Australian Olympic Team

Jackie Narracott could make history in the Skeleton tonight - watch it live from 11:20pm AEDT on 7Olympics.

Jackie is in first place after 2 runs, with 2 runs remaining.

Settle down in front of Channel 7 and cheer on the Aussie speedster. Lets go 💛🔥

Congratulations to Lindsey Jacobellis and Nick Baumgartner of the US for winning the gold medal in team cross snow board . She's 36 and he's 40 . Just 24 hours ago he finished 10th in the men's solo and thought he was done . What a comeback story !
That was a great event to watch.

I thought Luge was crazy, but Skeleton takes it to another level.

much worse than that
it's made in china

The IOC is saying it is considered a performance enhancing drug and rumors are the Russians will be stripped of the gold medal and it will go to the Americans .

Additional confusion in the rules because she is a minor is who will be held responsible because she is not an adult . What a mess ! I tried to post the story link but my phone is not playing nice ��
Wow, she isn't being DQ'd or sanctioned.

^^^ That sends a very poor message across all Olympic disciplines ☹️ . So the next athlete that fails a test what does the committee say ? The pass/fail criteria is there for a reason and is supposed to keep the competition fair for all " clean " athletes . Very bad decision in my opinion .

Fast Freddy 944 02-14-2022 05:07 AM
Folks still watch this?

rfuerst911sc 02-14-2022 05:11 AM
Ummm here's an interesting twist . The IOC has stated IF the Russian skater gets a podium finish they will NOT allow her to get on the podium to celebrate . They are also saying she will not be given any medals until all this drug testing results are cleared up .

In other news, I don't think anyone can beat the Canadian Womens hockey team. 6 games over 50 goals with 311 shots on goal. What a powerhouse.
