Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!
My question is:
If you could compete in a Winter Olympic sport (and be good at it), which would it be?

Boy I’m confused about the Links but I entered mine. Mine is 79 and this just came up like 2 minutes ago LOL. So much for google reader LOL. Well I would do the speed skating. I really enjoy that. Have a great Friday

I would totally do figure skating. It is so graceful! I am the opposite of graceful so that would be a dream come true

Figure skating. Definitely figure skating although years ago when I was young it would have been skiing.

It would be the luge, lol because it’s close to the ground and it’s over with quickly. And I’m tiny so I can fit in.
Deborah´s last blog ..Welcome to FeedBurner
I am not huge into the Winter Olympics at all. I would probably say curling cause that looks like a technique that I could master!

I enjoy watching the Winter Olympics, but I don’t think I would be good at any… I think Ice Hockey looks fun!

Curling. Love that sport, low impact also.
Here’s my Aloha Friday link for you
As a long time hockey fan, I would have to say hockey
I don’t know if I’d be good at it – but I’d like to try Curling. That actually looks kinda fun and maybe something I could do
Sue´s last blog ..Aloha Friday & Friday Follow
figure skating for sure
Kristen´s last blog ..Reality????
I would love to be able to figure skate! I remember going to see Dorothy Hamill has a little girl and loved it! I was so proud and excited. My mom bought me picture while we were there and I remember showing it to everyone out the window on the freeway going home! What a little dork I was…lol

So this week I did it right and came up with my own question… and you more or less came up with the same one!!! There’s a different twist to mine, though
Sport I could DO? And Winter Olympics only, I see… I’d say skiing! It would make DH happy.

I love the grace of figure skating and the speed and excitement of skiing. But all these is wishful thinking because I’m such a klutz.

If I dared to do any of them, it would be the downhill moguls! It looked like so much fun.
Cammi´s last blog ..Aloha Friday #17
My first instinct is to go with figure skating, but I have to agree that the curling looks interesting. Funny, hubbie really wants to get into it now, but I don’t think there is any place around here to try it out. Anyone tried it??
Serendipity is Sweet´s last blog ..Aloha Friday
Snowboarding or hockey!
pam´s last blog ..Friday Follow
If I couldbe really, really good at it? Figure Skating.
Jennifer´s last blog ..Teaser Tuesdays-The Things That Keep Us Here
I don’t know – I always would have said figure skating before, but I was having a lot of fun watching the snowboard halfpipe last night too, so maybe that would be it. Actually, I’d love to just be that good at anything.
I think snowboarding would be fun to be great at. Too bad I’m not naturally coordinated enough for that. lol
Amy @ Coffee with the Mrs.´s last blog ..Aloha Friday ~ 2-19
To be that good to compete in the olympics….I would have to pick downhill skiing. I always wished I could try skiing but due to physical issues couldn’t. My son skis and tells me how great it is..matter of fact…he is going tomorrow.
Definitely figure skating. I am scared of heights so that rules out most of the others LOL.
Jen´s last blog ..Aloha Friday 2/19/10
If shopping were considered a winter sport, I’d be a multi-gold medalist

Shannon (The Mommy-Files)´s last blog ..Aloha Friday #40
I’d say curling, it is most similar to shuffleboard (I played that growing up in FL).
Laufa´s last blog ..AF: Sports
That’s funny! I guess great minds think alike. My question is about the Olympics too. Come on over and answer mine!
As for my answer…Figure Skating
IE Mommy´s last blog ..Giggles & Grins – Window Shopping
Definitely ice skating! Love the costumes, flips, fancy foot work and performing with the nusic. It isn’t just a sport but an artistic expression!
Krissi´s last blog ..Aloha Friday #5
I would be good at being a spectator only.
Ha! I would make a good judge…that’s about it!
Muthering Heights´s last blog ..A Painter By Any Other Name…
I’d do the ice skating because I love to dance.
JamericanSpice´s last blog ..SADE “Soldier Of Love” CD Giveaway – 3 Winners!
LOL, maybe figure skating? I think I would be a better spectator though.
Melanie @ Whimsical Creations´s last blog ..Aloha Friday #17
I would ski!! I am terrified of it, but if I was good at it, it might be worth a shot
For sure it would be Ice Dancing! I used to take ice dancing lessons…many moons ago….even met my hubby at the Ice Palace Hawaii! lol!!
East Coast Wahine´s last blog ..It’s Aloha Friday #24
That’s a good question, especially since I’m not terribly athletic! I guess it would be figure skating, since it’s one of the only ones I can do! Happy Friday
Ashley@ Just Another Mom of 2´s last blog ..Aloha Friday- and Friday Follow!
I think I would like to compete in figure skating!
Jackie´s last blog ..Aloha Friday – Making The Bed
I couldn’t actually name all the events to be honest, um… skiing?
Jen E @ mommablogsalot´s last blog ..End The Late Night Binges: A New Trick To Help You Put Back The Chips
Ohh, good one. I think either figure skating or halfpipe.
Megan´s last blog ..The Guiding Light…The Protector
well, winter skating I guess…
pinaymama´s last blog ..Girls Talk: Valentine Snapshot 2010
If I wasn’t afraid of heights, was in better shape and could be in any Olympic Sport I wanted, I would choose Snowboarding Half Pipe! It has got to be the most creative and cool sport in the games… and you know how bad I want to be creative AND cool!
Cindy Lietz, Polymer Clay Tutor´s last blog ..The Polymer Clay Bead Giveaway Contest is About to Wrap Up
I would love to be a figure skater! I like that it’s like putting on a show, with the music and emotion.
Although snowboarding looks like a ton of fun too! How cool would it be do be able to do those tricks?! Fun!
Kellie´s last blog ..Loving the Winter Olympics!
i have always wanted to be a figure skater!
jen´s last blog ..Thankful Thursday
Most definitely skiing. Love it. Have a rockin’ weekend!
The Moody Mix´s last blog ..Make You Happy
Oh, I would probably choose figure skating. I always wanted to be a figure skater . . . but I am so clumsy on ice it’s scary! But if I were good at it, that’s what I’d do!
Jessica H´s last blog ..TTGI – #6
That’s very funny because that exact question was asked last night when my family was watching figure skating. Lol
We all had a tough time deciding too! Although I’m going to say my answer is the one where you ski off and glide through the air like your flying (I LOVE watching that event).
I can’t remember what it’s called, but it would be so FUN!
Kayla´s last blog ..Blah
I would love to be an ice skater…. I would even like to be a marginal ice skater. =) have a great weekend.
Kelley´s last blog ..Aloha Friday
I would definitely love to be snowboarding!!! I love it now, but it would be even greater if I’m really good at it doing tricks and everything!
Angela´s last blog ..Training Our Blessings
There is NO sport in the winter Olympics that I would want to participate in… I just HATE the cold!
