Canada basketball going to the Olympics

hmmmmm. saturday night. not much happening tonight besides football and baseball. eskimos are at home to b.c. tomite. they lost in montreal last week 33-9. tonite theyre trailing b.c. 25-17 at the half. with the olympic flame going around the world heading for greece, here's a memory! two of them, actually, from the 1988 winter olympics. the first - eddie "the eagle" edwards from great britain. great britain isn't known for ski jumping. so here is edwards, figuring he had nothing to lose, gave it a shot. he never won a medal, but him just going to the olympics to try is worth something. the other memory is the jamaican bobsled team. this is a true story made into a movie. jamaica is definitely not noted for snow. after immense training and getting used to the rather cold weather (none of them had experienced such weather. imagine how they felt). their first run - not great. their second run - fantastic. moved up to 8th (i think). their third run was going great until they ended up on their side. after coming to a stop and getting their bearings straight, they got out of their sled and carried it across the finish line. they were that close after their scary ride ended. the best memory from that time anyways.
