I love the Olympics. But, I'm realizing that what I love most is watching the Olympic skiers. Maybe it's because I grew up on skis. I wonder if, with the right training and dedication, I cound have ever been a competitor... then during the commerical break I head to the fridge for another bowl of ice cream. So, probably not.

Let's start with the women. If you haven't seen her crash, just take my word for it. Lindsey Kildow took a terrible spill during her practice run. Watching it literally makes me reconsider any potential ski trips I might have ever again. She spent a night in the hospital, and despite her injuries she shows up, competes, and does pretty darn well. As far as I'm concerned, she's a total bad ass.

As for the men's team... I have a huge crush on pretty much the entire team. Not since the summer Olympic's men's swim team have I seen such a strikingly handsome group of men. As I was googling Bode Miller the other day, I stumbled upon a fan website at maintained by three European girls called Bodelicious.net. Ted Ligety has just about the nicest smile and prettiest blue eyes. Toby Dawson, Travis Cabral, Jeremy Bloom... they're all just plain hot. And then there's that Australian guy who is an Olympian/millionaire entrapeneur. Basically, the next time someone tries to set me up on a date and wants to know what my "type" is, I think I will just send them a copy of this year's roster.
