Your friends might think you’re obsessive because you stayed up until 3 a.m. to watch the luge finals, but you know you’re just a true red, white and blue Olympian. Celebrate the spirit of the Winter Games with these accessori di sport.
Five-ring bling
OK, it’s not quite the same as trading gold Olympic necklaces with Shaun White or Irina Slutskaya, but you can at least swap official Torino pins with your workout partner. $6.99. U.S. OLYMPIC TRAINING CENTER STORE, COLORADO SPRINGS
Toast the winners
The Piedmont region around Torino produces some of the world’s finest wines, including this officially licensed Olympics vintage: a 2004 Barbera d’Alba. $9.40. WWW.OLYMPICSTORE.IT
Hang it up, and reward yourself
Turn steel into gold by donating your used cellphone to the U.S. Special Olympics fund. Not only do Special Olympians receive an average of $9 for each recycled phone, but now you have a great reason to buy that new pink Razr. 410 17TH ST., SUITE 200, DENVER or ONLINEDONATIONCENTER.COM/SPECIALOLYMPICS/
The virtual Olympian
Celebrate your own winter games – the Couch Olympics – with Torino 2006, available in PC, PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions. High-tech graphics let you ski, bobsled, skate and luge like a real athlete, as long as you guard against those nasty thumb injuries. $19.99. BEST BUY
Stay warm and fuzzy, feel warm and fuzzy
Once a staple on the Olympic ski slopes, wool outerwear is making a comeback. Ibex’s superfine Merino wool U.S. Ski Team jersey not only keeps you warm, it naturally wicks away moisture – and it’s as soft as fleece. Even better, a portion of all sales benefits the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association. $125. IBEXWEAR.COM
