Brian Olsen’s World beyond sport….
If I could meet anyone in the world, it would be:
Lance Armstrong—to ask him what drives him
If I were not a fulltime athlete, I would be:
adventuring around the world and writing about my travels
My favorite websites are: BBC News and Wikipedia
When traveling, I never leave home without:
I am always traveling, but always take my laptop
People would be surprised to know:
that I make my own rifle stocks—the latest from a beautiful piece of mahogany
My favorite meal is:
wild game, garlic mashed potatoes and perfectly cooked broccoli
