### 3/5 — Ganz nett aber

*2018-03-06*

mir fehlen Disziplinen die es im Original von damals gegeben hat. Beispielsweise Eiskunstlaufen. Wenn das noch gefixt wird gibt es 5 Sterne.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Perfect

*2018-02-27*

Like most everyone I struggle with the speed skating but I found a real good trick that helps me win it more often. Even earned a silver medal! Ski jump is the one that really kills me.

*2017-01-01*
