I like the bobsleigh as well. It looks spectacular. And it was the source of one of Britain’s rare Winter Olympics gold medals, albeit “before my time”.
Not (quite) before my time and I vaguely recall all the well-deserved hoopla following the victory. Nash and Dixon were in the army and the latter was an aristocrat, later becoming the 3rd Baron Glentoran, and happily still alive in his 92nd year.
A nice example of the sporting ‘corinthian spirit’, which also applies to the unfairly ridiculed Eddie the Eagle.
Hope they both enjoy the latest renewal.
