Are the margins always so tight in Winter Games? A number of the sports are separated by less than a second from Gold through Bronze!
I was watching a program on Dutch TV about our bobsled team. They teamed up with DSM to develop a faster sled by making it lighter, stiffer, and smoother to gain up to a few thousands of a second.

The top three Men's figure skaters are very, very close!
Figure skating Pete?...Really?

I am heading for Lake Tahoe a week from Saturday. Mary and I skied in Whistler a number of years back before we did a sailing seminar at Jericho in Vancouver. Nice mountain, what we could see of it. It was totally foggy the whole time. Not very steep, however. And no powder -- I became a powder-hound after living in Vail for ten years. Rick
Just to rub it in, I'm flying out to sort out some personal problems that my sister is having and, fortunately, she lives in Chamonix! I should be able to squeeze in 4-5 days of skiing between meetings!!!!
Sorry!
I hope you get better quicker than you currently anticipate and good luck with the scan. BTW did I mention I'm going skiing?

So is your video more impressive than the one on this thread?
Sadly, that reminds me of me getting off a chair lift...

we do not have it on video I am afraid. one of the other racers described it as follows...
1, caught edge 2, flew thru air a few meters 3, landed on shoulder / elbow and then got big air - shoulder went out at this point. 4, span in a corkscrew about 2m of the ground about 5 times - across the slope so head-feet across and spinning on my head-foot axis high enough that my ski's were not hitting the slope. 5, started to come down; skis came off and landed about 5m away; I tumbled a further few meters; in a bit of pain.
Never again will I EVER use straps. Guaranteed to rip your thumbs. I'd rather take a few minutes to walk uphill after a lost pole than 6 months with a ripped thumb. No straps!
