People going very fast downhill, in the snow, on skis. People going very fast downhill, in the snow, on snowboards. People going downhill very fast, on ice, in bobsleighs. People going very fast in circles, on ice, with skates.
I can't wait, me.

OOPS.....this should be in general disrespect.
-
I like Ski Sunday.
-
Does that mean the Limp Dicks are starting? Thanks for the heads up, I'll avoid the BBC.
-
Unlike the Summer Olympics which I don't watch any of the Winter Olympics I do watch some of bobsleigh,ski jumping, speed skating for starters :y

Athletic young maidens in Lycra onesies, I should think you are M’Lud ;)

The "normal" Olympics leaves me cold, boring as hell.
However, really enjoy the winter games and look forward to them. Pity I'm away till Sunday.
Maybe they'll have Whippet Snowboarding sometime.

Sure to be on youtube. The whippet will probably be wearing designer shades. :)

Although I don't actually have one, the whippet is a lovely dog. I would have qualms in owning one. Having a dog stops you becoming overweight and unfit, I'll wager there's a few on here could benefit. :)

That should be 'no qualms' :-[

Augmented reality. :y
Go on then! How do they do that??

It's like the Olympics, just not as important.

I like the Olympic as well, not as sad as Titanic, Britannic sunk as well. :'(
-
I have a book[can't be bothered at present to go look up the title]about a nurse/nanny who was on the Olympic when it collided with the cruiser,she transferred to Titanic and survived the sinking and was later on the Britannic when that went down and she survived that one too :o In fact she lived on into very old age.

As ever, potentially good coverage being amateurishly ruined by the insistence of Beeb management of heading every major sporting event with Bloody Claire Bloody Balding >:(
The wealth, breadth and depth of knowledge contained in her bonce barely qualifies her for mucking out horses, which is where she would still be were it not for the fact that her father is friends with the Queen ::)
Thank god for Eurosport :y
-
The Russian girl in the curling is pretty easy on the eye! :-* :y

:D Loved it when she went T over A on the ice ;D
-
What bugs me is the "over the top" commentators going absolutely hysterical. Yes DG, and Clare bloody Balding. >:(
-
All sports commentators go way over the top at the slightest thing - especially that squeaky lesbo, Baldwin!

Bbc highlights of the day. Dumbed down rubbish.
Been out all da and just wanted to see the highlights not so called experts/ has beens? Mr T tweet. Wtf.
-
Have we got a medal of any description yet?
Snowman building? Snowball fight? Skating in just your shoes? :-\
-
Last winter Olympics in Sochi British speed skating lass crashed out of the race.This time round she.......crashed out of the race,so maybe we should get a medal in falling down :D

Definitely not driving in snow we’d be the laughing stock ;D

Doesn't look like it

I think we almost got something in Curling, a "sport" that was invented as an alternative to watching paint dry ::)

I believe they originally used stale haggis as a stone.

I believe we are a shoe-in for a medal in the 'driving badly in the snow' event
-
We've got the games streaming here, we focus on Skiing, particularly when the Norwegian women are taking part. ::) :-X 8)

I reckon we'd tie with the Russians on that one, which would still be a commendable effort given how much practice they get.

I hear today that some of the PC brigade are now taking umbridge because the commentators are calling the women "girls". Whatever next, bloody snowflakes. :'(

I really enjoy the Winter Olympics (except the Curling!), skiing, snowboarding, bob, luge etc etc
However . . . . the amount of TV time that is just some really boring people sitting aound a table yakking is staggering. Dragging on someone who won Gold in Figure skating 40 years ago, who can contribute nothing to the conversation, and showing old video. And the the BBC compiling touchy-feely videos with tinkling "emotional" piano music. FFS >:(
I was amused at one stage. The backdrop to the chat table is all suitably Korean, city scenes throught a big window etc. Claire Balding asked one comentator about when she was actually leaving to go to South Korea. Till then I actually thoight they were in South Korea.
Just get on and show the competitions, even if they are repeats due to the time difference
-
:D I saw the poor French figure skater flashing her nipple when her outfit fell apart , that brightened up a dull day :y
-
So, BB failed to get a medal in ladies curling, bronze went to Japan.
Japan Team - Cheerful, giggly, and pleasant, and having fun
GB Team - Miserable. po faced lot who looked like they'd been sucking lemons, and that was before they were beaten.
-
Watching on the news this morning anybody would've thought we were the greatest ever.They were going nuts over the fact that we'd won[up to that point]a grand total of......5 medals :-[
-
Whole games totally over hyped by the Beeb, as usual.

Claire bloody Balding notwithstanding, if the Games hadn't been shown by UK broadcasters you would be moaning about how unpatriotic they all are...
We may not have won many medals, but at least we turned up and tried... ;)

Yes, and we do have 5 medals which is a tremendous achievement when you consider most of the successful teams in these games are full of individuals who are born with skis or snowboards welded to their feet. Unlike our children who hardly see any snow and ice in any real quantity, the Scandavian, Germanic, Swiss, Americans, etc kids either have to get around on the stuff as soon as they can walk, or they have mountain ranges they can practice on.
That makes one hell of a difference. :y

We can usually poach someone who's grandmothers sister was born in the UK. We have Canadian boxers and tennis players who represent Great Britain, so we need to offer a few foreigners citizenship of our wonderful country.

Well said Lizzie.
Had to smile. The Russians are still cheating re doping. Why on earth an athlete needs drugs to participate in curling is beyond me.

Perhaps it would relieve the tedium of doing housework on ice? ;D

So if the weather forecasters have got it right then, by the end of next week we,ll have a nation of world beaters. 8)
