Default Albert's Life in Sports No. 1 Bob sledding

Albert said he stopped counting how many sports he participated in after 15. I thought it might be fun to see how many different photo's we can locate of him having fun himself in one of men's favorite past times sports. I have several to share thought I would open with the Olypmics photo's where he was carrying the flag for Monaco during the opening ceremony at Lillehammer 1994.

Albert has competed in many other sports over the years. Speed boats, bike racing, soccer, golf, Paris Daker race I've seen photo's on. Here is one of your area's guys sports lets get a little competion to find the rarest photo's or even a video of Albert doing what he loves so much. He trained in javelin at Amherst, was on the track team, hand-ball, Judo black-belt, academic champion in swimming, tennis, sailing, skiing, squash, fencing, rowing, fencing, are amongst the many sports he enjoys. He also won medals I know photo's of those can be found as well. Snowball fights and sleding as a child will also count.

Happy surfing thats a sport also.

A rare photo. Caption translated from German. Prince Albert of Monaco recovers in the goal from an area run on 15 December 1972 in Monaco. The sporty prince reached on the two kilometers is enough for distance the 16. Place in a field of approximately 200 participants. 1972 would make him 14. Fotomarktplatz
