Ha ha, Russia living up to its reputation with style. Downhill skiers threatening to pull out because it's too dangerous. Do me a favour, you become a pro at the most dangerous traditional sport there is, the odd triple black run shouldn't spook you. Was it a cosseted yank complaining by any chance?

Ruskies do danger very well, from nuclear power plants that melt to passenger planes that kill more people than military ones. They never made a decent motorcar for their people yet they made weapons so dangerous even the Germans used them instead of their own and copied them. So don't go to Russia if you like to be in a safe hi-viz bubble all the time. Just get on with it yanks, skiing's a dangerous sport. Part of the thrill surely? The Ruskies get that! (actually it's probably Canadians, they're the world's worst PC infested whiny whingers and health & safety nannies. Just, followed by us.) Angry

The ladies in the Snowboard Slope Style all have clean grabs apparently. It's good to know.

Breaking news: Jenny Jones first medal for UK. First ever on snow. Bronze Medal in the Slope Style. Radical, party-on, Waynes World! Waynes World!

Not at the moment, no snow at all, thank God for that. Best "winter" in years!*

* Hello zooo! ;)

Lets the athlete have good sleep for now.

Curling is snooker on ice. It's stupidly addictive imo like snooker, and just as time consuming.

You're right, those two freaks wouldn't look out of place in the snowboarding finals here. The US team were wearing jeans. A bit pathetic really isn't it, this American grungy obsession they all have? Ours should be doing it in smart suits.
