The discussion here got me thinking.

https://www.newschoolers.com/readnews/44377.0/Sochi--Russia-feb-6

I want to see a photo of Henrik with the Jamacian bobsled team. This would make my Olympics experience complete.

According to wikipedia-The team (consisting of Devon Harris, Dudley Stokes, Michael White, and last minute replacement Nelson Stokes) debuted at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta. There they quickly became a fan favorite largely because of their status position as the ultimate 'underdog' story of the games. Not only was there the novelty of having a tropical country compete in a cold-weather sport, but they had very little practice going down a bobsled track before, and they borrowed spare sleds from other countries to compete. In a show of worldly brotherhood, other bobsledders were quick to give them guidance and support. They did not officially finish after losing control of the sled and crashing during one of their four runs. However, they showed significant improvement throughout the games and impressed observers with some fast starts.[1]

I mean that's like Harlaut borrowing Shawn White's pants

for those of you that didn't know. They are partly financed by dogecoin.

"Having qualified for the 2014 Sochi Olympics, but lacking funding, the cryptocurrency Dogecoin community raised on the team's behalf $30,000 of the approximately $40,000 required within two days.[5][6] An additional $80,000 was raised in online donations through Crowdtilt before 21 January.[7] As of 15:50, 21 January 2014 (UTC), the campaign had raised $121,160 far surpassing the target of only $80,000.[8]"

"I was a little bit too nervous to go up and ask if i could have a photo with them so i took a sneaky photo of one of their guys! Tomorrow i hopefully will be brave enough to ask them! lol"

haha, that has actually already happened! I don't know how to embed from instagram though.

http://instagram.com/p/j9na6iIukT/ Here is the link, and since it isn't embedded no one will notice it.
