Historic first medal for UnHeard Of Islands

The UnHeard Of Islands have sent their strongest ever winter olympics team to Italy, and already a medal has been won.

Local athlete Eileen Brophy took the bronze medal this week in the Women's Luge event.

When critics alleged that she had gained an unfair advantage through use of a flying carpet, Kofi Annan called for tolerance toward the technology of other cultures.

Her performance has already inspired a film script. Cool Runnings 2 is the planned follow-up to the 1993 film about the Jamaican bobsleigh team.
