Bromley is feeling down but not out.Kristan Bromley Kristan Bromley (born March 7, 1972) is a British skeleton racer who has competed since 1996. Competing in two Winter Olympics, finshing fifth in the men's skeleton event at Turin in 2006. has vowed to continue his quest for Verb 1. quest for - go in search of or hunt for; "pursue a hobby" quest after, go after, pursue look for, search, seek - try to locate or discover, or try to establish the existence of; "The police are searching for clues"; "They are searching for the more skeleton glory despite agonisingly missing out on an Olympic medal at Cesana Pariol Cesana Pariol is the venue for bobsled, luge and skeleton during the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. The 1,435 meter track, built for the games, is located in Cesana, Italy. . The 33-year-old blew a promising first-run position of third to trail in fifth behind experienced Canadian pair of Duff Gibson and Jeff Pain. But Bromley - who watched girlfriend Shelley Rudman strike silver in the women's competition the previous night - insisted there was still more to come. Bromley said: 'At the minute I am still as up for it as anything - but now I am going to go away and not even think about skeleton for a couple of months. We were up there challenging for medals and that is where we wanted to be.' Bromley admitted a mistake on curve 14 of his second run probably cost him an Olympic medal having led on all split times up to that point with just the Canadians to come. It was a similar story for Adam Pengilly, who ranked narrowly behind Bromley in fourth place after the first run but saw a mistake on curve five cost him. Surprise contender Pengilly said he was 'gutted' by his failure to make the podium but pointed out his longer-term goal to come back and win a medal. Pengilly said: 'I only started four years ago and the whole aim was to win a medal in Vancouver.' DAVID David, in the Bible David, d. c.970 B.C., king of ancient Israel (c.1010–970 B.C.), successor of Saul. The Book of First Samuel introduces him as the youngest of eight sons who is anointed king by Samuel to replace Saul, who had been deemed a failure. Murdoch's men's curlers are one win away from a medal play-off after an emphatic 8-2 win over Sweden with three ends to spare at Pinerolo. Victory over Switzerland in today's afternoon session will effectively seal Murdoch's side a top-four place and with it at least a match for the bronze medal. |
