intoronto reacted to hckošice in [POLL] Which are your 3 Top Favorite Winter Olympic Sports? (2018 version)
First pick is a izzy one, I guess just because it´s the best sport ! Long live to Canada for the best invention in the history of humanity : Ice Hockey !!!
For my number 2 Ski Jumping, because I love this sport since my childhood and I´m very sad this fabulous sport is dead in SVK for a long while now for my 3rd place it was a internal battle between Alpine Skiing, Biathlon and Nordic Combined, I chose NC because it's a beautiful and extremely demanding sport that does not deserve to end without a point in any poll
but yeah, if I could, I would choose all 15. Winter Sports all the way !

Peru chose Basque pelota and bodybuilding. However, surfing was their primary choice, but that was auto added because of its addition to Tokyo 2020.
Canada didn't choose a sport in 2015, but rather a event (women's baseball), which has been dropped from Lima 2019.

Water skiing is actually a cool sport, I got to experience it live in 2015 at the Pan American Games. Canada usually does well as well, so that doesn't hurt
For 2019, women will compete in wakeboarding for the first time.
As for bodybuilding it is only 2 events (one men and one women, 16 athletes each). Nothing like in the Asian Games where they had 10 weight categories.

intoronto reacted to orangeman in Canada National Thread
Hey there Canada (esp. intoronto)!
I've been in China which basically blocks everything. Long story, but I should finally have access to this place, just in time for the lead up to the Olympics.
I used to live in South Korea, so disappointed that I will miss this one. Tried to make it work, but the tickets and accommodations were just way too expensive. I could have stayed in Seoul, but that's missing the point. I was going to drop by the final weekend, but it didn't work out.
Instead I'll be on a beach in Thailand watching instead. Tough life, I know. Just excited I can finally come here and elsewhere (CBC was also blocked).

Hayley Wickenheiser, greatest women's hockey player ever, perhaps? 4 time Olympic gold medalist and one time silver medalist.

Mark said just now that he had bad experiences with wax stores and needs a team to travel with. I asked Manikala‘s manager, he said he could help out... This will be interesting!
Else the skier from Costa Rica told me he might try Alpine skiing for 2022. And I was talking to a skier from Venezuela but he tried to hit on me (yes, in that way ). That got awkward really fast. The end.

From another Isafjordur race page:
http://www.fossavatn.com/en
“Our partner Craft Sport offers waxing services at their store, where you can leave your skis and have them done for you. The guesthouses usually try to provide some facilities for their guests who want to wax their skis themselves. There are waxing facilities at the parking behind Hotel Isafjordur, Silfurtorgi 2 where skiers can wax their own skis. You have to bring your own stuff though.”

An update on he is planning on racing in Iceland, but does not have access to wax facilities. Does anyone know any clubs that can help him out or any suggestions for him?

Some good news: will compete! The Puerto Rico Olympic Committee has given the winter sports federation a 6 month approval of membership, which will allow Charles Flaherty to compete in alpine skiing.

Gee, I wonder why Becky Scott might be suspicious of Russian athletes when it comes to doping...
