Ah the Winter Olympics, the home of the elegant, the
dangerous and the downright daft. Predictably for an event which largely
consists of people sliding down or across frictionless particles of frozen
water Sochi 2014 has been a veritable festival of sub-zero speed.
Certainly this fortnight it’s the freestyle skiiers and
boarders who so far have collected the headlines with their flips and tricks
and endless whooping.
For my money though you can keep their backside 1080s,
Tomahawks and Slopestyle because the most fascinating action has not been
whizzing down a mountain but on the more sedate surroundings of the curling sheets.
