I know, me too! I totally want to take up one of these sports now. We have a local skating rink here and I'm really thinking about learning how to ice skate. But these athletes make it look so much easier than it really is, I'm sure.
It was funny because when I was 15 or 16 years old, I had taken up diving as a sport. I was so in love with it, that I had this dream of being in the Olympics one day for diving. So I remember watching the summer Olympics that year and dreaming about the day that I would be there. But then I realized pretty quickly that you have to dedicate your life to it and even then it's not a guarantee that you'll make it there.
But even though I did not stick with it, the moral of the story is that you can do anything you want to do and it's never too late to start something. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
