In the last few minutes before we fall asleep, we’ve been watching some olympics. I enjoy the biathlon. Jeremy likes the long track speed skating. We’ve both slid away from the judged competitions – like figure skating or half pipe skiing, though we do watch those a little bit. We still don’t really know the rules to curling. Most of the winter olympics looks super scary to me – it’s not entirely relaxing to watch.
Anyways, here are some winter olympics I propose which I might be interested in watching:
- ice carving (individual & team. speed & long form). you get a block of ice and an an appropriate theme. For example, this year could be “pasta” or “authoritarianism” and see what happens
- ice fishing (individual & team). includes building the hut on the frozen body of water and camping out there. Do you win for the most fish? or the biggest fish?
- ice cutting (individual & team) – go out to a frozen lake and cut blocks of ice and haul with your team of horses to an ice house. Most ice harvested in a certain amount of time wins.
- igloo building (individual & team) – points for both speed and beauty?
- sock knitting (individual – how would you do a team sock knit? perhaps a relay?)- points for both speed and beauty (this might be very boring to watch and to commentate on, but who knows?)
