Incidentally...

... Patrick Singleton of Bermuda did not win gold in the men's skeleton, so Estonia's per capita record is looking safe as houses. Singleton finished 19th, as you can see on the official results page. Note also on that page that Kiwi Ben Sandford finished 10th in that event.

I think I'll just repeat that for good measure:

A New Zealander secured a top ten spot at the Winter Olympics in Turin.

But do you think Sandford gets a mention on the sports pages of the New Zealand websites? Not yet, no.

Not winning? Not interested. A disappointing attitude, if you ask me.
