The whole Skinsuit thing in the Skeleton is abit like the moronic complaining about the Track cycling wheels being rounder than the other competitors at the last Olympics.
Yup... since I listened to the pundits talking for first few days that some were disadvantaged depending on the quality of materials used in sleds, slideythings whatever compared to other teams.... what's the fecking difference like? One has a better thing the other has a better suit.... Now if had rockets on it fair enough.....
its like the swimming. its tenths of a second they are tlaking about. one bad corner and its nullified. If you take two perfect runs and put one in whatever air parting tech is on the skin suit and they win by 0.1 seconds theres no way at 80mph or whatever you get a significant advantage in air with a special suit. the slidey thingys might be to do with stiffness or stability or lightness.. who knows. like... who really cares?
Have decided that the Aerials is the strangest idea for a sport. The idea seems to be to do a fancy trick and then try not to faceplant into the snow.
That loser Scottish skater has crashed out again too much bucky in training obviously Unbelievable Jeff
ok i just put on bbc and winter olympics for a look. treated to some bint crying cos he os so happy. dunno what she won and then tourville and ****ing dean..... and not not tourville ****ing dean either before some wag says that. wtf like... ancient history
Starting to look like the Winter equivalent of Paula Radcliffe. Can win all the World Champs and break records, but when it comes to the Olympics all bad luck and Meltdowns
I'm glad to see whizzy Lizzy Yarnold winning gold and defending her title. What ever you think of the sport to come top in the biggest event in your sport against the best the world has to offer is brilliant and to do it twice is extraordinary.
After no game last week, frozen pitch. 6-0 win Going well, a few tricky fixtures still to go and a couple of double headers coming up. Its slightly annoying Hull keep scraping through win (3 games since we beat them and they've won each by 1 goal), don't need them to drop points at this stage, but it'd be nice.
