Grumble grumle... *note unhappiness about losing for the first time in several
decades*
Way to go Canada, Congratulations. You started the game hard and never
let up. That's a hard-earned Gold.
I have a question about the reported flag-stomping our women's team
supposedly did... did that REALLY happen? What is the NAME of the person(s)
who actually SAW it happen? Our Women's team denies it...

I just love the fact we got our first winter gold by waiting for everyone else
to fall over... it just fits somehow;)

In one of the men's short track speed skating events, 4 out of 5 skaters went
down in a spill on the last corner. The Aussie, who was dead last, calmly
skated in for gold.
Of course, Australia also won a gold in women's aerials too.

Hi Beth, What little I understand of the sport indicates that this in NOT an
unusual occurance, as long as one falls over according to the rules.
Bye for now,
G'day,

Yeah won by a girl who took the sport up at 19 (used to be a gymnast mind),
she decided she liked jumping better than skiing after she'd taken out her
first 10 or so lift lines.... she gets to practice by leaping into a gungy
swimming pool or natural leach (and undoubtedly nematode) infested
spring....
We really care about our winter athletes... OK the fact we don't always get a
lot of snow doesn't help;)
G'day,

Sort of like beer drinking then?;P
Hell in that case I wonder what took us so long?;);)

G'day,

That'd be why our bob-sled (or luge or whatever) teams do some training
(or used to) in shopping trolleys down the driveways of multistory supermarket
parking lots;)
What I thought was great was that look of incredulous joy on the Aussie's
face.
I've seen that look before...
"SHE said YES?!?! To a DATE?!?! With ME!?!?! WOOHOO!"
Now that was priceless.
As for the other two, I just think that the American had slid into home plate
a few more times than the Canadian. Who would have thought that that skill
would come in useful in speed skating?
