The Yarny army was in town,
To watch sister, daughter, friend, come down,
On a tea tray, on sheet ice,
So only serious nerves suffice,
But Lizzy’s the golden girl, who took the crown.
Lizzy Yarnold, Olympic champion 2014 Women’s Skeleton Bob – she won by 97 seconds, unheard of in such a sport. In comparison, only 10 seconds separated 3rd, 4th and 5th.

I’m struck by the fact that GB won gold this time and las time, but without a single track in GB!
I know! The ladies seem to be astonishingly good at skeleton bob. Two golds in a row!
it’s a great goal achievement lesson because the Brits learn to start in Britain, then go abroad to get the ice time, whereas other countries with ice learn to slide first, then the start afterwards – I wonder if they will change tack after seeing our two golds in a row!
Who knows?!
