St.Moritz World Cup 6 2008

9th place! I hit a few walls and had an awful first start, but for that fact a top 10 result is pretty good! As an athlete you always want more, but I'm taking the philosophy that everything is experience for the only race that really counts - Vancouver 2010!!
St.Moritz is the birth place of ice track sports, Skeleton of course originating from the Cresta run. I met Nino Bibbia, the first Olympic Skeleton gold medallist from the Games held here in 1948! A legend in these parts! The picture is with him!

Cesana World Cup 5 & European Championships 2008

6th place in the World Cup race and 4th in the European Championships! Although I hit a few walls on the way down today and know a better result was possible, as an athlete in a performance sport I cannot dwell on if's, but's and maybe's! The result is not a bad one at all, and leaves me 5th in the overall World Rankings!
The picture is of our team, including athletes, coaches, our performance director and physio. Kristan Bromley came 2nd overall and won the European Championships, it was great to hear the national anthem! Well done Kristan!

Cesana World Cup 4 2008

2nd place! What a great result! And only 0.05 of a second behind Canadian Jon Montgomery in 1st! Lots of confidence to take into tomorrows 5th World Cup race on the same track (a race was cancelled in Sigulda, Latvia so there are now two in Italy to make up) World Cup 5 also doubles up as the European Championships! All is possible!
The race missed Olympic Skeleton athlete Patrick Singleton of Bermuda who is helping organise the efforts of the Sea Shepherd protesting Japans whaling programme in the Antartic at the moment! Recently in the news for having two of it’s members kidnapped when they boarded a whaling ship! A noble and worthy cause, see their website in my links, good luck Pat!
