Looking cool while sliding down a snowy hill with a cup of coffee isn’t an Olympic sport, but it should be

It’s winter time, and when it’s cold, everything feels miserable, especially in the mornings. Not for Norway’s Trym Nordgaard, though. This is how he -- clad in a turtleneck and bathrobe, clutching a cup of coffee in one hand and a nice book in the other -- spends his mornings:

I think Nordgaard just invented a new sport for the Winter Olympics. It’s not quite skiing, skating or skateboarding, since he’s not wearing any extra gear for the ground. I guess if this was going to be a sport at the Olympics, you’d get judged in five categories:

1. How dapper you look
2. The kind of coffee you’re drinking
3. The quality of the book you’re holding
4. How cool your facial expression is as you’re sliding down the hill
5. Sliding without falling

Also, you wouldn't have to use music from the Geto Boys, but if you do use a soundtrack, at least have it be as cool as the Geto Boys -- you know, like Big Daddy Kane's "Ain't No Half-Steppin'."
