OK, so I should ask for a P (I think)

Re: Hangman
 

OK, I've been googling and "paragraph double three" seems to be a figure in skating. I coudn't find an image clear enough to see what it is, though.

Re: Hangman
 

And we have winner :arms:

It is one of the compulsory figures in figure skating, or rather it was until they decided to eliminate them from international competitions. This thrilling videoclip from the 2007 World Roller Skating Championships (they still remain a part of artistic roller skating) perhaps shows why....

Of course, figure skating cannot be considered a real sport, so I admit it was a bit sneaky.... :biggrin:

Your turn :jossun:

Re: Hangman
 

A bit sneaky? A bit sneaky???..... :misbas:


Ok. A great band and a magnificent song. :zyup:

Re: Hangman
 

:devil: "A bit sneaky" he said?
This is from the dictionary about the word "figure":
A person, especially a well-known one: a famous historical figure.
b. A person's public image or presence: became a tragic figure overnight
I was googling "sports + person + three" in various combinations but dismissing this skating term completely....
I like it :nod:

Can you spare an A ?

Re: Hangman
 

My dictionary gave me the go ahead though :lol::

I'll have an O, I think
