TheCesspit Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 23 Posts: 1929 | Woman's skeleton is the most important winter sport in the UK (or at least it should be)... or at least that's the one I can get some national pride going in. 4 medals in the sport for the last 4 games, from 4 different atheletes, that's just under 20% of Great Britain's -total- medal count at the Olympics, and 20% of their gold medals. Figure Skating is the only sport to rank higher (15 out of the 33 medals), and hasn't got a medal since 1992 in the sport. I think there should be a Spring and Autumn Games.... Spring games is for all the sports which require a judges marking (Gymanastics, Ice dance, Sychronised Swimming). Autumn for all the team sports (Football, Softball, Rugby 7's, 20/20 Cricket, Ice Hockey). It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

That's really a pretty good idea, Cess! though I bet the Summer Games would not give up Gymnastics, as that's considered the Franchise sport in those games. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

I'm not one to get starstruck, like, ever, but I've had the maddest crush on Amy Williams for years. I was smitten the first time I saw her. Still waiting for it to wear off. >< If only I could meet her. I think I'd have a shot ;) Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Not interested. It's not about the looks. Well... not entirely ;) Hot girls are a dime a dozen. Genetic fortune isn't much to get excited about. Personality, dedication, personal triumph, that's the meat of the meal. And the fact that her personal triumph just so happens to be being the best in the world at one of the fastest, most dangerous, and adrenaline inducing things on the planet... yeah, that helps, too ;) I'm just saying, if she needs a luge partner... Phew... I've just gone all dizzy. So that's what swooning feels like... O.o Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | Kaitlyn Farrington was one of the most interesting stories for USA. She beat three former gold medalists to win her gold in Snowboarding Halfpipe, and she wasn't even part of the discussion prior to the race. USA Kaitlyn FARRINGTON 91.75 AUS Torah BRIGHT 91.50 (Gold 2010 Vancouver, BC, CAN) USA Kelly CLARK 90.75 (Gold 2002 Salt Lake City, UT, USA) USA Hannah TETER 90.50 (Gold 2006 Torino, ITA) |

Mmmmmmm.... I've run the skeleton on the same track of her first major competition, where she won silver. That's, like, one degree of separation. One more degree to go... OK, enough about my twitterpation. Back to... whatever it was... Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Twice, actually. She was "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car", I believe the day they brought the Cee'd in as the RPC. That was genesis of my crush. God... Amy Williams... Mmmmmm Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |
