@gmarkj 

I only knew that as my son and granddaughter went on Skiing holidays with their respective schools. My son showed me what schussing was....and my granddaughter showed me exactly the same (30 years later). 😂

[RafaC]

Same here @gmarkj, wasn't hoping for much and rightly so. 
Only knew about skiing because one of my mates is an avid skier and when they told me about "egg position" that stuck on my mind 😆 

[pgn]

Table tennis, well that curled my brain and, despite ping-ponging around the cranium, failed to serve any spin whatsoever. Tricky one, @Mi-Amigo! Good one, well done all.

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @gmarkj @MI5 @RafaC @Cleoriff @pgn
