1) Did you win the fastest serve tournament?
2) I still didn't get it - why are they so bad in summer sports? You promised an answer...

1) Sure, I did. If we disregard those 86 (or were there 186) participants that were better than myself :-)

2)They don't have to work hard to live well. Not in sports, anyway. They do therefore relax and enjoy their recreational activities instead of punishing themselves in a pursuit of a professional success.
Ice, on the other hand, is their natural element - so they are quite happy to try much more while on it.

Not sure that answers it. Canadians have professional athletes in summer sports too - and they push themselves hard. Just not hard enough I guess...

Well, Ben Johnson pushed himself too hard. ;-)
