I happened to catch a bit of the Olympics while out last night and had forgotten about my least favorite sport. Cross Country Skiing. Why? Because they look like they're just walking...on skis. Where is the fun? Where are the jumps? Where is the 90mph? These types of things are what I expect to watch when I turn on the Olympics. Cross Country Ski Racing is dreadfully painful to view. It makes me wonder why people want to do it, and want to pursue it professionally. Did they think to themselves "Well, walking is my best skill...I think I'll be a Cross Country Skier?" How does that thought process come about?
Now if I were in the Olympics, of course I'd pick Curling. Curling is where it's at. I'd be one of the broom people that spaz out on the ice. That is what the Olympics is really all about. You may argue that curling does not have the speed or jumps I was previously referencing. HOWEVER, curling makes up for it with a massive level of intensity. You can see what I mean by viewing the picture below.

That is me in that picture. I'll be the one who pushes the puck and you can sweep for me!
