egg position

The first skiers to adopt an aerodynamic

'egg' position were almost certainly the world's first speed skiers - the gold miners of the Californian mountains in the 1860s to 1880s, who used skiing as a relief from the terrible and dangerous working conditions they endured. They had little to fear, and had a taste for action.

egg position

France�s Jean Vuarnet didn�t just win the 1960 downhill gold medal; he changed the face of skiing. Not only was Vuarnet the first gold medallist to use metal skis and no wax, but he is also recognized for having invented the �egg position� for skiing

[sarumite]

Spoon may be golf ... it was formerly a golfing wood with an elevated face.

ok thanks for your help so far everyone- still missing answers for - hand in, miller, spoon, follower, laundry , circle, this one can be a few things but maybe is related to one sport more than any other, ohters i think i have right but maybe someone could confirm are -
axel - skating, brake man - bobsleigh, cover - snooker, down - rugby, bunt - fishing, hand in- netball.

[sarumite]

I don't think cover relates to snooker, but covers is a fielding position in cricket.

[sarumite]

I can confirm that axel is ice skating, and brake-man is bobsleigh, but it is touchdown (not just down) that is a rugby term.
