Artist Q&A:

Q: Which Olympic sport rocks the most?
A: Hockey!

Q: Which Olympic sport would you like to compete in, and why?

Artist Q&A:

Q: Which Olympic Games sport rocks the most?
A: I am a big fan of snowboarding! Can't do it myself - I just stick to watching it.

Q: Which Olympic Games sport would you like to compete in and why?
A: I'd like to compete in the Bobsleigh events. I saw Disney's CoolRunnings and it won me over! This movie is super funny, but is also historic since its based on a Jamaican bobsledding team that showed there stuff in the '88 Canadian winter games.

Q: What is your favourite all-time Olympic Games memory?
A: One of my favourite Olympic moments would be back in '96 when Kerri Strug for women's gymnastics injured her ankle while on her first vault. I was only about 10 years old but in my eyes she was super pro and inspiring when she decided she would give it another go. Because of her decision to keep going, she won gold for the United States.

Artist Q&A:

Q: Which Olympic sport rocks the most?
A: We're all pretty huge Olympic Hockey fans, but one of the most exciting Olympic sports I've had the pleasure of watching live is Short Track Speed Skating. So fast, and exciting.

Q: Which Olympic sport would you like to compete in, and why?
A: Is Cheeseburger Consumption an Olympic sport?? If not, then I would have to go with Biathalon... The mixture of Skiing, and Firing a weapon is oddly mesmerizing.

Q: What is your favourite all-time Olympic Games memory?
A: Hands down, the Salle and Pelletier, Salt Lake City debacle. They were so gracious, and inspiring throughout the whole ordeal.
