Sorry, but I like it. I have the utmost respect for someone that not only can ski 7.5k in 20 mins, but can also shoot during that.

I used to shoot target rifle for my county, both small bore and full bore, and that was difficult enough, let alone trying to shoot accuratly with a pulse of 120 - 130 bpm.

That and during a race they will use 70 - 80 % of their body's stored energy, thats why they most often collaspe once over the finish line.

The womens world cup has been very close, down to 10th sec in some of the races

Sorry, very bad day.

I was hoping to go to Italy to watch it, sadly not going to happen. Wouldn't have minded watching the Bobsleigh either, now they (especially the 1 man bobs) are ******* nutters. 80mph on basically a tea tray with blades

A guy I have been working for lives in Turin and he is going away for the games as he thinks it will be too busy! I will be in France so might see if i can get across but not sure i will get the time.

Have you seen the skeleton bobs? they go head first down the course

Yeah I have Skeleton bobs are the 1 man bobs, as I said *******

I'd love to go just for the experiance and to take the camera, damn work, still, I might be a pro snapper in 2012 Not my sort of sporting even, I'm happier with the winter olympics. But a friend of mine should be on the England squad still, so you never know.

The Winter Olympics is certainly a great spectacle and I am looking forward to it too.
