The 6th? Are you talking about Laura or Polly?!

Meh! Either way, I don't think either of them deserve anything less than 100% respect and admiration. :confused:

Well the quote on H&H report stated Laura had "apparently gone to ground". Yes she must have been gutted and she had a lousy day but you suck it up for 5 mins and you give a quote to the journalists...then by all means go to ground!

Absolutely right. She will learn to take the rough with the smooth and bounce back but in all her other team experiences things have gone very well and she has rather been put on a pedestal so it was a long way for her to fall. The first step is to get out there today with a smile on her face and support her team mates. The wound licking can be done in private later on.
 
Completely agree oldvic, and it will be tough for her, as she's had an incredibly successful (and well deserved) set of results at championship level before, so this will be the first time she's had a real "crash", but it's only the beginning for her :)
 
having said that, she has been very graceful in adversity before - when both top horses were injured and when she had to be left out of one of the teams because she didn't have a lower level qualifying run (or something). Still - sure she will have pulled herself together overnight and be out there with the others willing those German poles to fall!! :p:p:D

I can't either :(. I only have freeview though, and on the BBC website it doesn't say weather freeview can get it or not :confused:. Oh well, looks like I will just have to watch the live results page!!!!!!
 
All we can say is that (given it'll be likely the Germans get team gold) is that 8 consecutive golds is one hell of an achievement, bad prep run good final run (given next summer), the Germans are always tough to beat on home soil and of course so are the Brits :D
