Lol, although he doesn't fit in this competition (sorry Crock, for not reading it more carefully), I just thought it was nice to bring Pidgeon McGrath up

I wish my sex life was like ECW, first you get a One Night Stand followed by 2 months of nostalgic orgasms and then 6 months of constant sucking.

For those playing at home, Stephen Bradbury was nominated by me because of the way he won his Gold Medal. Basically, he was coming in last, until the final lap, where everybody in front of him crashed into each other and fell down. He skated past them to pick up the Gold

Rep Power: 6 Toss is the European Champion


And the only reason he was in the final was because the same thing happened in his semi.

It was Australia's first ever Winter Olympic Gold Medal.
