Pretend You Are An Olympic Athlete . . .

Maybe Cabin Fever mixed with Olympic Fever is too much for me right now, but I am wondering this:

If you could be an Olympic athlete in these Winter Games, what sport would you pick?

Me? Snowboard cross.

I thought I would never say this, but after watching way too much of it this weekend I want to try Curling!  There is just something about those stones they push that look so smooth and cool... I really really want to touch one. 

Is that super weird?

btw - when I read your post from today I just about jumped of my couch (which is impossible because just like you I'm 8 months pregnant) anyway... I too was dying of cabin fever today!  Maybe they should make it a holiday, because it was seriously eating me alive!  I was about to poke my eyes out trying to figure out how to entertain my 2 year old.

Sometimes I'm fascinated by how many lives are really so alike in their day to day tasks.  especially us moms.

I love hockey and we go to a lot of games here at home, and then watching it and cheering the teams on.  I would love to play hockey.

I also love the curlig event.  Curling is addictive.  I begin watching it and then I don't move.  I sit glued to the television watching the stone slide on the ice with such control.

Ice Dancing -- so much cooler and athletic than it used to be. Much more entertaining than the Pairs, and nice costumes - plus it is inside so no weather worries.   But my very close second pick would be snowboard cross.

It would be snowboard halfpipe for me.

 

For summer olympics, I'd have to say swimming, either freestyle or backstroke.

I'd say the ski jumping where they do backflips and twists and stuff.  (Do you like my really technical terms??  I get an adrenaline rush just watching!  

Curling!  I am a competitive curler and would love to curl in the olympics!
 

Cross country skiing. I competed in it in high school and though I know it's not very "glamorous", I enjoy the lack of judging: fastest time wins.
