What I’ve learned about the Winter Olympics:

• There are a lot of events in speed skating
• There are also a lot of events on the downhill icy-slide
• Scandinavians are really good at cross-country skiing
• Scandinavians are even better at cross-country skiing and shooting stuff
• In hockey, anything can happen—when you take NHL players out of the equation
• Curling watches better with pint of beer (or two)
• Secretly, we all watch to see if someone will wipe out.
• If you are even one of the best in the world—that’s something to be proud of
• Don’t piss off a Scandinavian.

What have you learned?
