Best Winter Olympic sport for me?

Ya gotta sweep like hell, man.

Seems like all your possibilities are in, or near the tropics. There must be some logic in choosing places like that to train for winter sports.

theres no beverage tax?

That could be, but exactly which winter sport are we talking about?

How will moving to the tropics assist you in becoming a winter Olympian?

Well, if I can start a team there and I can start on the team, then we can have a good chance to go to the Olympics if we train hard and know what we are doing.

Curling. The greatest show on earth!

So you think I should move to a tropical island in order to get the best chance to go to the olympics?

That's not necessarily how it works. You're likely going to need big bucks (funding) to build a training facility, buy the appropriate sports equipment, fund support staff, fund a campaign to recruit world class athletes in your country of choice, etc....

many Canadian curling associations ARE SPONSORED BY BEER COMPANIES OR EVEN BARS

Aight. I will try cinder blocks. If nothing else, it will help with my strength. And do you suggest any beer? Maybe your favorite beer?
And there are big leagues for curling? Lol

Ok. So you're saying that if I move to barbados then I will do good for a long time. But then I will hurt my arm and have to retire?

I believe that many of the US teams have corporate sponsors as well. But this guy isn't going to get corporate sponsors with a fly by night team with no experience whatsoever in said sport he'll have to choose and have never tried before. He's not going to get hundreds of thousands of dollars or more without professional team management/supervision. Corporate sponsors aren't just going to hand a nobody big bucks without proof that it's going to just be turned into beer money or wasted on a low/no profile team.

This hypothetical team still hasn't even proven they're can be a team on the field let alone capable of qualifying for the Olympics. Just because a country has a given team doesn't mean they automatically earn a spot in the Olympics. They still have to pass tryouts, no?

No corporate sponsors are just going to give big bucks unless there's a potential for winning a medal thusly their sponsorship will be noticed by their respective marketing audience.

That's the spirit. Id look for a career of curling in the amateur circuit. Then Id get drafted with a huge pro contract in the national Curling League. Id get some underwritings from shoes or swiffers or beer.
The beer should be entirely pwrsonal.

Vit Jablonski , the "great" Vit Jablonski used to drink only Iron City cause he liked the headaches he got from that beer.
Don't get too fru fru a beer (like Dogfish Head or Anchor Steam) too mny yuppies and hipters drink that **** and they don't understand the PAIN AND SACRIFICE GREAT CURLERS MUST SUFFER

Wonder how many Curling facilities, skating rinks, and luge runs there actually are in the Carribean? I'm going to take stab and say NONE.

Curling can be set up on an indoor patio. All you need are some chillers and a BAR

Haha you're really big on all the bars and beer aren't you lol?

There doesn't have to be one there. I could start one or I could play curling on the sand. That would be hard though. So what country do you suggest I represent and play for?

Yeah. Yeah, I forgot about all that beautiful sand to curl upon. Take a good sun protection cream and keep hanging in there.

Thanks for a neat thread.

Aight I will try. And your welcome for the neat thread. Maybe I should try one for summer olympics too.

For summer Olympics, I suggest you focus on the iambic pentameter.
