Hi Skaters,
I have just read a whole lot of nonsense on the Hyper board from some people who obviously do not know a good speed skater from a Sunday recreational Hack & the tragedy is, many people are taking a lead from what they are saying. About why their Junior men Failed, yes some were definately overweight & Fast food Franchise visitors But!
1/ THE BEST SKATER NOT TO WIN A WORLD MEDAL IN SPAIN - THE USA JUNIOR KEITH CARROLL.
2/ THE UNLUCKIEST SKATER NOT TO WIN A GOLD - THE USA JUNIOR KEITH CARROLL.
3/ THE SKATER THAT MOVED ME THE MOST - KEITH CARROLL USA JUNIOR.
I left the grandstand with my gammy Hip,walked down & up the stairs to console a distraut young man, whose campaign had been wrecked, by bad luck & unfortunate crashes, it was little consulation to him at the time that I shook his hand & touched his shoulder & told him he was the unluckiest skater here, but he was a great skater & would have his day, I also shed a few tears for the young man, to give so much & end up with nothing was a crime, even though he was from the Mighty USA I really hurt with him.
I would only do this if it was exceptional.
So don't any of you sideline critics say they were no good, this guy was special & as good as the Hot Shot Colombians.
I have long forgotten my password to the Hyper board,one time I used to be the chief contributer, but the great JL wipe the posts syndrome & the stupid personal rubbish that invaded the board, was not the best, so I give it a miss. I came accross the article on Canadian Petes site.
