Winter Olympics
Date Posted: 13.33hrs on Thu 18 Feb 10
I've been thinking over the last week about the winter olympics.
Why as a country do we suck at them?
Really a boardercross circuit is no different to a slightly icy day at Glencoe or Glenshee.
Likewise our alpine skiers should be experts on the boiler plate downhill tracks with conditions like a typical day in Scotland with "some icy patches".
Our Nordic Expert Downhillers (NEDs) should be able to shoot a target from 100M with ease if they've grown up in any of our major cities/drug holes. And there abilitiy to run away from the polis in icy conditions is legendary.
We really should do better!
