Ok i get to show off a little because i love the winter olympics. they had the Olympics in Lake Placid New York in 1932 and in 1980. In both years the US men won the Olympic gold, never happened other than then.
Lake Placid still is a small sleepy New England town but since it has the facilities (skating) , bobsled track (bobsled,luge and skeleton) and ski jumping it became an US Olympic training facility. the other US Olympic training facility is out in Utah. In Canada the training facility is outside Calgary since they hosted the Olympics in 1988.
No 'gators up in these lakes. but an interesting image nonethe less.
I do like women's athletics a lot. i even got to meet Mia Hamm once (see below). I root for US woman's hockey, soccer an basketball because they all have a lot of class. The men's dream teams i am less thrilled with.
ok my favorite woman's athletics commercial old but still great.
