My mum refused to let me go ice skating! Her excuse, being a terrible snob, too many riff raff! I ask you! Same with swimming. I was finally allowed in p7 because whole class were being taught.

By the time I was old enough to do what I liked, ice rink had gone. My neighbour's granddaughter travels the country to attend ice skating completions.

I have enjoyed the ice skating but some of the competitors are MAD flying along at 80 miles an hour on a tea tray.

Any sport done at the highest level can often be worth watching even if it is all a bit of a mystery as to just how the points and medals are awarded to the competitors!

Curlers through!  The girl who knocked herself out on one of the down hills is not being allowed to continue, quite rightly.  Too many sports people continue when they have had a head injury  >:(

It's snowing hard!

First thing I checked when I woke this morning. Yeah! That last shot was pure magic. 

Bit of a blow for the skier, but much better to miss her chance. Head injuries should always be taken seriously.

Roll on tomorrow's match. Guaranteed a silver, but gold would be good!

Coverage is pants. Every time I switch it on it's ice hockey, which I don't like. We don't have the benefit of the red button option either.
