I like the Sochi website, because it tells you some quick fun facts at the bottom of the site. He only started in 2010??? Gives me hope, maybe if I start now i can go to the 2018 winter olympics! Lol. The video was also really cool (although I'm not gonna lie, I just skipped ahead to the action).

One major thing that I liked about your whole biography of Jeremie Boutherin was the video, I didn't think it took all that exercising to do bobsleighing. But I guess the thing is really heavy especially if you have people in it.
