Who said video games made you lazy and fat (we at Gamereactor are not fat, only lazy)? According to EVE Online player Imperian, a member of his corporation won silver medal in giant slalom in the Olympics in Vancouver. The person in question is Kjetil Jansrud, and we at Gamereactor are very impressed that he has managed to find the time to both play EVE and do sports at the same time (especially in a corp like Morsus Mihi, who can't be accused of being a "casual" corporation).

As fellow game journo/PR representative Daniel Griliopoulos said on Twitter - "Amazing what you can learn slaloming rats in 0.0". If you don't understand the joke, get off my Internet.

"Wonder how much I can get for the medal in Jita."
