The 2010 winter olympics are ON! It's pretty exciting to watch the events, though I can admit I am a seasonal fan (although I did watch a lot of the skiing, luge and sled events on TV during the 1-2 months leading up the olympiad). I got to say the short track races are wicked cool-totally high energy, super fast, with some strategy, and, I think what REALLY gets me into it, is the competition. No judges scoring, no time (per se), no outside factors. Pure racing. Kinda like tri, except they are done in minutes.
Anyway, the point to my blog post has to do with the one guy my homeland sends over to compete. I was in such disbelief; we looked up on the eenternet to see what we could find. You're 51 (the next 3 oldest alpine skiers are 40, 38 and 36). Wiki sez you're a trendy euro socialite. A pop-singer. A successful business guy. And a european prince. With all these things you do, you really gonna tell me you are going to bring it like the world-class 20 to 30-year olds who sleep, eat and breathe training? All I'm saying is the up-and-coming mexican athletes in other sport disciplines will likely be (shall we say?) kinda upset at the resource allocation by the mexican olympic committee to send you over if your game is not up to par, man. Not to mention the tens of millions of aztecas who will think the whole thing is a ridiculously bad joke. So bring it. I REALLY honestly hope you do.
rant off..
