    Um wouldn't we need some sprinters first in order to have some ex-sprinters?

    We have plenty of sprinters in this country Paul Hession being the prime example
    I think you are mixing up us having sprinters with us having sprinters winning gold medals in the Olympics

    Did a quick google and didn't find the Irish team listed anywhere. I'm assuming it has been finalised. Anyone know where it's listed?

    15 days to go and then it will be eurosport, eurosport and more eurosport on the TV! :cool:

    It was announced yesterday

    Kirsty McGarry and Shane O'Connor in the alpine skiing
    Pat Shannon Skeleton and PJ Barron Cross Country skiing and female Bob-sleigh team of Aoife Hoey and Claire Bergin

    Good luck one and all,

    There is an "athletes" section on the official Vancouver site, but no sign of any Irish entrants on there:

    http://www.vancouver2010.com/olympic-athletes/

    There is also no UK listed on that search page either and they definitely have some who won't still be waiting on qualifications.

    First you gotta take up ski racing, apply to the Snowsports Association of Ireland for your Federation International de Ski (FIS) license, compete in some FIS races and do well enough in them to get ranked first in Ireland or in the top 500 in the World (1st Irish is much, much easier), easy!... or maybe not.... at all.....


    Their website appears to be kaput. What does one need for a FIS license ?
