Aaah, it is but a few days until the Olympic Flame makes its triumphant entrance into the stadium in Vancouver, marking the start of the chilly version of "Seventeen Days of Glory."
Despite having had an abortive winter sports career that consisted of an abortive attempt at cross-country skiing (one that I never adequately apologized to my dad for--having duly bought me a pair of skis at my persistent insistence), I've long loved the cold version of the Olympics at least as much as the warm. Still, I think there's room for improvement--hence, my 2010 suggested Winter Olympic Combinations:
1) Biathluge: Combining the high-speed excitement of the luge with the precision of target shooting
2) Alpine Hockey: The offensive team passes the puck down the mountain while the defenders wait in front of the goal in the valley
3) Halfpipe Curling: Instead of pushing the stone straight to the target, the stone moves in pendulum motion, zigzagging down the snowboard half pipe towards Olympic glory
4) Short Track Ski Jumping: An abbreviated launch from higher altitude heightens the drama of an already breathtaking sport
5) Figure Slalom: Combining the artistics of figure skating with the short but precise turning of the slalom
While these are too late for inclusion in the 2010 agenda--how about trying these as video games?
