You Bloody Little Ripper Bewdy Torah! Spot on cobber And great effort from Holly Crawford too. What's the bet that Torah becomes the new darling of the Aussie Olympic movement. Great win when she had to really bring it home, had four great Yanks to knock off and looks to make even a priest take a second glance. That was up there with Alisa's gold back in SLC....

Athan Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Well, she's had an accident afterwards while she was training, she's being taken to hospital and she won't be able to take part in the final. Bye bye medal chances for Spain! I can't believe it! She did it perfectly in the qualifying round. What is more, with the mark she was given (44.3) she would have won the silver medal... Well, it seems we'll have to wait 'til Sochi 2014 for our third Olympic winter medal. However, there might be good results in alpine skiing with Carolina Ruiz and M. José Rienda, but I don't think these results will be medals. Congratulations, Queralt! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame that she had the accident...I'm sure Queralt would have made it tough for Torah and the Yanks. But...that's Olympic Winter sports for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

747 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Anything but a total sweep was an upset, they had all they needed to dominate, and as a team they blew it. 2 individual did OK, but they should have brought the sweep home, it was a mediocre competition.....it will not be remembered as significant because it wasn't.

How long have you been watching the Olympics? Cuz if you were, you'd know how rare sweeps are in ANY sport. There may have been an upset in gold, but absolutely not a sweep. Being beaten by a 45.0 is no choke on the Americans. It's called a clutch performance by the Aussie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
747 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Sorry........all the women except the American suck, it's always luck if anyone gets through. This is an American sport and everyone else is chasing the Americans. Silver and Bronze mean NOTHING without the Gold too, this was a disappointment and these dirty American girls really screwed it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver and Bronze mean NOTHING without the Gold too, this was a disappointment and these dirty American girls really screwed it up. Torah was always a strong medal chance of this. Gold may have been a pleasant result, but not totally unexpected either. Check Sports Illustrated to see to how unexpected her medalling was.

Have you been watching any Half Pipe the last four year? Because the US being shut-out of the medals in the women's half pipe was, to be frank, quite likely. If anybody chocked last night, it was the Chinese team, not the American team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well now you have your 2, reason enough to party down under I suppose, it's a bit of a different league up here?! Have you been watching any Half Pipe the last four year?

No....only X-games, why?.....are you on the circuit? 2 for 3 is a disappointment out this way. Those white girls had NO air and sucked a**. As for the Chinese....no thanks, stick to ping pong and torture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, we've got more chances in the locker coming up - see you at the aerials. Yeah, totally different league here. At least we're punching well above our winter weight.

747 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 p.s. I don't mind negative reputation vote, I promise not to retaliate. I kind of am looking to rack them up so I don't have to worry about being phony or PC, that's for the IOC. Any of you that like my honesty, please don't give me positive points, it hurts my negative reputation. A silent fist pump will do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
