Marathon with Firearms I say !!
I watched the winner cross the finish line with a couple of guys chasing him. Idiots, why are you chasing him? You've got a rifle for god's sake, why wear yourself out? :haha:

I like watching opening ceremonies, biathalon, curling, bobsled ... I guess events that I think I could manage.

I also like figure skating. If you've done it, you have to watch it. It's one of those things, I guess.

there isn't a summer equivalent of running and shooting? I thought there was . . .

I voted for the ones I prefer to watch. Skiing, snowboard 1/2 pipe ... But to define the Olympics I think the skating has to be at the top. I'm just not a fan of it though.

Children 18 years of age and younger will require parental/guardian permission before access to the ice. Due to the expected high traffic and interest in curling this year due to the Olympics, we will not be able to accommodate children under the age of 10 years old to try out curling on the ice during the open house. They are welcome at the club and can see the ice. We apologise for this inconvenience.
->tip off that the club is run by a brit ex pat

Very cool - no pun intended - I think we might give that a go.

That is the funniest thing I have read in a while. What a beaut! Unfortunately they are limited in the number of clips and cartridges they carry, so at the end they are out. Unless they pulled a Barney Fife and had one extra in a shirt pocket. Classic! Reminds me of The Long Walk by Richard Bachman a.k.a.Stephen King. Only short story I have ready more than once.

I think downhill skating could be cool.....

glatt 03-01-2010 08:18 PM
skating down the bobsled track?

monster 03-01-2010 08:29 PM
that'd work. A frozen river/waterfall might be even more fun......

Skeleton is very nearly that anyway.
