Britain's first solo Winter Olympic gold for 30 years, top stuff

And the first gold in any sport since Robin Cousins!!! Fantastic achievement!

We won the curling not too long ago Jimbob ;)


I do love the fans over there, at every event there's been a Union Flag somewhere with some mad brits stood nearby.

Maybe it was indivdual medals then! Well the BBC told me that so it must be right! O wait...

Typical, a medal for laying down

I somehow saw this last night, well I didn't see Williams run but I saw the other womens and when they did the ghost replay there wasn't 1 that was even remotely close to her. The course must take some battering after a while though.

Oohh @ Jimbob
