I won't be watching.
Now, if they had something like the "Elemental Games", I might be tempted.
1. Fire Event : Have to navigate a maze filled with hidden booby traps that gout out flames, accompanied by Rammstein singing "Feuer Frei".
2. Earth Event : Some giant ziggurat, full of rolling boulders, spiked pits, snakes of course.
3. Water Event : Swimming pool with sharks and stuff. Have to use various materials to construct a way across.
4.Air Event : Chasm that needs traversing, again using various materials.
If anyone was stupid enough to try any of these, the least I could do is appreciate their efforts !

Daniel Albrecht 3 weeks in a Coma and this was just a training run, the way the cheers turn to to silence says it all.

It's not on iPlayer but is repeated on Sat 13:00 BBC1, I highly recommend it if you want to get into the mindset of a downhill skier, it certainly made me think about skiing within my limits next time I feel like trying to emulate Franz Klammer.

Shorttrack skating; always ends in mass crashes
Ski jump; real idiots this lot, but when it goes wrong it isn’t funny at all
