If You Could Participate In Any ...

Olympic event, you had all the training you need, which one would it be and why?

I'm watching the women's curling and thinking that would be one of the least harsh events on your body both training for it and actually doing it for a long time.

I also love figure skating but I know how rough that can be on your bones and also falls can put you out of commission for long periods of time.

Which did you dream of doing or would you want to do?

Luge

Any kind of skiing

 

[Mr. H.]

I like the one where they ski with a rifle on their back, stop, shoot, ski, repeat. Cool.

I went cross country skiing in Canada once but just didn't keep up with it after that but I really had fun. We went ten miles the first time. It was a great experience. Beautiful terrain.

Yeah, both the women's (yesterday) and the men's (today) skeleton event have been completed. Russia got the gold for the men's event, and the UK for the women's event.

This is hard...in HS I excelled in volleyball, badminton and archery. I guess at my age I would probably be smart to choose archery.

Ten miles in cross country is impressive. I tried it a couple of years ago, went around the track which was about a half a mile and was exhausted. I quickly went back to the downhill!!

Luge has always looked like fun to me.

It was hard work and when it was over, I headed straight to our room and took a hot shower, ordered room service and went to bed. It was cold but you break a sweat.

Sorry, I kind of forgot about this thread.
