1 Gold 1 bronze so far :bounce:
Some of those tricks that the snowboarders to :o
-
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

HB ;D
Posher teatrays than I've got for sure.
-
;D not ones with wicker handles there but stainless steel ………...
-
I'd need handles, wicker or otherwise, brakes you name it. ;D
-
I would like one of the curlers to come and do my kitchen floor. ;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!
-
As a winter person I should be watching them but I haven't!

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!
-
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.
-
My ankles knock together when I put my boots on ::)
Ice Dance was good! Now watching the Team Ski-jump
-
Loved the Russian couple who did the Black Swan.
-
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.
-
Yeah! Well done Eve Muirhead & team. A bronze. I had tears in my eyes too.
-
YEAH! read the headline this very moment :bounce:
-
Roll on tomorrow's match. Guaranteed a silver, but gold would be good!
-
We've got a GOLD in the paras!!! but very little coverage :-\ :-X
-
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.
-
A bronze and a gold! and almost a bronze in another down-hill event but she came 4th
