Uphill skiing.
Team snowball fight.

Actually, now that I think about it the best part of the Canadian coverage was when they replayed the entire race, but split the screen showing the race on one side, and Marriane's reactions on the other side.

I feel the need…

Damn, getting circumcised in high-school couldn't have been fun.

They were replaced by machines.

The N-Word?

Outside of the context of the movie, I would never have been able to tell it was Australian, though truthfully, it didn't bother me at all.
