  • Shelley Rudman Joins Procter & Gamble to Launch Sochi 2014
    Press Information: 29th October 2013 Shelley Rudman joins Procter & Gamble to launch Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games Thank You Mum Campaign Procter & Gamble, a Worldwide Olympic Partner, today announces Skeleton World Champion and Olympic Silver Medallist, Shelley Rudman, an aspiring Team GB member, has joined its global family of athletes. The announcement also kicks off P&G’s Thank You Mum campaign, which pays tribute to Mums around the world, and as the Winter Olympic Games approach is highlighting those mums who raise world class athletes. Shelley is one of the UK’s medal hopes for the Sochi Games. Shelley originally from Wiltshire, used to work in teaching, now lives and trains in Sheffield and won Britain’s only medal (Silver) of the Turin 2006 Olympic Winter Games. That success was followed by an 18-month break from the sport when she had her first child with partner and fellow Team GB skeleton slider hopeful, Kristan Bromley. If Shelley is picked to compete for Team GB in Sochi, in addition to being accompanied by her mum and dad, Shelley will have lots of family support in Russia, including from her six-year-old daughter, Ella. Shelley comments, “I am incredibly excited about the possibility of being selected for Sochi 2014. Going into the event as World Champion has given me much more confidence, but also comes with the added pressure of expectation! It’s been a long journey to get to this point and I have so much to thank my mum for. She has always been my rock over the years of training, including all the highs and the lows, so it’s a fantastic boost to me that P&G will enable me to have my mum at the track in Sochi cheering me on!” As part of the Sochi 2014 Thank You Mum campaign, P&G is paying tribute to mums around the world through the Raising an Olympian film series.

  • Death Or Glory: Simon Usborne Rides the Cresta Run [IMAGES] You Wonder If It's Not Too Late to Back out When the Day Starts with the Death Talk
    Published: Feb 2010 – independent.co.uk Author: URL: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/olympics/death-or-glory-simon-usborne-rides- the-cresta-run-1892127.html Death or glory: Simon Usborne rides the Cresta Run [IMAGES] You wonder if it's not too late to back out when the day starts with the Death Talk. As David Payne, the man in charge, prepares our group for an assault on the world's oldest and most terrifying toboggan run, a grisly composite of X-rays hangs against a window. "As you can see," Payne says, "it is possible, some would say likely, for you to break every part of your body riding the Cresta Run." The shattered pelvis bound with what looks like a bicycle chain belongs to a man who crashed and "died three times on the operating table". He lived to ride another day, but four men have lost their lives here. Would I soon join them? The death talk wrapped up, the disclaimer signed, the knee, elbow and gladiator-style knuckle guards strapped on, the crash helmet cranked tight and the steel-spiked shoes laced up, I lie prone on a 40kg tea tray, my chin inches from the ground. Every muscle is tense. A man's boot planted in front of my sled is the only thing stopping me from hurtling, headlong and with limited control, down a steep, winding chute of ice at 50mph. Shivering with cold and fear, I grip my toboggan as if my life depends on it – which it does. And then the man removes his foot.

As recently as the Japan Nationals in late December, she failed to properly land a triple Axel and ended up placing third, prompting some commentators to suggest she omit the jump from her routine altogeth- er. Asada may well take heed of the warnings because in Sochi she will again face long-time rival Kim Yuna of South Korea, the reigning Olympic Lydia Lassila champion, who sat out the Grand Prix circuit to recover from injury but has since performed strongly. Kim, 23, hopes to end her competitive career by becoming the first woman to win two Olympic gold figure skating medals since Katarina Lassila keen to Witt in the 1980s.
