Poor Aoife Hickey and Claire Bergin, all (!) they did was get good at a sport, train hard, get a good time and qualify for the Olympics Bobsleigh. This must be doing their heads in.
After the Australians get their berth back and the Irish are recommended to also keep a place in the competition, now the Brazilians are unhappy that the Irish are being allowed to remain – seemingly the Irish were late to start competing in the first place – eh is this not more reason they should be allowed in as they have shown themselves to be better than Brazil and Australia?
The Court of Arbitration of Sport will consider this matter tomorrow afternoon seemingly.
Suggest we all put a few quid on them and watch what happens – They must be good if they’ve had to face all these eleventh hour shenanigans…
By the way – you that knows about these things – what’s the name of the sport where women ski cross country, drop to the ground and shoot targets ala 007? Does it really exist or is somebody pulling my leg?
