Unlucky! Reminds of Lindsey Jacobellis in 2006. With a good lead over the competition she attempted a final trick in the last 100m of the olympic final, it cost her the medal!

It really was an epic fail , I was watching it live and couldn't quite believe what I was seeing , also there were some major crashes on that course that took hundreds of yards for them to come to a stop , our Chemmy did reasonably well but nowhere near the medal positions.

I have just been watching the first bob skeleton run , we have a BRITISH leader Amy Williams :boing: with our other contestant Shelley Rudman in 11th.

We were watching it too - some really nasty falls :( But that one was just a classic.

Almost as bad as the night before - the Men's snowboarding - The commentator deserved to be shot! He got something (ie names/results) )wrong every time he spoke!

Best of British to our contestants tonight , keep everything crossed.

[Ziggy Parker]

I train at the same gym, which was going to be over run last night with all the hoohaa. will go training tonight...hopefully the England Netball team will be there tonight or the womens Beach Volleyballers...... I cant think why I joined that gym ?????
trvia fact : weirdly my ex was leading the parade on her Police Horse.

[Redex R]

Wow Ziggy ! we all like a policewoman , possibly one of these mounties then ??

Another thing that makes the medal even more remarkable , this is the uni high tech training jig , quite interesting at first but that could get quite boring by the 55th time ?

Oh and Ziggy I can certainly understand the NEED to join a gym like the one you mention !
