I have enjoyed the drama of the Olympics since the 1980 hockey teams's accomplishments. I will never forget watching that in junior high. That was the year Eric Heiden won 5 medals and the the kid that sat next to me in home room was one of the best speed skaters in his age group at the time. I went to as many events as I could get to in Atlanta in '96. Still, the winter games are full of games that seem death defying to me.
All that being said, while flipping through the channels the other day, I found women's curling. Some of these women look really good. Even in the middle of competition they look made up enough to host the local news.
Maybe I will learn to watch this sport as well. I can almost imagine myself learning to participate in this one. There is no chance you are getting me on skates.
