But Louisa did really well in the Skeleton, her time was one of the fastest, just not as fast as the person she was up against. It was her jump that she was eliminated on. Shame.
However it doesn't give you ability and skill, such as the ability to avoid getting clattered about on the walls of The Skeleton. It's been spoken about before that when you are skiing down the slope of the jumps your weight definitely gives you a speed advantage when it comes to getting leverage off the end of the jump. But again, it isn't going to provide you with technique if you haven't got any. |

Cleary the worst time to record in the training heats is the second best, then you have to compete against the best skier in your head to head. And similarly the best time to record is the second worst - because then you compete against the worst.
In general, the best skiers should probably not be trying too hard in the training runs that they use to determine the pairings. I don't know if any of them have thought about that. |

That's very interesting! I wonder if any of the contestants have worked that out. Probably not, but clearly a great tactic.

These talk sections make me cringe. Davina is way over the top.

I would be tempted after getting drunk in that cold to lick her leg like some people do a lamp-post.
