Jordan Posted 20 February 2010 Posted 20 February 2010 Was very convicing and she sounds like a really down to earth person who haas lived her dream.Shame the US and Canada team had to be bad losers but guess its not everyday they get beaten by a Brit in the Winter Olympics! First solo gold in 30 years... Not sure what's up with that; it looks the same shape as any other skeleton helmet Good job to Ms. Williams; me, I'm still on a high from our first curling wins yesterday to complain about skeleton helmets!
The Doctor Posted 20 February 2010 Posted 20 February 2010 In luge you go down the run on your back, feet first. Skeleton is on your front, head first. Luge is feet first, skeleton is head first. cheers. Either way they're completely insane, going down the run at 70+ mph on a tea-tray?!
Lillehamring Posted 20 February 2010 Posted 20 February 2010 can't help but expect some more medals in the men's cross country again tonight, but a very poor show in the ski jump... down to the wire in the suisse v norge retro-jersey-woodenspoonathon
Wycombe Fox Posted 21 February 2010 Posted 21 February 2010 Men's Ski Cross qualifying at 5.15pm tonight. Looking forward to this.
Jordan Posted 21 February 2010 Posted 21 February 2010 This is easily one of the best days of hockey in the history of the sport; the six best international teams are all playing on the same day (well, the same day in the Pacific time zone anyway ) 12 pm Vancouver time: Russia vs. Czech Republic -Rematch of the 1998 gold medal game 4:30pm: Canada vs. United States -Rematch of the 2002 gold medal game 9 pm: Sweden vs. Finland -Rematch of the 2006 gold medal game I'm in hockey heaven. All of Canada will be shut down during the CAN-USA game tonight, and I hope all of Canada will be shut up afterwards!
Stuliasz Posted 21 February 2010 Posted 21 February 2010 Ski-cross = best event of the Olympics so far. Brilliant entertainment.
Fox You Forest Posted 22 February 2010 Posted 22 February 2010 The British women in the crowd at the curling arena giving it some.
Fosse Boy Posted 22 February 2010 Posted 22 February 2010 The British women in the crowd at the curling arena giving it some. DAVIE MURDOCH'S BARMY ARMY!!! That team (or sport for that matter) couldn't be less barmy if they tried.
Fox You Forest Posted 22 February 2010 Posted 22 February 2010 I thought this was going to be live? I think it is now, never know with the BBC.
General Smuts Posted 22 February 2010 Posted 22 February 2010 I think it is now, never know with the BBC. Iwas expecting it to be as well. Left the bedroom where we only have freeview and the missus is sleeping. Turned on the sky in the living room and its on the red button. Ridiculous shambles by the beeb.
Fosse Boy Posted 22 February 2010 Posted 22 February 2010 That looked like Huuuuuuuuume on the Canadian bench just then.
shen Posted 22 February 2010 Posted 22 February 2010 What a fantastic goal by Kesler to seal the shock of the tourno!
Lillehamring Posted 22 February 2010 Posted 22 February 2010 catastrophic day yesterday for norway - crap in the ski jump, crap in the biathlon, svindal cocked up the combi and the curlers lost to sweden - following on from losing against the swiss in OT, and petter northug having his ski pole sabotaged by the swede who went on to win gold... although nice to sneak a bronze in the ski cross and speed skating... hoping for better in the team events today.
StanSP Posted 22 February 2010 Posted 22 February 2010 Sunday Anything worth staying up for tonight??
Lillehamring Posted 22 February 2010 Posted 22 February 2010 fabulous cross country final - amazing athleticism from Northug... awesome and well deserved gold.
MC Prussian Posted 22 February 2010 Posted 22 February 2010 Curling. Japan vs. Switzerland. Mmm mmm mmmhh...
Fox You Forest Posted 22 February 2010 Posted 22 February 2010 Curling.Japan vs. Switzerland. Mmm mmm mmmhh... Men or Women? Gutted I'm not going to get to see the Russian team again.
Jordan Posted 22 February 2010 Posted 22 February 2010 Well, Canada beat the US men 7-2 in curling today; I suppose that cancels out that hockey game yesterday (I\'m still on a high from that one, btw) Gutted I\'m not going to get to see the Russian team again. This one's for you, FYF: edit: wait...
