Mr. Kline

For the Ski Jumping we combined two different sports, long jumping and gymnastics.  The kids tried to run and jump as far as they could with the understanding that when they landed they couldn’t move or shuffle their feet, they had to stick the landing just like in gymnastics.

The bobsled was one of my favorite events to watch and for the kids it was the most exciting.  We combined two Olympic events, the bobsled and the speed skating team pursuit.  Two Countries lined up with three teammates on three individual scooters and the rest of the team pushing.  One Country started first with a 10 second head start.  The other Country chased and tried to catchup to make a pass.  After one lap the ‘Change’ needed to be made where three new riders needed to switch with the three riders of the first lap.  This is where the race was won or lost.
