The Winter Olympics 2010 in Vancouver, Canada is just around the corner. For those who have not been privy to all winter sports since the last Olympic Games, here's the Top Ten list (in no particular order) of possible points. Just remember, not just sports that make worth watching the Olympics!
- The opening ceremonies
No matter who you are or where are the Olympics, deep in your heart you know that there is nothing more exciting than the opening ceremonies. China's summer show since the bar high for Canada, but you can bet his skin again going to put your all into it.
- Women's field hockey
1998 saw the debut of women's field hockey at the Olympics. Since then, there has been much enthusiasm about it in the U.S.. But this year, Team USA is a favorite for gold. Canada has dominated this season, but coach Mark Johnson has high hopes for his team. Can do for the Olympic hockey gold women what he did for the women's game? Chastain is doubtful there will be a "Brandy moment" with all that gear, but maybe people will realize there anyway.
- Biathlon
Extremely popular in Europe but largely ignored in the U.S., have struggled biathletes to secure funding and training until this year. When the sport was finally seen by a member of prosperous money was finally available to make things going. The big star for the U.S. will be Tim Burke, who won two silver medals and bronze in the World Cup in Ostersund. This could be a great start of sport under appreciated.
- Stephen Colbert
When Deutsche Bank collapsed and its commitment of $ 300,000 for Team USA Speed Skating went with him, Colbert came to the plate. It took less than a month to the "Colbert Nation" to replace the funds. No There is sure to be a lot of Colbert's scathing satire during the games. Like him or not, the actor has the audience and the power to make things happen.
- The U.S. team-1 four-man sled
Steve Holcomb was the pilot "Night Train" with co – Team Justin Olsen, Steve Mesler and Curt Tomasevicz with stunning results. Three gold medals in events of the World Cup season gets on top of his game. It is even more Holcomb surprising considering about quitting because of problems with the eyes bobsleigh. Surgery in 2008 restored his vision and renewed his love for the sport.
- Skier / snowboarder antics
Although Bode Miller recently sprained ankle, it could still make the games. And you can be sure that he and the other downhill skiers will be as crazy as ever. Add in the new addition of skicross inspired extreme sports to the mix and you have a recipe for a speed-induced adrenaline madness that only children who frequent the track can produce. If we could all be there to after the match.
- Apolo Ohno and Shani Davis
On December 11, Davis broke his own world record 1500m in 1:41.04 to come in, surpassing its previous record of 1:41.80. In the long track, Davis is practical for the man to beat. Ohno, who at 27 is the state of short track competing in his third Olympics in 2010. Will be pushing beat Eric Heiden's record of seven golds won at the Winter Olympics. But better watch out, JR Celski is a young man moving into the ranks, and one of the few who could give a tour Ohno for their money.
- Kim Yu-Na
The figure skater from South Korea is the undisputed favorite for gold in 2010. Your signature triple-triple exhibits an intense athleticism, along with a grace that takes the audience on their feet. At Skate America in Lake Placid, New York broke the scoring record for the short program, earning a 76.28. While the Olympics brings out the patriot in most of us, sometimes just has to sit and appreciate poetry in motion.
- Ice Dancing
The possibilities are open for ice dance this year. While the U.S. Mature Meryl Davis and Charlie White won gold at Grand Prix Final in no way places above the other competitors. Two favored teams lost this season so it is difficult to judge who will come on top in 2010. Everyone is sure that give their all in Vancouver. It will be exciting to see strong competition between couples.
- Skeleton
After 54 year absence, the skeleton returned to the Winter Olympics in 2002 and included both men and women. Appointed as the new metal sled used in 1892 looked like a skeleton, it is difficult to deny the emotion caused by people falling headlong down a path of 80 miles per hour. Look for the return of Noelle Pikus-Pace, U.S. women first to win the World Cup in 2005. He has returned to take the seasons for 2007-2008 were to have a child, but emerges as a major threat in Vancouver.
Canada is putting its best foot forward to make this a great winter Olympics. Take time to see a variety of sports. You never know, it could become the latest curling fan, or know I really enjoy moguls below. Bundle up, grab a punch, and enjoy the best athletes in the world has to offer in winter sports.
