3. Ski/snow board cross- this is where the athletes start at the top of what looks a hot wheels track and race down. I am sure this sport was invented by a 14 year old and is exactly what little boys around the world do on just about anything that moves fast. From skis and snow boards to skate boards,bikes and roller skates 14 year olds have been racing for years and it is nice to see it is finally paying off in the olympics.
2. Short track speed skating- this event is for anyone that was ever undersized,a little weak or just was able to weasel their way into tight spaces growing up. Remember that kid that always found a way to cut in line when it was time to go in after recess? That kid would be great at this sport. It is a little about speed skating but is more about finding a weakness in your opponents skating style. If your kid keeps getting in trouble for cutting in school, you might want to get him a pair of speed skates.
1. 4 man bobsled- this is an event that before this year,I didn't care about and frankly looked like a sled competition that was not much fun to watch. But after watching this years things changed. The usa won the gold metal and the driver looked like half the guys I play poker with! The only difference is he was wearing a unitard. This guy looked about 5'5, 40 years old,hat a pot belly ,was bald and looked like he was suited for a wing eating contest! His team mates would rub his hear after each run. I think he comes from a long line of sleaders but I am pretty sure my body type would work in that sport. I am also positive they went to the pub for burgers and beers to celebrate the gold.
My kind of sport.
Sorry the olympics are over and am excited about the summer games in 2012. Maybe they will offer wing eating. That seems like a summer sport.
