What a show
on ice and snow,
the world's best
at Nagano.
Claudia and
Gunda
under seven,
silver and gold,
speed skater's heaven.
Hermann
Maier
flipped high in the air,
shed his skis he lost the pair.
Not wounded
he,
proved he was bold
got right up
and captured gold.
Lutz and
loop and
camel spin,
with
Tara Lipinski's infectious grin.
Moguls and skis,
and bouncing
knees.
Terrific
show at
Nagano,
the world's best
on ice,
on snow.
Written while I watched the 1998
Winter Olympics
broadcast from Nagano, Japan.
