Well, the first race is over… officially. nbsp;I wasn’t nearly as nervous as I could have been…after all, it was the Olympics. nbsp;Just the world’s best skiers!!!! nbsp;In the Canmore World Cup I remember the announcer saying, “this will be live for 100 million viewers overseas” nbsp;Well, there are probably even more viewers for the “big show.” nbsp;Oh well – my motto was, smile at the start camera and ski as hard as I could. The “secret” if there is one is that this was just another ski race.br /br /(Bynbsp;thenbsp;way….nbsp;Inbsp;cannotnbsp;officiallynbsp;postnbsp;anynbsp;picturesnbsp;ofnbsp;thenbsp;skinbsp;racenbsp;itselfnbsp;-nbsp;eithernbsp;ofnbsp;myselfnbsp;ornbsp;anyonenbsp;else.nbsp;Therenbsp;isnbsp;anbsp;rulenbsp;tonbsp;protectnbsp;NBC’snbsp;sponsorshipnbsp;ofnbsp;thenbsp;event.nbsp;While it initially sounds like a bummer, it’s important to protect sponsor’s rights because they make the Olympics happen!)br /br /div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”
