Winter Olympics

Don't know if anyone can see it at home, but if you do get coverage turn on the winter olympics straight away... There's an Irish guy in third place in the skeleton competition after the first run - if he does well in the second (and final) run he could be looking at a medal! He's called Clifton Wrottesley

He came 4th in the end - missed out on a medal by less than half a second.

Unlucky...

I believe his full name is:

Lord Clifton Hugo Lancelot De Verdon Wrottesely,

And he was educated at Eaton.

Well done though on getting so close.

Well done, your lordship.

Old chap clifton, has brought the sport to new levels. Up and down the country young boys and girls are skeletoning.

Ah its like Italia 90 all over again.
