Vonn's managed to finish the first official training session in 11th. It's a very long shot but if she managed to medal it would be nothing short of miraculous. If she had balls they'd be made of steel, or, maybe to match her other knee, titanium.

Ahead of the Winter Olympics in Milan, the World Anti-Doping Agency is investigating whether ski jumpers were injecting their penises with hyaluronic acid in order to fly further.

Startling allegations emerged first in the German newspaper Bild in what has now been dubbed “Penisgate”.

Have the women been injecting their penises?

Blue Riband event Men’s Downhill due off about 10.30am tomorrow I think.
Hardly ever watch skiing these days, but weather forecast looks grim so might sit down and watch a bit after parkrun in the morning.

Top 3 sporting heroes, good call, got me thinking now.

If we’re talking from yesteryear, I’m going Daley Thompson, Marita Koch, John Riggins.

British team just came through. At least they had their union jacks the right way up.

That Maria Koch world record for the 400 metres is still standing.
Defies logic that it hasn't been broken in 40 odd years.

There's barely been any outdoor women's sprint records on full 400m tracks in 30+ years. FloJo's were only a couple of years after, and the 800m is even older.

Thats right.
Kratchvilova.

You'd think that with the better track surfaces, top fitness and diet regimes, coaching and the use of pacemakers they'd be challenged by some of the current sports women.

It is a surprise. Sydney Mclaughlin will break the 400m record soon.

Absolutely mate, legendary athlete.
Jonathan Edwards triple jump is another really old record too.

Have the women been injecting their penises?

Let's see the Belarus's athletes first.
