“ Hi Sports fans.
And welcome to day two of the Olympic Bobsleigh, here at Calgary.
On what has been a beautiful, if cold Calgary morning here on the slopes. “
“The JAMAICANS, have just beaten their best practice runs, right here on the track, in there first ever olympics on the 2nd run, in their aptly named Bob sled, “Cool Runnings”.
“Say, Ted...Are we in for a day of shocks..?
as the Irish in THEIR first Run after their abysmal display on day one,, try to emulate the Jamaicans ?”
“well Arnie..I'd love to see it, but I very much doubt it..LoL”
“ Rumours abound that the team this week, and JJ, in particular, were seen out and about at the local clubs and clubs, enjoying the Local Hospitality.
And Coach Candy, has been quick to deny any claims that the police where involved at any time..”
“Not the best prep for an Olympian, I wouldn't have said, Arnie”
“ Sadly so, Ted.”
“...And sorry to interupt, but here ARE the Irish, about ready to enter the track..
Lets go trackside, to our correspondent... Saskia & CC”
“Morning and Thank you guys, It's Sakia, here.., hope your warm up there in the commentary box,
I can tell you it's 'Freezing' down here track side.”
“Hi guys, CC here... I can also say I have just seen the most bizarre pre run ritual..
in what Now seems to be almost tribal display by all the teams, the irish have just sung,
“Fields of Athenry”, while carry their sled, “Free-Bird” to the trackside.
“It's has been an 'interesting ' day for definite,....Thank you saskia & CC..”
“...And the bob is now ready, the timer is counting down..and there they go...”
“And THAT was great start, arnie...
A GREAT start from the irish..”
“..There they go through, bend one.... two …...and three at a great pace..”
“Round 'Eejit Corner' beautifully....”
“But Now comes the hardest bend the triple shocker,...Xmas day, Party & Guiness loop.....
“Oohh..there's a wobble.... to gasps from the crowd, JJ looks to have lost control...
“No ladies & Gents...he's OK , JJ seems to have snatched back control
they are past and heading for the line..”
“ AND they are.. DOWN, Ted, and by my watch, that qualifies them for the next round.
But ladies & gentlemen , we are STILL waiting for OFFICIAL confirmation.”
“And there it is, Arnie..to scenes of wild celebration, the IRISH are BACK on track..
with a Sub 200 (lbs)..and an official RUN TIME of....198 (lbs)....”
“Well, Ladies & Gentlemen, we wrote JJ & the DCUK, team off,
The stories of the late nights and carousing,
but It looks like THEY are back ….AND THEY are here for the Long haul....
sensational stuff......
….Back to Gabbie, you in London “
