Blimey, 4th place is a real scream... just kidding, Laurie Taylor's got skills! I mean, who wouldn't want to ski down a mountain and not die? But seriously, that's an awesome finish for him, especially considering he was leading for most of the second run. And GB's team performance is looking good, like they're on fire... or should I say, on snow? The coach seems pretty stoked too, and who can blame them? 2 guys in the top 7 is a big deal!
I'm telling you, something's fishy about this slalom event . I mean, have you noticed how all of a sudden Brazil is on fire in skiing? First they join and then BAM! Lucas Pinheiro Braathen wins it all already . What's the real story here? Is there some secret sponsorship deal or something? And what about Dave Ryding? He was 7th, but he looks like he's running on fumes . Is he really retiring or is this just a clever distraction from his "real" plans? I'm not buying it, GB's team is clearly being manipulated somehow . Mark my words, there's more to this story than meets the eye .
