    I think they'd increase the selection pool if they got more people involved. I reckon most people don't like being that cold, so maybe they should do it in summer instead.

    If I wasn’t bravely struggling through Covid I might have been there representing GB snowboarding*

    Definitely be watching it though

    There’s good and bad in both seasonal five ringed varieties, but I do enjoy the Winter one more I think.



    *Although tbf as I never attempted to qualify I suppose we’ll never know

    and who'd have known he could pilot a helicopter...

    I like a bit of curling.

    Good sport.

    Round robin.


    Avoids headlines that a pure knockout competition would inevitably bring.

    Today at the Winter Olympics; Curling, one out.

    Don't knock curling. It's the only thing we've beaten Australia at for yonks.

    Love the Winter Olympics. Prefer it to the Summer Olympics.

    Skiing is one of my favourite sports.

    Always feels like it gets going quicker than Summer olympics, with some exciting competition right from the start.

    Women's slopestyle snowboarding was great even in qualifying round

    I think one of the reasons why the Winter Olympics is better is that there are more sports with a serious element of jeopardy

    Luge is bonkers

    Those lunatics on the jumps, I’ve looked down one and believe me it’s ****ing high up. With a pair of wings strapped to you, you could definitely disappear into the distance lol and the ****ing wind up there, balls like cannon balls unless your a lady that is….
