You know, fresh air, try it once :) And nothing beats watching 2xCART,V8
supercars ( :P ) and Le Mans while also putting a trip to austria skiing in
middle in the course of 8 months.

pfffffttt.  Bjorn Dahlie is the best athlete in the history of the
Olympics!!!!  The guy had a VO2 max of over 90 as some people say.  To say a
Rally driver is superior is like, *** ;)

Fresh air, I've heard about it, but as with most other thing not related
to motorsports and/or computers, I've dismissed it as a passing fad

But his buddy and multiple olympic gold medalist Thomas Alsgaard does
rally, and praised Solberg through the roof on norwegian tv this summer.

No, but Gunde Svan crushed the opposition in his day on the nordic circuit,
had lungs the size of Russia, was about 2.5 metres tall (seemingly) and
looked rather like Thor the thunder guard.  He also drove an incredibly mean
looking yellow Ruf Porsche, usually sideways.

Now, here's a stretch, but I would say that nordic skiing is alot like auto
racing, in that you have to be there at least once to appreciate it, and you
need to pick the right spot.  Watching the skiers (or drivers) zip past on
the straightaway is dull as nails, and the television coverage always just
shows Dahlie (or Schumacher) disappearing into the distance.  Now, stand on
the outside of a ***, icy, tree-lined, off-camber downhill blind corner
(also appropriate for brainless rally fans :-) and watch the fun as the
skiers, still oxygen-starved and groggy from the previous uphill, try to
keep it together at 70kph on two skinny little 3cm skies.  Fun fun fun!

I know, most world/olympic class athletes are good because they're
determined to be the best they can be, not necessarily because they are
predispositioned for being good at that particular event, although some
physical attributes are necessary in many sports, so it's not surprising
that some of them does well in other forms of sports as well
