Speaking of skiing, you could play a song by Claudine Longet whose relation to sports is that she fatally shot her boyfriend, Olympic skier Vladimir "Spider" Sabich, at his Aspen, Colorado, home on 21 March 1976. No songs about sports however, except maybe the appropriate "Run Wild, Run Free".

Do american sports stars ever release cheesy pop songs? it used to be quite fashionable here, where footballers (soccer to you) would release a cheesy pop song, often a terrace anthem at their team's matches. bloody love it. Couldn't happen now though, none of the players have the sense of humor they used to.
