Natalie - I've got it - Curling. The sport where you push the big disc down the ice and use the broom. You could be ready for Vancouver and you can practice while you clean the house!!
Shar Rundio - Melissa, maybe it's something having to do with our age -- I've been pondering it, too. In fact, after watching Dara Torres I told Matt that if I take up swimming now I'll have 8 years to get ready and be younger than her by a year. I contemplated the luge, too. And after spending the weekend on the beach I can't believe how well those sand volleyball players can maneuver in that -- my calves are killing me! Stick with the photography, I think you've got a good thing going. I'll go with you to shoot them sometime! LY!
jamie Hammond - didn't you see cool runnings? you don't have to have ice! :)
Amy T Schubert - I don't want to discourage you ... but:

I think you should look into a team sport. ... maybe it would be less required?

Tanya Mills - What about archery? We know you have a good eye because of your wonderful photography!
Matt Nicolosi - Personally I'd rather be a judge. It requires no physical skill or - better yet - exercise of any kind on my part. All you have to do is critique, and no one can question you. Does it get any better than that? I submit it does not.
MattDJ - I've always LOVED the luge!!! Alright MJ...you and me...two 32 year old photographers turned lugers. Imagine the NBC video story on that one! :-)
Melissa Jill :) - Oh my goodness Tira--I totally meant to mention that in my post. I saw that Bryan Clay won the gold in the Decathlon!! Unbelievable. Everyone--he's an alumni of our university of about 2000 undergrad students (Azusa Pacific University). We're of course very proud :).
Victor Hugo Kawakami - Bah! I was thinking Biathlon but Jenny Arnez stole my thunder. It's shooting with skis on your feet! Or how about Archery?
I think either one would be a good match! :-)
If I had to pick one it would either be Badminton or the Long Jump.
Let us know which one you'll be training for.... :-)
Tira J - Oh Melissa! You crack me up. The Olympics are addicting. Be sure to celebrate at the end when you see our very own APU alum Bryan Clay win the .......oh wait, have you finished watching yet? Cheers to you.
Jenny Arnez - I have it! You should be on the US Olympic Team for shooting!
You're a natural!

Dennis - Luge in Arizona? I think those are water slides.
Katina - You are Hilar!!! I think that if you think a little deeper into what it means to have a TRUE gold medal you will realize and see you are well on your way to accomplishing it! I know, maybe you could shoot the Olympics someday? That you would be brilliant at.....and not get hurt on the LUGE!!! That recommendation will be my fame to claim for you!
