Britain Might Actually Win A Gold!
- Thread starter edgray
- Start date
I haven't been watching the Winter Olympics too much, wondering if Aussies are any good at that stuff considering it doesn't snow much here..
Is she the one that might have the helmet that breaks the rules?
Was watching it last night, it was actually the other British girl who started favorite for a medal, good stuff!:thumbup
It took Australia until 1998 to win a medal and since then the've done pretty well, got a gold and a silver already in this one. My favorite gold they won was in the speed skating a few years ago when they got through all their rounds and won gold because of everyone else crashing.:24:
yeah there's controversy about the fin shape at the rear of her helmet... complaints were lodged but the helmet has been deemed acceptable.... seems highly suspect to me: the rules are very clear that the helmet must NOT contain any aerodynamic enhancements... which the fin clearly is...
Seems a stupid rule to me in general
Surely, all Helmets should be made of lead and square shaped to obey that law? :24:
I remember that! I thought it was freaking hilarious. Everyone else was sprawled on the ice and he just coasted across the finish line. :24:
Torah Bright took gold in the womans snowboarding (half pipe?) yesterday....So we've got our first gold

You lot have to learn to swim away from those sharks:24:
Haha very funny I'm a crap swimmer, but last time I swam in a race was years ago, could be different now.
I think it's more to do with the waves here - even on a day when Bondi wasn't too bad I could still have got dunked and taken under if it wasn't for someone who kept lifting me up every time a massive wave came haha.

Well done Amy Williams. Glad the USA's dirty tactics backfired and they finished outside the medals looking like the twats and bad losers that they are. :thumbup
