With approximately 6 months to go before the Winter Olympics begin, this summer is proving to be a busy one for all of the athletes vying for one of the 240+ spots on the US team. Many are continuning their preparation indoors (e.g., hockey, ice skating, speed skating). For those who participate in the outdoor events (skiing, bobsledding, ski jumping,etc.), many are practicing on outdoor variations of their event. For example, the Freestyle skiers and the ski jumpers actually land in water pools, and the sledders practice (in some cases) on artificial sled runs. Lastly, some are keeping in strong physical shape via extensive conditioning and alternative sports (cycling) at some of the U.S. Olympic Training Centers.
