Israel's Olympic Skier

Omri's last game was a real clunker, he only scored 3 points. So I needed a breath of fresh air. I decided to share a great article that I read article in Ha'aretz Online about Mikail Renzhin.

You don't know who Mikail Renzhin is? Well you should. He is only the greatest Israeli skier on the planet. And he is representing Israel in the Slalom and Giant Slalom at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

Israel is blessed with many beautiful sights and wonderful outdoor activities. Skiing, is not one of them. So Mikail must spend most of his time outside of Israel, in order to maintain his Olympic level of skiing prowess. But he will be draped in the Israeli flag in Vancouver and that is what matters.

Go get 'em Mikail. We're rooting for you!
