Do you enjoy at winter-times winter sports on news or by yourself?
What's your favourite sport or your favourite athlete this winter 2004-2005?

This winter has been great to Tanja Poutiainen in Alpine Skiing - she's 1st at the moment Women's Overall!

I enjoy watching winter sports occasionally Mari, especially figure skating and downhill skiing. I have to admit that I have not seriously followed either since Torvill and Dean won all the ice dancing. :eek: That was 21 years ago they won in Sarejevo. Still I was only eleven, still makes me feel old though. I have to admit I do like to watch the winter olympics when it comes round.

Torvill and Dean were great, but Rahkamo and Kokko as well! :D
Next Winter Olympics will be in Torino 2006 - but there's lot's of summer sports to enjoy before that!

I remember Rahkamo and Kokko, very innovative in their time. Did they win or were they subject to the biased judging of the russians?

They win EC and came 2nd in WC 1995 and 4th in Lillehammer Olympics and began afterwords professional skaters - I've heard that they might have one home in the UK but Rahkamo was chosen December'04 for the next two years Finnish Figure Skating Alliances President/Chairman or something like that.

I love watching ice skating! I too used to be a big fan of Torvill and Dean, I remember being allowed to get out of bed in the early hours of the morning to watch them on the telly in a competition!

:D

I remember that as well Milly. It was when T&D won their last world title in Ottawa. I remember feeling so grown up that I could watch it in the middle of the night with my mum and sister ::lol:: Those were the days, although I always preferred watching Barnum to bolero.

Yes it was Milly. Deep down knowing they were likely to win, but hoping they would'nt fall over. I really enjoyed their routines, and can remember being so excited when I went to see their show at Wembley and giving Christopher Dean some flowers. :oops: :D
