Hi Jake,

Logical jump to conclusions, but not correct as it happens.  I was actually trying to find the names of the women on the US team, because I met someone a while back who was hoping to be on it and I was curious whether she made it.  Never found the list of team members, but I did find that blog.

I'm more into speed skating, myself.  As a wannabe, not so much an observer.  But I'm a lousy skater and afraid of falling and breaking my bones, so I don't have much future in it, alas...

But various people have told me that zambonis actually have VW engines, so there really was Vanagon content to my post!

Joy
