O/T Eddie the Eagle wannabe?/Winter Olympics

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

Are we in danger of matching our Eurovision exploits at these Winter Olympics?

In all honesty though I never realised how sparse our medal hauls were in the winter games? I took a look back almost 50 years, all the way to when we seemed to be at the forefront of the ice skating events with the likes of Curry, Cousins, Torville and Dean and we typically only get 1-2 medals and have had two 'nil points' events in 1988 (Calgary) and 1988 (Albertville). Flattered to deceive in the last 2 though with 5 medals. Is it time to stop funding these lot who are really just out on the piste?

That’s because those sneaky Europeans pick the events they are good at instead of having good old British winter events like snowballing, defrosting windscreens, gritting drives and building snowmen with giant cocks

Is it the snowman who has the giant cock or are the people building the snowman using their giant cocks? If it's the latter that would certainly deserve a medal in my book considering the cold 'shrinkage' factor.

Russian drug cheating youngster is not banned because it may cause her damage.

But the drugs she took and failed her test with won't.

If she wins ther won't be a ceremony meaning that all of the clean athletes won't get their moment of glory.

Twáts!

Cheating it is but she’s simply a victim.

Russia are banned so they go under ROC who are supposed to be drug free. If I was skating I would tell them to shove it. She’s favourite by all accounts.

I agree. Is there time to find her long lost Welsh great grandfather (Crash?) and have her represent GB?

[rolymiller]

I have always been proud of my olympic skidders in mi underpants but our lass would insist on me changing em long before 15 years was up!

....those what make these decisions need to step up to the mark. What does this judgement say to everyone else..........

Just gives them a green light to carry on...........ban her. Then kick them all out of every sport.

[millertop]

She might be a victim or she may not but it’s the 2nd time she’s got away with it, she blames her grandad’s medicine for contamination this time.

The only way something would be done was if other skaters refused to skate but we all know that won’t happen
