The idea of skiing with a gun on your back just seems like bad combo

The safety is always on so it can't fire accidentally. Watch when they come to the firing line- the first thing they do after unslinging the rifle off of their backs is to flip the safety off.

That makes me feel a lot better! Thanks for explaining that!

ABC's version of Bugler's Dream last used in 1988.



NBC got the contract and John Williams redid it.

Who remembers CBS' Olympic theme? - I really liked it


Now I do! I love theme music and musical scores from movies and TV shows.

The opening to Miracle is one of my favorites.

I'm fascinated by how they lay down while still wearing skis. :laugh:

I think my earliest Olympic memories include Tommy Moe winning the DH in Lillehammer as well as Nancy Kerrigan getting the silver

Oh man does that bring back memories! Me and my brother in law would run around the old warehouse where we used to work doing Curly voices yelling “Tommy Moe, Tommy Moe whoo whoo whoo”

Yeah, we were a bit soft in the head
