Having watched the men's downhill last night I think the Swiss should stick to skiing. (And have you noticed how all the downhillers are built like Phantom sailors?!).

they certainly had all the pies....but I haven't recovered from the sight of Bode Miller at the start gate.  Skin tight lycra showed what a man he truly is!

And what was that chap behind the yanks shouting at them all about?  He would really put me off.
the same, but different...

Not quite sure who he was- but he was encouraging all the English speaking skiers, not just the Americans.

That's Baby Huey (Pete Lavin). He was originally employed
by ex USA Downhiller Darren Rahlves for his 'motivational'
skills.

He now does the same thing for the entire US mens team plus
the GB team who train with them.

I would have turned round and punched him before launching myself out of the start gate!
