Arctic Winter Games (Only A Game - WBUR/NPR)
From WBUR-NPR:
Only A Game
March 16, 2008
The idea for the Arctic Winter Games began in 1967, when some plucky Canadians noticed that athletes from north of the arctic circle were having trouble competing against their counterparts from relatively tropical sites further south in Canada. This week, more than 2000 athletes, coaches, officials, and cultural performers returned to Yellowknife to compete in everything from basketball and curling, to the traditional game of finger pulling. Bill Littlefield speaks with Cathie Bolstad, President of the 2008 Host Society.
