The Winter Olympics Have Been And Gone. But Have They Encouraged You To Take Part In A Winter Sport? Perhaps Ice Skating, Skiing, Or Snowboarding?

Question

I've been Ice Skating and Skiing in the past, though I've only been a few times.

I'm sure I can skate around an ice rink, or ski down a mountain without falling down, but I'm very much at the beginners stage.

What level are you at?

I went skiing once as a kid with borrowed equipment. It wasn't bad, and I did okay, but it's expensive and I had better things to do with my money once I started making my own.

In the best of circumstances I could see myself sliding down some local hills on a snowboard. But I’m not driving long hours to a designated winter sport place, no siree!

I can ice skate and I'm a beginner skier. I have my own pair of skates and there's so many ice rinks in my city during winter.

Ironically no. But it did prompt me to buy into a sports channel for the first time in 4 years.

I’m still very much a summer-sports girl, tennis has my heart 🎾☀️ but the Winter Olympics always make me itch to try new things. I’ve only gone skiing a couple of times and I’m definitely a cautious beginner, snowplowing my way down the easy slopes 😅. Ice skating I’m a bit better at, but still nowhere near spins or jumps.

I am a lifelong native and resident of Florida. Our only winter sport is running on the beach. And I did not watch one minute of the 2026 Olympics.

I won't do it no... but if I ever tried... it would be speed skating and probably sprinting too... I got the hams for it, lmfao

You know the kid in school that could bend his thumb backwards until it touched his wrist? That was me. My ankles are not winter-sport friendly.

BonzoInBitburg · Answer

I'm born and raised in Canada and consider summer sports boring. Winter sports are way more fun.

I didn't even realize they happened because I stop watching the woke games years ago. They have no influence.

The first and only time I went skiing at Park City, Utah, I ripped my ACL in half. Two surgeries and a year of physical therapy later, my leg and knee are fine, but I have never gone near the snow again if I can avoid it.
