"Right before I got into my starting post, I just ... all the negative thoughts just rushed into my head, and all the negative, just traumatic experiences, you know. I've been through a lot and it's not easy, so being the Olympic gold hopeful is really just a lot to deal with, especially for my age."

Before the next Olympics, I'm going to have to take lessons in "ski talk", especially snowboarding and big air.
What they say: "Oooh, she just attempted a 360 cork pop going into a Petosky spiral back boop! She'll get points for that, but she really needs a 1040-EZ and a rodeo guillotine if she wants Gold. Everyone's doing 1080 sterlings so it's going to take a triple squint and an elongated Hail Mary to sew this up."
What I hear: "She went down the hill, did some stuff and didn't fall down."

Seems to be a lot of 'Curling' events televised.
Must be popular.
Just found out there is a place to 'learn' Curling, less than one mile from my house.
Might just stop in and check the place out.
Reviews says the food is really good, so if all else fails, I grab something to go.
