Hurtling yourself down a block of ice head first? I reckon so.

Anna Fenninger (Austria) - Women's super-G
It's gold for 24-year-old Anna Fenninger. The Austrian also competed in Vancouver four years ago, with her best finish being 16th. But now she can celebrate as she wins the women's super-G event.
Germany's Maria Hoefl-Riesch wins her second medal of the Games as she collects a silver to go with her gold that she won in the super-combined.
Austria win gold and bronze, with Nicole Hosp coming third. Britain's Chemmy Alcott comes 23rd. A total of 18 competitors failed to complete the course.
And Christie tumbles out from the 1,500 heats.
Gold medal
Sweden (cross-country skiing, women's relay 4x5km)
Victory for Sweden. Charlotte Kalla brings her country back from a distant third to steal the gold medal in one of the tightest finishes in the history of the event. Defending champions Norway miss out on a medal, with Finland coming second and Germany taking the bronze medal.
