What in the world makes someone want to take up ski jumping? The thought of it terrifies me. But it's exciting to watch. The ski jump stadium is one of the venue where I am responsible for the retail tents.
Our first day of competition, the qualifying round, was Friday morning before the Opening Ceremony. The medal round was this morning. In fact ski jump was the first gold medal of the Games.
I'm pretty sure there weren't any Australian jumpers, but there were definately some Aussies in the crowd.
And our ski jump kiosk was busy for most of the day. Spectators bought a lot of cowbells.
