The Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics

[Holly Goodhead]

Sadly they missed out on a medal but amazing stuff from Jamie Nicholls and Billy Morgan in the Men's snowboard slopestyle.  They finished 6th and 10th respectively.

Are there any skiers or snowboarders here?

A pity Lyndsey Vonn (Tiger Wood's partner) is out with an injury as she's amazing to watch.  Here she finished first shown last:

She reaches speeds of up to 75mph plus.  Cack my pants just thinking about it    I have no idea what speed I get up to max 20mph I guess with a good wind and gluhwein.

A pity about the snowdrop

A pity about the snowdrop   

Yes, perhaps it was supposed to reflect Russia's communist past when nothing worked as it should 

Anyway a great achievement for Jenny Jones    I didn't realise that this was GB's first ever Olympic medal on snow.

Amazing when you think the other contenders probably started boarding/skiing around the time they started walking.  [Name removed] learnt to ski at age 17 on dry ski slopes.  Brilliant

Well done to the women who either single-handedly or in a team won three medals between them 

The men managed one  (Scipio please note another indication of female superiority)

Shame on you Helen Grant!  What about all our great female athletes who have worked tirelessly to get to the top of their game, are positive role models for young girls eg Kelly Smith and Jessica Ennis-Hill and great ambassadors for GB.

Are you a skier or boarder Holly? I am skiing this season in the 3 vallees ..... my nearest slope is where Schumacher had his terrible accident. Very sad!
