Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Sir Steve Redgrave planning winter sports base

Quote:
Olympic legend Sir Steve Redgrave wants to build a long-track speed skating venue in the UK - and house other winter sports in the centre of it.

Redgrave, the vice-president of the British Olympic Association, is in Vancouver, where Team GB's only medal has been Amy Williams' skeleton gold.

Britain's five-time Olympic gold medallist is now starting to talk with potential private funding donors.

"A third of your medal chances could be under one roof," Redgrave said.

Speaking at a briefing for British media in Vancouver on Thursday, the former Olympic rower recalled how he was "taken aback" by the long-track speed skating venue he saw in Salt Lake City at the 2002 Winter Olympics, which had training facilities for other ice sports at its centre.

It is worth noting that Britain's only gold medal at the Vancouver Games has come in another sport with no British facility - skeleton

"Why haven't we got anything like this?" said Redgrave.

A good Idea, hope he pulls it off.

Very good idea. Even overseas there are not many of these long track facilities - so to have just one track puts you up there with the best, and its one of those sports you don't have to start when you are just out of nappies so should translate into medals relatively quickly..

He's right about the crossover as well, there must be many very talented cyclists who may be able to make a crossover.

Good luck to him.

We went to a world cup long track event in Calgary in DEc and watched the canadain women get a new world record at team pursuit. It was a very priviledged thing, to be able to see a world record in anything, let alone on home turf. I kept trying to explain it doesn't happen everyday to my 7 yr old son, who didn't quite understand the rarity of it.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

This is a good idea - if modelled on the velodrome in Manchester, with someone like Dave Brailsford running it.
