That is beautiful and seems like it would be an enormous rush.
I would love to try it, but not a great stopper on skis; would probably end up broken to pieces in a tree a mile away. I'll stick to roller coasters.
Regarding the OP, if I was really into the Olympics and wanted to go, I'd go despite the terrorist threats and the nonsensical laws against gays. I'd go to support the athletes and figure I probably have as much chance of unexpectedly getting hit by a bus or drunk driver here as I would getting intentionally hurt there if I was being cautious.
Putin has invested so much money into Sochi in hopes that the global exposure of hosting the games will transform it into an international tourist mecca. I think the security around the arena and event sites themselves will be very tight. But, I don't know if he's gonna be able to pull off creating the image that he wants to sell given all of the turmoil and challenges just outside of Sochi.
Anyway, I'm curious to see how it goes down and will probably watch some of the coverage.
