Title: British slider Amy Williams wins Olympic skeleton
Post by Ian Ashleigh on Today at 12:16

This is a headline on the BBC website today celebrating Amy Williams' Gold Medal in the Skeleton Bob event which to me is throwing yourself down the track on a tea-tray.

Is the headline writer aware of 'The Hypertension Kid' and the lyric reproduced below

"But I love the little darlings" sighed the Kid
"The slide from grace is really more like gliding
And I've found the trick is not to stop the sliding
But to find a graceful way of staying slid."

Hearty congratulations to Amy Williams.
