Not really a fan of the Winter Olympics but it has been quite entertaining watching

[Billy Goat Sverige]

That Christie woman repeatedly crash, get disqualified and get carried off the ice in tears. She’s an absolute train wreck, and a menace.

Did exactly the same at the last Olympics, repeatedly rubbish.......although, i would say a couple of her DQ's have been more than a little harsh/fishy

I much prefer the Winter Olympics to the Summer Olympics.

I'm not that interested in any of the sports so I just want to watch something mildly entertaining. Sports like bob sledding, downhill skiing, speed skating and even curling are very watchable and enjoyable even if you never played them or particularly understand them. :shrug:

The Summer Olympics has synchronized swimming and gymnastics with a twirling ribbon, :rolleyes:

Far more danger associated with most winter sports, thus makes them inherently more exciting to watch. Saying that, I'm just a sports freak and will watch pretty much any sport (notable exceptions being snooker and the ones you mentioned)

I was rather surprised to learn that part of the criteria in the points system for figure skating is sexual chemistry.

I was even more surprised when I then saw a brother and sister duo performing last night :-O

True. It also seems to me that there are less sports that I see where the first thing I think of is what kind of drugs they must be taking to compete. Athletics, cycling and swimming, as three examples from the Summer Olympics, I don't even bother watching because they are nothing but tests of who dopes best.

Swimming doesn't get many failed tests does it?... Curling medalist failed a drugs test!

Perhaps we can give up on The Arsenal and start supporting a Curling team? Curlingwimb :cloud9:

I'm unsure over how exactly doping helps a Curler, tbh.

Lot of core body strength needed apparently, especially for the brushing.

Who knew.

It's only brushing ffs. Old women do it.

We actually had an entrant, competitor if you like.

Now same bloke should have had his shít kicked in for wasting people's time and money but I am not going to sit in judgement of him.

Oh, bravo! Well done to the Irishman. Which event did he enter and how did he get on?

OK, that did make me chuckle.

Big long dander with skis I believe it was.Came a credible 49th out of 300 or some such.

Very much the wrong tense there, r. RIP Big Bill Wobblycheeks.
