Torneyboy Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 BelgianBoy said: bust1 said:Must say I am looking forward to the speed skating. Could history repeat itself. Had to be one of the funniest sporting mishaps I've ever seen. Steve Bradbury rode on that win for years. Incidently anyone ever taken a TG skiing and if so did they enjoy it? You must be talking about shorttrack, thats kiddie stuff....... Real speed skating is on big 400 meter tracks ! Ask the Dutch..... ! As for skating, GF loves it, just went last saturday afternoon and will do so again next week. BB BB= Bruised Backside :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayjann Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 'check the Medal Ranking including Australia' don't forget to add Great Britain to that list........ Shelley Rudman wins GB's first Silver in any event since 1936...... and in her 1st Year of competing in the Sport,good on ya Girl........ haven't seen any footage as i am normally asleep when the action is going on and not really interested in the whole thing but will try and look for this in the Highlights if i get the chance. i did see the Female Chinese Ice Skater take a mighty fall after what i thought was a difficult move but still won the Silver. i understand a lot of controversy about that?....... but i will admit i would love to have a go on a Bobsleigh before i part this World. i would imagine the adrenaline rush is incredible...............
