Say what you will but these Winter Olympic athletes are badass. As Seth Meyers says its 48 different ways of sliding but you gotta have serious strength to control that sliding. Much of what you see is people versus elements and that is a whole new element to the competition. I’d like to see Tom Brady or Lebron James go cross-country skiing or do snowboarding. This is a tough set of games and you have to be up to the weather and physical challenge day in and day out. This isn’t for the weak at heart.
