Winter Olympics - Curling and Bobsleigh

[Hannibal smith]

After 3 (of 10) ends the Men's curling team are 2-0 down against the Germans. Boo. Interestingly, the German captain is called Andy Kapp. As someone mentioned yesterday, I am strangely addicted to this curious mix of cleaning and skating.

At 4.30 today Shelley Rudman goes in the 'Skeleton Bobsleigh' having finished 1st, 3rd and 4th in the Training run. Not bad after starting 40 months ago on a £400 weekend away.

Medal Prospects today?

If they are on skates, it might explain why they are losing.

Good point. What on earth do they wear on thier feet? The British look like my shoes I wear to work, although the German seem to be wearing a pair of GOLA's

 

[Juan Albion]

One shoe is slippery smooth, the other has grip. To move, you stand on the slippery one and push with the grippy one.

Whatever they are wearing, we are in the process of getting stuffed in the 4th end.

Fritz has 5 stones in the circle to our 2

There's about 30 seconds of fun to be had with this online flash version of curling here:

Click on the box headed "Skandal Um Norwegerin" at the bottom of the front page, then scroll down (if you can) past the smutty pictures of Norwegian lady skiers appearing to touch themselves and click on "Olympia Game".
