Bugsy Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Bit of 'sour grapes' led by the Americans"Williams had been left unaware of the off-ice drama which had seen six other teams, led by the US, protesting about her race helmet, claiming that it broke regulations and offered her an unfair aerodynamic advantage. "So typical .Why don't they just accept that she was so obviously the best, by far.Well done Amy.Where do they train in the UK, I wonder.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardengirl Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I only heard it on the radio, but it sounded great! In the interview with her she sounded very down to earth considering her achievement, said she'd asked her coach how she'd done. Great achievement!

Pierre ZFP Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I t was also reported on the Beeb this morning that it isn't a full length track, just a short section to practise starts. 'Ramshackle' was the word used.So even more kudos to Amy for victory in difficult circumstances.It makes my blood boil sometimes over the lack of sports facilities in UK, far fewer opportunities now than when I grew up in London and so expensive to use what is available!Sorry, rant over, Well done Amy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
