An army of orcs, trolls, Nazgûl and other foul beasts at our borders? Sounds like something to lose :d 

 

Now that's no way to talk about the Belgians :d

How on earth could Wayde van Niekerk and Fijian rugby team be nominated for the breakthrough of the year? :wacko:

And how on earth can one of the biggest names in current sports win "breakthrough of the year" after already being a consistent race winner and finishing 2nd in the world championship standings in the two previous years?

Well, unlike Fiji rugby team and Wayde van Niekerk, he went from being second to first. Small as it is, it's still a breakthrough. :p

Looking at those names, it's mostly a prize for "Best athlete or team who didn't quite make the cut in the list for the real prize" :lol:

    • What about her view on putting handball etc to winter and tempons bob/skeleton/nordic combins etc?
    • Ben Hebert: "... We have a hockey mentality on our curling team, we’re not going to be bullied and pushed over by a bunch of Swedish guys out there that are getting their a**es handed to them." “We didn’t have any of that, we finished at the top of the podium with the gold and they finished dead last, so I think that says a lot.” Hebert is long known in curling media circles for not being afraid to speak his mind, and he didn’t let up in his ire when it came to the genesis of the entire situation -- Eriksson. “That snake in the grass,” Hebert said. “The stuff he tried to pull at the Olympics is not very Olympia of him… I lost a lot of respect for him with the stuff he tried to pull. He’s won the Olympics, they’ve won Grand Slams, they’ve won World Championships, and when they were at the high of their peak, you never saw that stuff from him. These last two or three years, they’ve been on a brutal stretch and pretty irrelevant in the curling world, haven’t won anything, they’re out of the Grand Slams, dead last in the Olympics puts a stamp on that.."
