Wall and women’s bob tackle Torino on Day 10
20 Feb 2006
Australia will have two major interests in action on 20 February
(Day 10), with Bradley Wall contesting the giant slalom in alpine
skiing and the women’s two-man bobsleigh starting its campaign.
Wall will be looking to better his 33rd placing at Salt Lake City
2002 when he takes to the slopes at Sestriere Colle. The
26-year-old wants to break into the top 30 in the first of his two
runs to ensure better conditions.
