Note to clown, PB and Doug: Insert Cheney on skis joke here. You're welcome.

Nah, in the Cheney biathalon you have fall down while trying to walk a straight line before shooting.

Ah, the old "What is a sport" chestnut. If you are concerned about subjectivity, at least consider snowboard cross and parallel grand slalom in snowboarding. Look at the finish line or compare the clock times, and you know who has won. Little subjectivity there.

Consider also that many well-accepted sports have their moments of subjectivity as well, when it comes to interpreting the rules. (Pass interference calls in football; calling a runner out in baseball, etc.)

PG,

I understand that these are all sports.

I just put them in scare quotes to highlight my contempt for them, in comparison with Nordic Biathlon.

I had to laugh out loud, watching women's curling.

The Swedish women's team was all tall, slender, beautiful blondes.

Talk about stereotypes!

Cheney would never participate. It's too much work getting in and out of the limo with ski's on.

Bill Clinton loved curling. When he played they used a double Whopper with cheese. He never lost.
