!!!!!!!
I am watching Olympics today, the women's downhill, and -- sorry if this is a spoiler -- can hardly keep my eyes on it given that this sport has morphed from skiing to "Massive Wipe Outs on Snow". It's horrifying!! So far I haven't seen any skiier not be able to get up again afterwards, so no one seems permanently damaged, but I imagine the bruises tomorrow will be absolutely frightening.

The figure skating has been like that, too. I'm waiting for someone to have the following revolutionary thought about figure skating: Maybe it's better to do a really good job on the jumps I know I can do than to fall on my ass attempting the ZOMG AWESOME jump that I've never been able to pull off before.
Damn, you were not kidding. I just finished watching downhill (and I cried watching Lindsey Vonn cry, I'm such a tool) and the crashes! The horrific crashes! It was like watching them crash onto concrete. Awful.
