I love watching the olympics

I really enjoy watching the Olympics - summer and winter.  In the winter, I find the various ice skating events most compelling, probably because I remember ice skating as a youth (very simple back and forth across the ice, nothing tricky) so I can imagine a little of what they are feeling.  Likewise, although I didn't do it often, skiing was fun.  Again I can imagine what they might be feeling.  On the other hand, I have never slid down a slope on a snow board but I watched in awe this evening as young men competed in the slope style snow board event.  I can't even begin to imagine launching myself down a slope, up and over a slope, then, high in the air doing 3 or 4 flips and landing balanced perfectly on the board, and then doing it three mroe times.  Wow -  fun to watch, I have absolutely no desire to ever try it.
