Mike,
Despite the fact that our weather is not ideally suited to Alpine Sports I love the Winter Olympics. I have not missed watching them since 1976 at Innsbruck when the TV coverage was somewhat limited. It was a better coverage in 1980 at Lake Placid in the US when Eric Heiden (USA) won 5 gold. From 1984 in Sarajevo where Torvill and Dean featured the TV coverage has been full on. Some events don't interest me much, like Torvill and Dean, as I think they should be at the Ballet not the Olympics, but most of the skiing and speed skating events I won't miss for the world.
Tomba La Bamba !!!!!!! What a legend
