yes that was superb, we all sat and watched it. I think they must be a little bit mad, but my 14yo thought it was ace!!!:cool:

I even allowed myself to be patriotic and waved my union jack flag for the British couples. The volume when the Canadians Virtue and Moir overtook Davis and White was phenomenal - I felt a surge of Canadian pride for the first time :)

Once-in-a-lifetime experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it :wub:

Pity the Canadian in the final fell over (again). Do you think they're all smoking too much BC bud?

I thought it was great to watch.
Could not believe some of it.

Am sure the Canadian / ex-American will be tested ;) to prove a point - heard (in commentary) he fell in a ravine once, after a little too much juice but on the straight now.

While skiing, and he had broken his neck!
Made a big deal of his 'Bad boy made good' before the finals which exasperated me. However, did feel for him when he fell as he was going for silver rather than settling for bronze. True sportsmanship.

Well I really hope either I misheard the commentary, OR they didn't describe it correctly!

I (sucker for a good story) really wanted him to win it, but then my support is always GB, Canada & Finland.

back to womens ski cross now - though keeping an eye on curling

BBCi - god love it:)
