Good opening two rounds for Amy Williams leaves her leading by 0.3 seconds going into tonight's final two rounds. Shelley Rudman in 7th and within a second of the lead and just under 0.6 outside the medals. Looks like a late night ahead watching the end of the racing. Kristan Bromley 5th in mens after two slides, 0.05 outside the medals.

    How come skeleton bob creates much smaller time gaps between competitors than luge? In the mens luge at least they were pretty sure of the medal positions by the end of the second run due to the size of the time gaps.

    An here I was, hoping for some kind of innuendo in the title.

    Why the "spoiler" in the title?? I have seen this before but cannot make head or tail out of it...

    It warns you not to click on the thread if it is something you are interested in, but may not have seen yet. Like spoiling a film by telling you the ending.

    and you get a hammering if you forget to put one in the title of a thread with any form of race results (even a bike race with banner headlines on the front page of this site :lol: )

    Ah, but many (like me), never go to the front page and have the forum bookmarked. Having said that, I'm of the 'If you don't want to know the results, don't go on the internet' school of thinking.

    The first British Winter Olympic Gold Medal in a 'proper' sport in my lifetime.

    Well done Amy :D

    This is the first time I've watched the winter olympics. Way better than the summer one (cycling aside)!

    Her sled is apparently called 'Arthur'
    ...surely 'Bob' would be more appropriate? :?

    Great sliding, didn't let anyone else get a look in.

    Seems a really nice lady too, being interviewed she said she had to google herself to see some photos and videos of her racing as she missed all of it :D
