The country’s caretaker sports minister called for an investigation "to take the required steps to avoid harming Lebanon’s reputation" and Lebanon’s Olympic Committee condemned the skier’s behaviour.
I think Lebanon might have bigger fish to fry in terms of its reputation!
Would love to see a public school vs state school break down of the GB competitors, like they did for the summer games.
I don't know but not many public or state schools do most of the sports in these Olympics so I suspect its just a case of people going down to a club and having a go rather than going to Uni or having a background in the sport like rowing or sailing.
Very interesting that many of the winter olympic athletes have the background from mainstream sports lizy was a heptathlete and amy williams was a 400 mtr hurdler

In other news that slopestyle skier probably regrets his choice of gangsta style strides for the Olympic...probably not the look he was hoping for.
The American who came fourth is a bit of a bad loser!

Kinda sad that we weren't able to follow the legacy handed down by eddie the eagle.
