She's had more coverage for falling over (admittedly quite a lot) than she'd have got for winning.

I watched the slopestyle last night - pretty impressive. A bit pointless and I do wonder how you get into a sport like that but a decent watch.
Could’ve done with the commentators explaining what was going on instead of saying he’s gone for the texan270 and that though. They were really annoying me after about 10-15 minutes of garbage while I’m working out what the blue lines on the snow were for.
Just when you think you've seen everything Elise gets disqualified. Crazy sport.
I see a Russian curler has been disqualified for doping. I might not be understanding the sport very well, but what would make someone feel the need to dope at Curling? It's not that strenuous is it? Would performance be enhanced significantly?

These stanes are heavy....:greengrin
It's also used like Viagra, so he may have used it recreationally. If he has, it's a bit bloody stupid when it's on the banned list.

When did Steve Cram become a curling expert? His criticisms are way OTT, especially from someone with no background in the sport. Bring back Dougie Donnelly...
I watched something called the "skeleton" which is a bit like the bobsleigh but face first. It looks really dangerous, but most of them seem to get round in one piece.

I thought they were referred to as OAR. Is it not a bit of a waste of time banning them and then acknowledging them at the same time?:crazy:
