You're joking with me right? You and Ice skating don't seem to quite go together LOL

I love ice skating though, always have. There is something dreamy about it and it is so talented.

Now then, you and football/rugby, yeah, that sounds right...

Hey, there are some sporting moments that you have to appreciate and give kudos too, however much you like their sport or not and Torvill and Dean in that were incredible!:rockon:

I still think you're joking with me, but I'll go with it LOL.
Well, I think they had some amazing moments and some times they were robbed too, cos there were fixing of the scores going on left right and centre in those days.

They deserved that gold millions of times over.

I aint joking with you, I have a wide appreciation and open mind about many things and for the record, they were robbed when they came back in that later Olympics by snotty nosed judges who were ageist!:mad

You serious hun?

Well then, yes, they were robbed, we agree there huh.

I miss having that on BBC2 like it used tobe all the time - I have eurosports, but it's not as good - still, I get to see it when I can, but I do miss a lot of it.

My two favorite moments (that happened during my lifetime) :

Baggio kicking his penalty over the crossbar to give Brazil the world cup in '94. I was just getting into soccer and it was an insanely exciting game. Brazilian football is a joy to watch.

And Joe carter hitting a homerun in '93 to give my hometown Toronto Blue Jays their second straight world series!

YouTube - Baseball

 

[Peter Parka]

Oooh! Couldn't help feeling deeply sorry for Baggio but then I noticed his rat tail and laughed!

YouTube - Colts fans react to Brady's interception

Anyone guess what this is?

 

[TheOriginalJames]

Since no one wanted to make a guess. That was the crowds reaction to Bob Sanders intercepting Brady last year to win the AFC Championship and go to the superbowl.
