    Something about throwing yourself headfirst down a mountainside, whether it be chasing cheese wheels or gold medals, is hard-wired into our national DNA apparently

  2. I completely wrote off the gold when I saw the deficit, Matt really is just on another level, it’s ridiculous. So great to see Matt and Tabby pull it off!

    Got to mention Freya Tarbit and Marcus Wyatt who finished 4th place, so close to a medal. Freya actually got the fastest time out of all the women today. Great sign for the future!

    I like how we have gone from having to defend our performance to record breaking Winter Games in only a couple of days

    My toddler is developmentally pretty delayed at talking. Just has struggled to pick up words and babbles away. I put it on the final few runs and he watched transfixed but silent except for the occasional uhoh as he thought they were falling over in the launch as they dived on the sled.

    However in Westons run I was shouting at the TV and suddenly from the this little boy who takes forever to pick up words he started shouting “COME ON MATT” in unison with me.

    I’ve legitimately not seen him pick something up that quickly.

    Proper special moment for me.

    You mean he won the gold, she nearly cost him it. He probably would have won gold regardless of who his partner was, she only won gold because he pulled it off. I’d get it if they go down together but they don’t so this isnt even a team sport.
