Watched slopestyle skiing yesterday. How the devil do they manage to ski backwards & not do themselves a mischief?  ;D

Lizzie Yarnold was amazing!

May be some more medals in the curling.

The sliding down a hill on a tea tray was very impressive  ;D

My daughter found a brilliant quote about the Winter Olympics on-line ... something along the lines of:

The Olympics is a fantastic show-case of sport ....
The Winter Olympics is 48 different sorts of sliding!!!

BTW - I'm loving the Winter Olympics!!  Even keep on eye on my favourite events (curling and figure skating) at work - gotta love the internet!

Watching men's curling just now. Go GB!

Loved watching, luge, skeleton, figure skating.  Also enjoy some of the speed skating events and really enjoyed the snowboard racing yesterday.

Snowboard  :o would you have tried it if the sport had been around in our younger days  ;D

Ice skating at 3.00 p.m.; some of the down hill events have been postponed due to thick fog …… UK curling is doing REALLY WELL  :-*

Not sure CLKD. Went skiing in my teens with church group. Army were doing all the training. We froze in bunk beds, froze during the day. It was when there were all the power cuts in the early 70s, so nothing dried out overnight. We put out wet clothes each day, washed our dishes on cold water outdoors. But we had a brilliant time! Think I'd probably have liked to give it a go though.

Another Match tomorrow ……….. to see if the curling Team gets into the semi-finals  :o

I did ice skate on the rivers when frozen and once on a rink.  I would never have been brave enough to ski and I think that the recent snow boarding events have been developed from skate boarding ………. OK if one begins early enough!
