She was fantastic!!

Having tried skeleton a couple of years ago (which has to be the scariest experience of my life!! ), I have the utmost admiration for those crazy sledders!!

Thanks, but its a long way to go to see her collect her GOLD medal. I am sure CTV and NBC will be featuring it though.

Woo hoo, in your face Canada.

Yeah, in your face again Canada, we're number one.

As of 8.00am Feb.19/2010 from The Telegraph (a UK newspaper, I believe). FFS, the bastards must be lying again.


Gold Silver Bronze Total
Canada 3 3 1 7
Not so Great Britain 0 0 0 a big fat 0

Suck it up and choke on it.

I'm so chuffed for her for pulling it together when it mattered, WELL DONE AMY! It brought out a rare feeling of national pride for me, and I'll be proudly waving my union jack for the Kerrs at the ice dance original dance on Sunday

I'm soooo disappointed that I missed it. I haven't had national pride feelings for I don't know how long.

BTW are Canadian women any good at curling? 'Cos they're getting beat by a team from Denmark right now.
