Lately I have been watching the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, which is probably why my homework isn't getting done.
However, I am not here to talk to you about my poor work ethic instead I want to talk about the winter Olympic sports. What I have noticed at these Olympics is that half of these sports I have never heard of, or have never really given much thought to. Biathlon, curling? And yet here these sports are being broadcasted for the world to see. And what's really interesting is that the people who participate in these sports are ordinary people. Yes, they are Olympians but what I mean by ordinary is that if you were to be walking down the street most of you wouldn't recognize them.
So I have been thinking about this a lot lately and have decided that I want to be an Olympian. I think that if I were to switch over to some bizarre sport that no one really knows of I could actually have a chance. Of course I am just messing with you all, but in reality I have a lot of respect for these people and really would love to have been an Olympian. However, if I could pick a sport to participate in for the winter Olympics it would probably have to be boardercross. First of all snowboarding is awesome, and second of all you are racing against other people, which means that it is a clear win. You don't have to worry about subjective judging.
On a plus note I could totally see myself as a boarder chick.
