Putin puts an "Iron Curtain" around the Olympics. Whats your sport?

[Guest TankerHC]

I say that jokingly. First thing I thought of when I saw Putin say that they are putting a wall of steel around the Olympics. Former Communist Vlad Putin + Wall of Steel = Iron Curtain. 

 

I cant wait to watch the Ski Jumping. Every year they go further and further, eventually one of them will sail right out of the Olympic venue or we will see "The Agony of Defeat" Part II. 

 

Ill also be watching Biathlon and rooting for Tim Burke even if he is from New York. (If he takes the Gold will Cuomo honor a world class shooter?). Our team has never won an Olympic Medal, but Eurosport says our team is the most improved in the World and the Europeans expect us to Medal for the first time and Burke has now Medaled twice in World Cup Competitions, plus this is his third try at the Olympics. Been reading about that team for about 6 months, the International Olympic Committee gave them a lot more money so they hired what they said were "World class shooting and ski'ing instructors", but I cannot see who the shooting instructor is. Anyone know.

 

According to USOC, the problem in previous shooting was breathing control when you have to take shots when your heart is pumping three times per second.

To be a long range accurate shooter you almost have to make your heart stop beating before pulling that trigger. Very hard to do in my books but I am hoping they bring home the Gold this year if they live long enough to get in and out without being blown up by a Black Widow................jmho
