Well If all that is the case, they should have to strap a 200 pound weight to their backs for the final ski.....HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You cannot understand it?? Ya, I know 'Cause biathlon have it roots in a special military unit: "Gebirgsjäger" - "Mountain Infantry" ("High-Mountain-Platoon") and you don't have it in the states!!

LMAO! Funnily enough, Craig actually suggested maybe that was the origin of the biathlon, skiing and shooting to hunt LOL!

Yeah, I have cross-country on as I type. That is what made me think...damn, this is boring!

I was also thinking the EXACT same thing about the "ski and shoot" event yesterday. Now running on SNOWSHOES and shooting, THERE would be a sport! Watching them trip over tennis racquets tied to their feet, guns going off by accident shooting the guy running in front of you....
[Deep Freeze] Monday, February 15, 2010 12:47:23 PM 
HA!!!!!!! Well at least THAT kind of makes sense. I watched the "biathalon" yesterday and still cannot quite understand it.  Hmm, let's see...we ski and shoot??? OOOOOKAAAAY. Just how the heck did that become an event?? Back in "Viking days", one would find out from the Mrs. that the in-laws were coming over for dinner and they were out of deer?? "Oh CRAP!! Where's my skis and my rifle??.. I am off to ski fast and shoot!"   HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is me and cross-country skiing. 9 miles and I KNOW it is tough but, man, I hate to "skate" when you often have to do so to get to another downhill run.

Then again, I never really had much time on real cross-country skis.

LOL snowboarding is actually one event that I have zero interest in, so no worries there.

Yeah, I am watching snowboarding as I type. Spoiler! All three Americans qualified! LOL!!!

(no need to watch it now...sorry, nobody from S. Africa, Australia nor NZ).

That sucks Joe, I'm sure I saw a South African contingent enter the stadium during the opening ceremony the other day too. Winter Olympics is pretty interesting, some sports one never hears of except for every 4 years LOL!

Well, its about quarter after noon here and the Olympics start in 45 min. I wonder if anyone else here already has them on TV? Looks like Snow Boarding is on tap today. I'm pretty sure the USA owns that event. Could be wrong but I sure see a ton of those kids running around here with the baggy jeans and flannel....And this is the desert!!!!!!!
[Head banger] Monday, February 15, 2010 8:14:45 AM 
yeah, no kidding.

Oh yes, I did see that. It's rather painful for me to watch, though. Looks incredibly hard on the knees...*youch*

Yeah, no kidding!! I have watched only because there have been events televised during the day. At night, I do not bother.

especialy considering the games are in your time zone.

Hmm. I don't understand that at all. I cannot imagine having NO coverage of a GLOBAL event?!?? I will say that I am less than thrilled with NBC's presentation of the Games. They are delaying the coverage to put it into "primetime" but, with today's internet access, the results are reaching us in real time. They even admit that they are "losing money" by hosting these Games yet they delay the coverage anyway?? One would think they would present them in realtime and save their (allegedly) "good" programs at their regularly scheduled hour? Shows just how great these network primetime shows really are!

Hi Freeze!
So glad you had a really cool Valentines yesterday (as did I, I must add lol) 

I'm pretty dissapointed though, I've surfed through all our sport channels and have yet to see any coverage of the Olypics so far. Pretty dissapointing as to when it's the Olypics it has a whole channel dedicated but not the winter Olypics? Not fair!

And a fine morning to one and all!!!! I am so sorry to have missed all the "fun" yesterday but, as I have someone that I do love, I made the decision to spend that very special day with her! AH! What a fine day it was, too. Apparently, I made the right choice. Nothing worse than seeing someone give away their dignity.

Well, looks as if we are going to have another sunny, warm day here in Vegas!! Woo Hoo!! Always better for me. Olympics are on a bit later so I believe it is time for a cup of coffee and the paper...and perhaps some of my "crappy" music?  HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Morning!
