When are they going to win a real gold?

Do they have any downhill, slalom, long distance or biathlon skiers?

Mixed skeleton. Lol.

First GB to take two golds at the same games.

There'd only been 13 golds for gb at previous games. Most successful gb games ever?

Nah pal. Sledging is the purist form of snow sport. The equivalent of the 100m or a game of football. Literally everyone has given it a go*.

You can't complain about elitism them have a go at sledging.

*Where it snows.

The reporting is jingoistic.

Apparently now the blue riband event of the games is this looney tunes event and not the Mens and Women's Downhill.

...just like ice skating was the blue riband winter olympic sport back in the 1980s when GB were winning stuff in that.

Backed Weston at 16s straight after his first gold for SPOTY and then again at 12s after that second gold. Looking a good shout. Now 5/1 fav.

They'll replay it. He had some deficit to turn around, let alone win it by a distance. His run and hers from 4th place would make interesting time comparison.
