The Winter Olympics

Last Friday was Hoppo Yonto day yet despite my new year's day temple marathon, the four islands are still in hoc to the Russian rouble.
Yolked and bridled too, apparently.
It was for this very reason that Cian decided to boycott the Winter Olympics in Sochi. Instead we hosted our own inaugural Muroran Olympiad at the Tenjin-cho Saka. First up was the "Freestyle falling down" event, a performance based competition where maximum points were awarded for technique, style, and making an arse of yourself.

Next up was the pair bobsleigh on a particularly hazardous course.

Followed by the pair luge with the Irish half of the combined team utilizing a highly unorthodox breaking method.

Finally we finished with a spectacular display of virtuoso 'super sliding' with records (and self respect) being shattered across the board.
