Given how close the Winter Olympics are, I thought I'd open a preview and general thread, rather than stick stuff in the, Olympic Sports between games thread, like I did late last year.
I was prompted by seeing Jackie Narracott has won theSkeleton World Cup event overnight. Its history and first time any Aussie has won a World Cup event in any of the sliding sports.
Bree Walker in the mono Bobsleigh won an event (world series not world cup) in December and has made the podium a few times this season. Unlike the aerials stuff where you can practice in the northern summer at the Olympic institute set up in Brisbane these 2 sports you have to get onto the traditional countries circuits.
Earlier in the week Laura Peel won the WC event in Utah and was able to land one of the highest scoring jumps of all time with her full-full-full, triple twisting triple back somersault. She continues the great tradition in this event with Kirstie Marshall, Jacquie Cooper, Alisa Camplin and Lydia Lassila winning medals at World Championships/Cups and Olympics going back to the early 90's.
and she did this in practice a couple of days before her win in Utah's Deer Valley
