Like the cooler, less wanky Summer Olympics. Some top class events like that make for great viewing. Watching the Japs v Swedes in the bird's ice hockey at the minute. Great game. Didn't realise for about 5 minutes when I started watching that it was birds playing; very fast paced and some hard tackling and good skill. I like the winters like. BBC usually does some decent coverage too.

I had a cracking weekend in Milan, the figure skating was incredible to see live and the ice hockey atmosphere was brilliant. 

Add to that tremendous food & wine 😊

 

I love ice hockey but it’s difficult when I follow the Canucks and all the teams I hate are doing well

That's not much different to following the Dons.

Has anybody asked what she thinks about the manager situation yet?

She just missed out on a bronze!!

Gutting for her - missed out by 0.41 or something like that

 

Yes the commentators thought she had it so I was quite excited- fine margins 

She still has another event to go. And she's young, so she could have another crack in four years.

Some of the comments on the BBC about her are disgraceful.

Did they call her English?

I think she is amazing imagine being that good and missing out by a fraction cause the standard is so high.

No, I meant the comments on the article on the BBC website.

My knees hurt just watching the Big Air event. 

Fingers crossed for the lad in the skeleton but Team GB seem to be having a bit of a mare so far.

Kirsty Muir is in qualification for the Freestyle Skiing Wifie's Big Air this evening from 1830.

Why does the British team perform so poorly in the Winter Olympics yet persistently punch above their weight in the summer version. Odd. 

Always enjoy watching the speed skating, but not seen any major crash outs yet.

There's no world class facilities for most Winter sports in the UK such as bobsleigh and the other slidey sports.

Aye, investment basically. It's also not really a London thing. 

That would make sense. As a tournament it bores me rigid but I do expect Scotland (GB) to do better at the curling and I noticed they lost to Italy the other day. That's surely unacceptable. 

Matt Weston wins his second gold of the games for GB.

That's him a stick-on for Sports Personality of the Year unless England win the World Cup.

Wouldn't be so sure. Is he gay?
