It has been so hot here that the beach or the shopping centre didn’t appeal.
So I took to the couch & watched the The PyeongChang Winter Games over the whole weekend with a beer.
Wow.
Now I’m very cold & stiff when it is below +10C.
Here it is -13C & at the top of the mountain it maybe -30C.
How can they even flex??
First the Snow sliding.
Not that is not only gutsy, it is extreme & now I understand why these athletes compete at the X Games which I up to now have never watched.
What courage & how many crashes & emotions have they had to make it to the Games.
Yes games.
Even contemplating a somersault is impossible for me.
Let alone a triple somersault or a forward side 1440 or even a 270 backside.
The grade 11 maths student took some time to work out this snowslide jargon.
Gutsy when at the top they are apparently 15m up.
That’s 5 storys.
2 storys cleaning the guttering has me.
Same with the snow boarding .
And the luge reaching 142Km/hr.
I’m not confident on the bike at 1/3 that.
What time & stories & pain & maybe to miss by a hairline as in the speed skating or a decimal point with the judges or just a miscalculation to crash.

As an advertisers jingo’s said.
Do the Impossible and Start what you can’t.
Never again will I prejudge those at the skate park.
Yes Sir.
