    Whenever I see an adult on a bicycle, I believe in the future of the human race.

    I was thinking of a whole new event - the Skuge - which is a 2-person event and the positioning is a combination of the skeleton and the luge... :lol:

    Well, the event could incorporate a system whereby points are awarded for style and technical difficulty . :D

    Not the luge, but the skating (pairs). The top Brits are brother and sister, pairs figure skating is quite intimate with all sorts of crotch carrying and stuff, seems a bit wrong to me. As far as I'm aware they're not from Norwich or Gloucester.

    +1 surely there comes a point where the parents think "hang on, this is inappropriate and we ought to put them with other partners". I felt uncomfortable watching.

    In the skuge you would need an optimum time of 69 seconds :wink:

    They started out with different partners, but now skate together for some reason. I wonder if either of them have partners and whether the partners get a little jealous :shock: :lol:
