I was thinking sport but they said you have to know how to ski in that one… and if that excludes snowboarding, then I don’t want any part. Ceremonies I would think would be good but may also involve you missing all the good stuff.

yeh true, but i will cross that bridge if i ever come to it!

True… though it would be mad if we all got to do a similar job smile

Very true, I have found with volunteer work is that they may assign you one job but then you end up doing something completely different and random by the end of your time!

oh this is sick! My supervisor at work has worked for CBS at the Albertville/Meribel, France, lillehammer, Norway and Nagano, Japan winter Olympics. I’m super jealous of her! Will definitely be trying to get some lowly research job or something there :D

I’m really keen to go. If they said I was in, I would skip the snow totally next year and save all my leave to go to Russia!

I’ll have to start my training by drinking that bottle of grey goose soon smile

Funny how it’s a test for English grammar, reading, writing etc when they can’t even spell the word ‘enrolment’ right in the web link! wink

 

The web link? “enrollment” is the correct spelling…
