interesting piece and all, wear a helmet blah blah blah, what I don't agree with is her comment about replacing the helmet after it's taken a knock, blimey that could get expensive :roll:

BTW only 48 finished :oops:

Which speaks volumes about the race strategy adopted by Miller and Ligerty who failed to complete the 1st run.

considering Bode straddled something like the fourth or fifth gate I'm not quite sure what his strategy was....... :oops:

and to be fair I think the weather conditions may have counted for some of those DNF :roll:

47th in an Olympic Slalom is pretty good going, for a guy who's only been skiing 6 years.

okay so he would have been last if it wasn't for Tola side-stepping back up the slope after missing a gate so that he could complete the course, all in the "Olympic Spirit" don't you know?

BTW only 48 finished :oops:

well he didn't come last :lol: :lol: :lol:
