Yeah those were brave ladies, they reckoned it was a harder course than the men's. Great pictures for tv but plenty of sore bodies this morning I bet

Did anyone see the men's ski cross last night? Really excellent to watch, it was like bumpers on ski's with 4 guys racing against each other in the same race, really exciting and the commentators were going crazy a bit like the x games meets the olympics great stuff

I was watching that too.... what utter mentalists they were. Great fun to watch and yes, the commentators were absolutely wetting themselves with excitement!

They were also putting the mockers on everyone. Anyone they backed was sure to fail.
