I figure the moguls skiers have had the tendons in their knees replaced with industrial-strength rubber bands. That's the only explanation I got. Of course I also watch the downhillers thinking "My knees cannot take that." (Of course, my parents, who used to do stuff like ski Sun Valley, have explained to me that my bigger problem would be my technique; ie schussing down the bunny hill and stopping by falling over. Not so much on a super-GS course.) I stick to Nordic, and I can do 10K...just a bit slower. Like twice as long as the people in 30th place.
I am SO HAPPY over pairs. And (since they didn't come anywhere close to threatening Shen and Zhao) I could even learn to like Kavaguti/Smirnov in another four years. (It's really hard to dislike Tamara Moskvina.)
Tonight should be very, very interesting. Will Plushy do the 4-3-3 and just skip all the non-jump elements and win anyway? Can Chan back up his mouth with his skates? Will switching to fake fur to appease the rabid fans throw Johnny completely off his game? Stay tuned...
