Which Winter Olympic Sport Would You Do?

[McKenna]

Poll to follow.

I've been watching the Olympics this weekend. Last night it was women's mogul and couples figure skating, today it's women's hockey. When I was a kid, we used to hold the "Olympics" at my house. My brothers and sisters and cousins and sometimes the neighbors would participate. We each had a little Olympic dream, I guess.

So here's my question, if you were an athlete at the Olympics, which sport would you be playing?

I could see myself doing something like hockey, say, before doing something like figure skating --but some of the skiing events look pretty cool, too. The event I wouldn't do? Luge. Wtf?! Strap myself to an itty bitty sled and cruise 80-90 mph down an ice tunnel? Whose bright idea was that?! Actually, they're not even strapped in. Eeep.

Ice hockey. for sure. Played in H.S. and college, but certainly not at anthing approaching Olympic level.

Although I do love skiing, I can't imagine doing 80, but that's why the winter Olympics are so much better than the summer - much riskier events.

Ski Jumping. It looks so damn cool.



If you think Luge is insane, try Skeleton. Same thing, head first.

I voted for Curling. It just seems so fun, I can't really explain why it appeals to me. I think I just like the polishing the ice part.

I'd do figure skating just to wear an extravagant revealing costume

Insane. Does wrapping a watermelon in a helmet and dropping it from a 10-story building really protect it? I even wonder if that's a comparable situation?!

 

[McKenna]

By The Way...

Unfortunately the poll would only allow ten choices. The five I had to leave out were these:

Biathalon
Freestyle Skiing
Nordic Combined
Short Track
Skeleton

Feel free to choose any of these if you like.

Just watch out you don't pull a Katarina Witt.

I have this sudden urge to open up a new thread. "Which Winter Olympic Athlete Would You Do?"

Yeah, my mind is in the gutter. I like it down here.

Snow man building.

There's no option for falling on my ass?

 

[ABSTRUSE]

I would take the gold in that one.

 

[carsonshepherd]

I would take the gold in that one.

LOL. And I'd be right under you.

 

[Colleen Thomas]

Biathalon.

I can't ski, but I can sure shoot

 

[ABSTRUSE]

LOL. And I'd be right under you.

Woohoo!!!

I hope Colly doesn't shoot us.

 

[impressive]

Figure skating ... 'cause I've never been graceful & always wanted to be. *shrug*

The whole American snowboard team. *nods*

 

[devoted lilgirl]

I instantly had the naughty answer in mind

"Is there fucking in the snow...that I could do"

but I see the thread is already going into our pants...lol...

SO I vote curling, it's the only one I am in any way close to being coordinated enough to do...

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Is Stop, Drop and Roll one? or is that summer?

I have to bow out of that poll for being unable to make up my mind...

There's the thighs on female speed skaters. (I'm latin... thighs are dear to my heart... err... yeah my heart.)

Then there's the butts on female figure skaters...

Then there's all those blondes in the skiing sports... I love blondes.

[Belegon]

There is no doubt for me...the Downhill. I suffer from a relatively unhealthy need for speed and would not be deterred by the danger of it...

 

[McKenna]

Biathalon.

I can't ski, but I can sure shoot

Perfect choice! I'd have chosen the same for you, Colly.

Why do you think I chose ice hockey?
