I’m sorry. I know I’m going to make a few people mad.
But I just cannot believe, as I watch the men’s short program for a few minutes during coverage of the Vancouver Olympics, that this is considered a sport.
I know these guys are tremendously athletic. I played hockey. I know how tricky it can be just to stay up on skates, much less make the graceful moves and amazing spins, turns and twists they make.
It is very athletic.
I don’t know, I just can’t get into it. I know it still will be perhaps the Olympics’ most popular event with or without me, but I’m sticking to hockey.
Sorry.
