February 5, 201412 yr I love short track speed skating. It's like running NASCAR at Bristol. Not a fan of figure skating or the X Games type events.
February 5, 201412 yr Can you name 5 athletes competing off the top of your head? I can not! But that's what I love about! Obscure, ordinary people who have worked their whole lives to get there.
February 5, 201412 yr And is there ANYTHING on Earth more snooze-inducing than compulsory figures? I'd rather read Joker's textbooks. Which I think is why they are no longer part of the competition.
February 5, 201412 yr Can you name 5 athletes competing off the top of your head? I can not! In the entire Olympics or in a specific event? Because if it's the whole thing, I can name the five Americans who will start for the men's hockey team off the top of my head... I can probably do the same thing for most of the other medal-contending countries. Apart from hockey... it gets real difficult.
February 5, 201412 yr Can you name 5 athletes competing off the top of your head? I can not! Shaun White, Lindsey Jacobellis, Bode Miller, Shani Davis, Mikaela Shiffrin, Lolo Jones

You are a hockey fan and a soccer fan. You sure you are from KY?
February 5, 201412 yr Shaun White, Lindsey Jacobellis, Bode Miller, Shani Davis, Mikaela Shiffrin, Lolo Jones I've heard of 2 names. Can't tell you what sport they are in.

February 5, 201412 yr Can you name 5 athletes competing off the top of your head? I can not! I can name at least the top 5-10 of snow boarders, alpine skiers, nordics, and free stylers from around the world. Most of the hockey players. Several of the women's curlers from the calendar. Mrs C and I watch the Winter X games all the time, and they're several times a year now.
