cant wait for my fav the luge

robin williams: "Well there's the luge and I have only one question. What drunken, German gynecologist invented that sport? And he said: You know what? I want to dress like a sperm, shove an ice skate in my ass, and go balls first down an ice chute. Yah, that would be fun!"

Michelle Kwan is a perfect example of what the problem with the Olympics sports. If it doesn't happen during an Olympic year, it somehow doesn't count. Kwan goes out now without a gold medal. But she dominated the sport for over a decade. She won five world championships. But the Olympics only come around every four years, and she didn't win those years. She had four shots at them in her career. The first she was just starting out and didn't medal, the second and third she got a bronze and a silver, and the fourth she was past her prime and got knocked out by an injury.

It'd be like if Michael Jordan could only play for the NBA championship every four years? He could win the title 3 out of 4 years, but if he didn't win on the right year, it somehow wouldn't count. Every NFL, NBA, and MLB player has a shot at a championship every year. A lot of things have to go just right to be world champion. Michelle Kwan did it 5 times, but just not in the years when anyone was paying attention.
