What a fantastic performance and achievement!

Just to show she's a real Brit she lists her interests as knitting and listening to The Archers.

Right......so get up, knit socks with individual toes, listen to the Grundys'n'Shula Archer'Brian Aldridge then slide face down an ice track on a tea tray.

Go home, go to bed and repeat.

All in a day's work.

Fuggin' brilliant.

Somewhere Jazzer is thinking, "She single?"

Not to mention the fact that she can slide down an ice and concrete tube, head first at 80mph+ with her face about four inches off of the ground.

I would be soiling my undercrackers at about 15 mph.

Amazing.

head first at 80mph+ with her face about four inches off of the ground.

About two cm, roughly ¾ of an inch, it’s not unusual for the chin-piece of the helmet to hit the ice on bumpy sections.
My response: shit-making terror!
And a superb performance from Lizzie, and another great run from Laura Deas to get Bronze as well, two of our team on the podium.
Well done ladies!
