Fun on Friday- The Winter Olympics (Week 1)

Here are some thoughts on the first week of the Winter Olympic:

It's always an ugly scene of frozen slobber when biathlon skiers cross the finish line.

Sequins, feathers and fur- men's figure skating is embarrassing.

Are the moguls skiers wearing old-man pajamas with knee pads?

Which of these does not fit?
A. downhill skiing
B. bobsled
C. hockey
D. curling
I enjoy watching curling as much as the next guy but calling curlers "athletes" just doesn't seem right. Including curling in the winter games with downhill skiers is like pairing motocross riders and people who play checkers in the summer games; it's just not going to happen.

I love when the athletes talk about how much they've sacrificed, like Lindsey Vonn "missing her prom". She probably missed her prom because she was skiing in Europe. Not exactly sacrifice.
