Is ping pong a winter or summer sport? Since it's played inside... :confused:

I'm not a big sports fan, but I've done one of the weird Olympic sports: Drunken Curling. One of the most dangerous sports there is. :hehe: Good thing you have that broom to keep you on your feet. :sweat:

Good point. I never thought about that. :doh: I liked the beach volleyball.

Found a grid with all the events Here. They have a pdf too. I'm not sure what is their time zone though. GMT +1 or +2.
