Mostly A’s – Skeleton

Clearly you are the daredevil among us.  Sliding down an ice tube at 80 plus miles per hour face first may sound crazy to most folks, but not to you.  You live life in the fast lane and never run out of energy.  Sometimes your adrenaline leads you to some poor decisions, but that’s alright. In skeleton there are always more runs!

Mostly B’s – Curling

This beloved winter Olympic sport is for all those souls who have ever been described as “quirky.”  Pushing a rock down an ice rink with brooms into a bulls eye sounds kind of ridiculous.  Maybe because it is.  Or maybe it is a sport for you, the slightly ridiculous one.  If the sport itself is not enough, the uniforms can be rather out of the ordinary as well (see picture).

Mostly C’s – Figure Skating

Grace.  Beauty.  Poise.  Figure skating is all about embodying the role of the ice prince or princess.  This event is full of sparkly costumes, classical music, and beautiful moves.  Figure skating is the sport for the more refined among us.

Mostly D’s – Cross-Country Skiing

If you have ever tried to watch cross-country skiing you know that it is essentially two hours of athletes ski/walking through kilometers of snow.  There’s really nothing flashy about this event, but it takes an individual who is not easily

bored.  Thrill seekers need not apply. Cross-country skiing is perfect for those who believe that slow and steady wins the race.
