    It's more a reflection of who gets invites, or has the finance to travel to the big ranking tournaments.

    Bottle kicking returns, starting off the Traditional British Sports season. Characterised by drunkeness, high laundry bills and regular visits to hospital.

    Planning to revive that great 1980s Institution the Friendship Games, both Summer & Winter!  Thomas Bacholympicgoldmedalfencing1976 not very keen, but only because he never won any medals at it.

    Actually a much weirder story than that!  Cipulis  crashed on the second run, which would have cost him 2nd Place in the World Cup but……his crash damaged the track which was eventually decided to be too dangerous to race, so his crash didn’t count!

    I remember about 20 years ago when I first started watching CC I was in a discussion on another web forum with a guy saying that it was a mistake for the FIS to get rid of the 50k TT. And I think he was right - we see huge gaps here, even between the experienced guys, never mind the club amateurs.
