My favorite Winter Olympics sport is Short Tracking speed skating. Very exciting, five racers on track at a time,reminds me of local Saturday night stock car racing. What's yours?
Curling. JUST KIDDING!! LOL! I like speed-skating too. Short Track, wasn't that what Apollo Ono did? That's ok, but I prefer the longer ones more. I also enjoy down hill skiing and think ski-jumping is pretty cool. The image of "the agony of defeat" in that ad that Jim McKay voiced over many years ago is burned into my brain. It was of a ski-jumper crashing and burning on the jump ramp (not the Olympics, but I believe was part of an Olympic ad, or possibly an ad for ABC's Wide World of Sports (see video link):
Apollo Ono was the one I first watched in the race .
Who we kidding? winter olympics is for the whites once they saw the writing in the wall on the summer. And that is okay... it does not snow in Puerto Rico. Winter olympics is too exclusive for my taste and yet I want you guys who like it to enjoy it. It did snowed a few millimeters yesterday morning in Maryland. I guess in honor of the super bowl I reckon. It takes a lot of guts to skydive after sliding down on snow or ice. Just not my cup of tea. I am from a different part of the world were snow is a fable.
Nigerian bobsleigh team has just qualified.
Splendid!!!
@Uncorrugated cool runnings all over again. Kool!!!!
