Okay, Olympics are almost over....which sport do YOU want to take up?

[Darth_Kitten]

Maybe I'll take up curling... :)

I used to do that as a kid, but for the life of me I wouldn't know how to do it now without instruction.

1. Olympic Curling Streaking

[LynneSin]

13. ROFLMDAO!

3. I want to try a quint in figure skating...fall on my ass, of course but

I'll still get points and win a medal.

8. I ice skated on my own and usually didn't fall

I never figured out how to spin though. I think that I could pass the first few levels quickly but I don't know if they would be too receptive to a 28 year old beginning figure skater.
One of my freshman college classmates has just started figure skating lessons in high school and entered low level competition. Some of the parents of the other competitors complained because she was much older than the children at that level.
Perhaps, I'd have more luck with speed skating. I guess that some people have taken up the sport at my age and have done quite well.

5. Sitting in a warm room, sipping hot chocolate.

I think they should make that an Olympic sport .... I would win the gold medal, for sure! :hi:

6. I think Curling too, with some changes

First of all, there needs to be some serious trash talking involved. Also, the US teams were far too in-shape for it. There needs to be some beer guts. And while we're at it, you need to be able to bring your beer to the game. Just sit it on the ice to keep it cold. Think of the sponsors you could get!

9. You're going back to the curling of yesteryear

When I played (30 years ago! yikes!), there were ashtray and beer stands all along the ice. We were talking about it today at work. When curling was first introduced into the Olympics (1988 - Calgary, as a demonstration sport), the rink for Canada was told to lose weight so they would look like "athletes". Heeee....

15. There's no cool like old school!

I really think the only thing better than being one of the curlers would be to be one of the groupies there. You'll recognize me as the one with the air horn in 2010!

I wonder who I need to petition to get an Olympic ice rink and curling club in Atlanta???

7. If I can't have curilng, I'll take the luge

What's not to love about the luge. Strap myself to a board, and go sailing down a steep hill. That sounds pretty smart, eh.

10. Snowboard (Moto)Cross

Racing on a track downhill against other riders. Looks fun as hell.

[flamingyouth]

11. Skeleton!

Actually, I want to enlist other people in it. :evilgrin:

[arwalden]

12. My Mother Curls...

... her hair!

[Benfea]

14. Is boob-staring an Olympic event yet? ;) -nt

[Wetzelbill]

16. Curling and maybe luge or bobsled

seriously, curling. I'd love to try it. I've never cross country skied either. I'd like to try that someday.
