Anyone watching Amy about to win Gold for the Uk?

[cathcat]

Bob skeleton racing - on now, BBC2. Commentators very excited!

I never thought this would be a thread I would write btw....but GO AMY!

Oooooooh!

Go Amy (whoever you are)

Slide down that mountain on a tea tray!

She hit a speed of 130kph on the last run, or one of them That tea tray must be taking some battering!

Yes watching here too....

I refuse to go to bed!

I hope she bloody wins.

Go amy

She's only ever had silver before

Yes. I was asking on the other thread why they throw a blanket over their head at the end. Anyone know?

Nervous now!

Fast start.

Yes!!

Well done, gutsy lady!

WAhooooooooo

Brilliant! She looked so calm too, she must have nerves of steel. I could barely watch!

I enjoyed that soooo much. Think they are possibly certifiable for hurtling down an icy tube at 140kph.... but superb result.

to brake lol. saves smashing you and the tea tray into the end of the run

my kids are dead funny, dd2 was shouting 'eh oh, canada go!' until dd1 and ds1 pointed out she's a brit. so she started shouting 'eh oh, team gb go!'. until they pointed out that brits don't say, eh, eh. so she's content to dance round the room now. unfortunately, here the coverage has stopped (unless a canadian athlete is winning they switch to other coverage lol...) so do let me know if we get a gold!

We do indeed have a Gold. Well Amy does, but we get to bask in her glory for a sec.

it's the first gold since Robin Cousins and the first woman getting a gold for 50 years I think they said...

at least they put it on msn this morning! yay!
