Actor Jennifer Garner shared her submission to be part of Team USA and the Winter Olympics with her own unique winter sport, to the delight of fans.

The Summer and Winter Olympics are already pretty great, but Jennifer Garner believes the Winter Olympics could use one more sport to make it perfect.

While passing through Central Park, Jennifer Garner came across a group of women who were sledding down a shallow hill on none other than small, silver baking sheets.


Garner decided to put a special spin on the moment by submitting a new sports concept to the Winter Olympics: Baking Sheet Sledding.

The 13 Going on 30 star held up a baking sheet and proudly said:

"This is my submission for 2026 Team USA."
"Baking sheets come in handy anywhere!"

She then demonstrated by sitting down on the baking sheet at the top of the hill and starting a surprisingly quick descent. The women around her were cheering, and then she spun out, ending up with her legs straight up in the air, the baking sheet coming out from under her, and Garner issuing her iconic laugh.

She then sat up on her knees, proudly throwing her arms up in the air as the women in the background continued to cheer.

You can watch Garner's proposal here:

Especially with everything going on in the world right now, it's refreshing to see someone look for the special moments in life and really celebrate laughter and fun.

Fans appreciated Garner's commitment to enjoying life.

Some recalled their own attempts at sledding with household items. Not all of these options are the safest, technically, but the point really is to ride on something that you can stay on and that will improve your speed. Sometimes, tumbling off and laughing about it later is the best part of the memory!

What's so fun about this is that, in theory, it would be a more accessible and universal form of tobogganing. Imagine professionals taking the simple concept of sledding down a hill and really finessing it for the Winter Olympic Games!

People really got on board with the new Winter Olympics concept.

This won't ever make it to the Olympics, but it's a great reminder to go out and find the fun wherever we can, especially when it's something that can bring us all together, like the Olympics does for so many.

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

Bald Men Are Up In Arms Over Viral Chart That Predicts Political Affiliation Based On A Man's Haircut

Can a man's haircut tell you his political affiliation? Scientifically, of course not... but we probably all have a gut feeling about it, regardless!

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
