WRITTEN OPTION 2

Jaromir Jagrbomb was always more interested in winter sports, as where he grew up proper winters were just as long as the summers. As a kid he did actively train for example bandy, ski jumping and downhill skating. Bandy was an obvious side sport with hockey, as both are ice sports and require mostly the same set of skills: stickhandling, speed and agility. Ski jumping was a less serious hobby, and it began with Jaromir just marveling at the jumpers' ability to basically fly hundreds of meters in full control and land safely. Jaromir quit this quite young, as he simply didn't have the courage to take on the bigger hills. Downhill skating was and maybe still is more entertainment than sport, but Jaromir really enjoyed it as it's so fast-paced, dangerous and requires fast thinking, physicality and strategizing. Both bandy and downhill skating were sports Jaromir probably could have become one of the best athletes in the sport history, but he dropped both as a youngster since the money involved in those sports was nothing compared to hockey.
