Maybe footballers should just carry on playing with their torn ACLs then? Or would the right medical advice be to have surgery and allow it to heal rather than taking part in a sport that's known for being damaging to knees (skiing and football)?

Bravest? Not a chance. Darwin award attempt, definitely

Why would any footballer play on with a torn ACL, I didn't remotely suggest that!

I was trying to point out how brave (and silly) she was to not accept defeat in her Olympic dream and ignore all medical advice to compete in the downhill skiing!

So you don't think she was brave to try and win a Gold medal, by skiing at 80mph, with a ruptured ACL? Yes it was very stupid to attempt it and was always going to fail! That's why she might have to have her leg amputated!

You sound silly saying that she isn't brave mate!

Have you seen the pic of her trussed up in iron rods? Hope she recovers ok.
 
The BBC have had a nightmare. Our pair in the ice dancing were nailed on for a medal. Finished 7th.
Then that American was unbeatable in the ice dancing 8th. They also failed to even show the winning routine by the lad from Kazakhstan.
Then the guy who won our gold. The commentator said he'd worked his whole life for this moment. Then in his interview he said he only took the sport up 7 years ago.

There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity.

Bravery is going into a burning building to save others, or a soldier attacking an enemy position. What she did was stupid and self-obsessed. Hopefully she's got good medical insurance to pay for it.
 
Was watching on delay so was hoping the new messages were good news. Really enjoyable watch too, given it's one of the lesser profile events.

Dick and Dom, sorry I mean Ed and Tim, properly chuffed to bits too (and rightly so).
