I loved watching the Olympics, like most of the population for me the ski cross really stood out, but so did the boarder cross which wasn't mentioned so much. Parallel slalom on snow boards was fun and Shaun White was just amazing on the half pipe. The skiing was let down by the conditions. It has made me think twice about when to go out to Whistler, though each night watching the overhead shots of the resort I kept pointing out the pistes between all the trees, there are never many trees where I ski in France.
On Sunday night I watched my first complete game of ice hockey - and wished I'd watched more, it was really exciting and I'll remember to tune in sooner next time. I thought it was a great games and am happy for Canada in what they managed to host, sometimes under difficult circumstances. It was great to see the Canadians fully backing their country by the end. |

You're doing all that AND surfing at the same time :shock: Unfortunatly the slalom was a bit too wet, foggy and slushy to get max enjoyment from. |

Yes I did watch the mens races. They used their bulk to push each other out the way whilst the ladies seemed to have more skill at overtaking without force (just used a few elbows instead) |

It's carnage the ladies have more balls than the men :shock:

I did ski the World Championship skicross course in Alpe d'Huez this year - but didn't risk getting any air... or much speed....

Reminds me of a jump I did last year, twisted my knee and was in pain for 6 months.
Only difference was I was in MK Snowdome and jumped about a foot! :oops: |
