2stars Posted February 8 Report Posted February 8 Lindsey Vonn broke her leg today after a fall competing with a snapped ACL which she did last week, aged 41 in what will be her final games was always a risk for her but she took it anyway after 2 successful practice runs last couple of days it looks like she had started on an aggressive line and as she turned into small mound her ski pole clipped the gate as she became airborne turning her slightly mid air resulting in the fall She never quite emulated her ex (Tiger) with the comeback victory she craved but she was certainly living for the moment- not sure if there is a need to be in the public eye but wish her a full and speedy recovery Quote
Goldie03 Posted February 9 Report Posted February 9 I had a cracking weekend in Milan, the figure skating was incredible to see live and the ice hockey atmosphere was brilliant. Add to that tremendous food & wine 3 Quote
Mason89 Posted February 9 Report Posted February 9 I love ice hockey but it’s difficult when I follow the Canucks and all the teams I hate are doing well Quote

Goldie03 Posted February 9 Report Posted February 9 Yes the commentators thought she had it so I was quite excited- fine margins Quote
swaddon Posted February 9 Report Posted February 9 She still has another event to go. And she's young, so she could have another crack in four years. Some of the comments on the BBC about her are disgraceful. Quote

Bukta Bertie Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 Why does the British team perform so poorly in the Winter Olympics yet persistently punch above their weight in the summer version. Odd. Quote
manc_don Posted February 15 Report Posted February 15 Always enjoy watching the speed skating, but not seen any major crash outs yet. Quote
swaddon Posted February 15 Report Posted February 15 21 hours ago, Bukta Bertie said: Why does the British team perform so poorly in the Winter Olympics yet persistently punch above their weight in the summer version. Odd. There's no world class facilities for most Winter sports in the UK such as bobsleigh and the other slidey sports. 1 Quote

Bukta Bertie Posted February 15 Report Posted February 15 That would make sense. As a tournament it bores me rigid but I do expect Scotland (GB) to do better at the curling and I noticed they lost to Italy the other day. That's surely unacceptable. Quote
swaddon Posted February 15 Report Posted February 15 Matt Weston wins his second gold of the games for GB. That's him a stick-on for Sports Personality of the Year unless England win the World Cup. Quote
