Question of the Day: Post Olympic Thoughts

Question of the day: What was your favourite Olympic memory / moment ?

I have three:
- Talking to a few athletes (on twitter) and I am gonna try out their different sports this summer,
- Watching a friend of mines, friends take part in one of the snowboarding events. She didn’t medal but she had a blast
- As well seeing everyone in their countries colours cheering like no tomorrow.

Answers from Facebook:
- Plushenko’s many antics, including this gem if a quote: “Without the quad, it’s not men’s figure skating.”
- Joannie Rochette skating and winning bronze!
- Jubilant crowds on car free streets.
- Gold Medal Men’s Hockey will always live in my Memory.
- My daughters excitement as the torch came though.. she was sitting on her dads shoulders and screamed out “YAY!!!” Super cute.
- Running through the streets of downtown Vancouver yelling and screaming with a bunch of other people waving the Canadian flag. Total strangers, but all Canadian
- When we won gold and silver for women’s bobsledding, gold for both hockey teams, and the ridiculous closing ceremony with the flying moose. Ahaha

Question of the Day: Winter Olympics

With the 2010 Winter Olympic Games starting tomorrow..

The Question of the Day : If you made it to the Winter Olympics as an athlete, what would be your sport?

My answer: Bobsleigh .. I had a chance to try out for the team years ago but at that time I didn’t want to move to Calgary and or give up Dragon Boating. Now I’m kicking myself for it.

Answers from Facebook:
- Napping,
- Luge – that looks like so much fun,
- Figure skating… which I actually did for a while,
- Hockey,
- Is being a gangster an Olympic event?
- Snowman tipping,
- Snowboarding,
- Toboggan Super Cross,
- sticking my tongue to a frozen pole for the win!,
- Curling,
- My sport would be making sure everyone got along as best as possible, and truly enjoyed the spirit!

Answers from Twiter:
