Great stuff from him - he's from my area in Scotland and has just come back having had his leg put back together with loads of metal. Touch and go as to walking properly for a while...let alone ski racing!
Hope he puts in a great performance...he really deserves to be there.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

- Actually, Alain Baxter WAS tipped as a medal possible before the SLC Olympics. Doug Sager tipped him in Ski Canada's Olympic preview edition.

My brother has raced him in the RAF. He is a very , very good, natural skier from the reports I have had. He is also a top bloke, so good luck and all the best to him.

paulhothersall, er..... didn't you watch the previous year's WC finals???? 4th then - consisten top15 2 seasons in a row - it wasn't exactly a major shock!
Saw Roger Cruikshank have a good run somewhere last year (on TV) - looked good for a WC rookie.

top 15, awesome, but until that run in the olympics I never quite saw the ultimate magic. Most skiers don't have it, instead being technically near flawless. The super elite seemto have the god given ability to take it just that little bit further.
