Thankfully for everyone involved, the Winter Olympics officials spotted me and managed to stop me before I got to the ski jump.

Something like this would make for an amazing Olympics-related TV series. Take 2 well known recently retired athletes, one male and one female. Say something like Roger Federer and Megan Rapinoe. Have them spend a few hours with an Olympic Athelete trying to learn their sport, and then show off what they can do for the camera.

You'd know just how coordinated and talented these athletes are, and then you'd see just how awful they were at these sports. It would really make you appreciate the skill of the Olympians.
