La Plagne Thrills Guests With Bobsleigh Track
La Plagne has opened it's Olympic bobsleigh run to the public to give those thrill seekers the chance to test out speeds up to 80km/h. The four seater "Bob Raft" allows novices to test the water with the comfort of knowing the steering and breaking is done for them. There's also the opportunity to have a go in a "Taxi Bob" which is guided by a professional pilot and can reach speeds of 110 km/h - yet still a mere 20km/h slower than the pros!
At the beginning of the season, there was an organised run for all the local tour oporators, including Mark Warner. Our very own ski hosts and Shelly from the CS team from the Chalethotel Christina, went along and had a go. It was all filmed by TF1 for the reginal news.
Take a look at the clip and see the guys flash their MW jackets!

Players do not want "big name" for GB captain- Draper
LTA chief executive Roger Draper believes John Lloyd's exit as Davis Cup captain has left a "great opportunity" for a young British coach.
Lloyd resigned after GB lost to Lithuania a fortnight ago - his 5th straight Davis Cup reverse.
Former British number one Greg Rusedski is the favourit to replace him but Draper hinted otherwise. "They want somebody who is embedded in British tennis. It's a great opportunity for some young British coaches to come through.

Andy's Defence
Andy Murray will begin his defence of one of the biggest titles of his career next week as the Sony Ericsson Open gets underway in Miami. The Brit defeated current world number two Novak Djokovic to win the trophy last year, the result being that he heads to Crandon Park with serious ranking points to defend. And with the rest of the world's top 10 entered (minus Nikolay Davydenko) it's looking tough.

Ski Cross - We Love it!
Ski cross seems to be the event of the Winter Olympics. We have been griped to it in the office. So what is it? Competitors race down a specifically adapted course to encompass both natural and artificial terrain including jumps, rollers and banks.
American Daron Rahlves has described it as; 'Motocross on skis with a little NASCAR and bull riding thrown in there.' It's certainly not for the faint hearted. Check out some youtube links below.
