"Where do you dream up this sh*t Y.J. Have you looked at a map of Greece? You'll notice it's just north east a few miles from the Sahara Desert. What winter sports do you think they would have in Greece? Maybe they could have stone boat races.......:lol::lol:"

That is exactly my point, JLM. The ancient Greeks never had Winter Olympics. There were never any Winter Olympics until some people/nations who could not win/produce anything in the Summer Olympic Games came up with the idea of Winter Olympics.

I am sure that if it had been the ancient Lapps or Vikings to create the first Olympic Games, it would have included sports persued in the Northern climate.

Also sure that the people/nations who could not have won anything there, would have invented the Summer Olympics.

the only dangerous sport I can think of in summer games
is equestrian, everything else is pretty woosie.

Hey Talloola slow down with your ignorant remarks,:roll::roll::roll:

woosie? what an ignorant remark that is, what have you done in your life worth of global notoriety?
knock a 2500 year tradition ?
you are not able in mind or body to put down the Ancient Greeks, woosie????????? please...............................:roll:

The 80 d summer heat athletes have to endure it is completely deferent from an athlete competing in colder conditions.

the summer Olympic games are what they are because of special people that you will never be able to mach in stamina or determination.

Please don’t sit here thinking that the winter Olympics were invented by Canada,
they were not!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be a friend and inclusive, to this great heritage. To be a snob it wont get you any points of notariety.
Trust me on that one...........Canada is a great country, so act like a great Canadian.

Woosie………………. My god you sure make people wander with remarks like that………..:roll::roll::roll:

You're the one who's being ignorant here, A$$HOLE.

Hey GLM good day to you, good to see how your brain sees things too on world sport history.

If some one said that Canada will never be a Gold contender in the Winter Olympics like the US or China, your nose will not only go out off joint it will fall on the floor.

You are just as ignorant to sit and denigrate the mother of these majestic games.

It makes you look uneducated, when you agree with stupid statements like the summer Olympics are WOOSIE.
With that mentality you will never understand a 2500 history that helped humanity.

I love Canada and I have devoted my life in the past 45 years in this beautiful country to be a productive Canadian, and I have.

But it is over the top for you and others like you, you know who, to compare with 3 Olympic games Canada has had in the past 100 years, with 2500 year history of sports excellence that brought millions of sport lovers together.

What do you know about the sports events that made the Summer Olympics what they are.....?
The Brits in Europe did the same thing, steel archaeological artefacts from Greece credit of the Greeks, put them in their museums in England and called them their own. Shame ........................

It doesn’t help when you see life in such a dull manner. As for your name calling that is your opinion, and like they say it takes one to know one.:p:p:p

compared to names I've read on this forum over the past
few years, woosie is so mild and innocent, you are being
silly.
I don't live in ancient greece, I live in todays canada,
and the winter olympics are a tough bunch of sports, and
only the strong and brave endure.
This is a light hearted subject, not so serious please.

I enjoyed watching the fellow who won our 4th gold yesterday, he has a great personality, and is an
auctioneer, and demonstrated his ability in that field
while being interviewed.
He had a great slide to win, and had to wait for the last
competitor to finish before he knew he had won.

congratulations to him, and whistlers first gold medal
presentation.

Hey Talloola, don't forget he's from Manitoba too! That great personality is a common thing back there. (Did I mention I'm orginally from Manitoba?) :lol:

Also, our dancing couple are sitting in second place after
the short dance, two more to go, the reining world champion
russian couple are leading, and there were other dancers
including our canadians who were better than they, and that
is the opinion of others, not just me.

The 'other' russian dancers looked much better on the ice
than the first place couple.

Sane people do not spin out crap to make them selves feel superior, or hijack other cultures history or other peoples ideas. :roll:
Sane people understand the perimeters of friendliness over dull and demeaning commentary, like “they are WOOSIE “
There is Nothing innocent about that, not funny, just down and out disrespectful!!!!!!

and as for you JLM, what’s a full deck to you? , calling others assholes, when in fact both of you are dead wrong, on your demeanour towards friendliness of sport history from another country?. You want everyone to say nice things about you while you sh!t on them...........THATS NOTHING BUT CRAP

Sane people around the world who see this interaction, on this subject, knows that my deck is complete, while yours, lacks understanding and inclusiveness of unforgettable WORLD sport history. :p
