Another Team GB Olympic Champion
Friday, February 14th, 2014 07:59 pmLizzy Yarnold wins Skeleton gold
So awesome! She won World Cup gold not long ago so was in great form to come into the Olympics with. And in four runs she broke the course record twice. Add in Jenny Jones' bronze medal in slopestyle from a few days ago - Britain's first Olympic medal on snow - and we're something like twelfth on the medal table. And it means that Team GB retains the women's skeleton gold, after Amy Williams (commentating for the BBC in Sochi) won it in Vancouver.
We have Jess overnight - she's just gone to bed - and she wasn't sure about the Winter Olympics at first but I explained that the Olympics isn't in our country (or even down the road) every time. Dad has got all the Lego we had as children out of the loft so we have been making Lego aeroplanes of various descriptions.
It's also thirty years today since Torvill and Dean won Ice Dance gold at Sarajevo:
They've recreated the routine for a special performance returning to Sarajevo and the now-rebuilt ice skating hall as part of an initiative to mark the 30th anniversary of the Games and to help re-establish Sarajevo as a home of winter sport.
