    Excellent - Lizzie Yarnold has won the orange medal and Laura Deas just missed out on the grey, but got brown instead.

    Well done ladies!

    Is it just me, or is that Elise Christie really irritating?

    I reckon her fellow competitors find her pretty irritating too. She always takes at least one of them out as well as herself.

    That dead heat in the bobsleigh yesterday was bloody great.

    Was watching it live and still don't know how the **** it happened.

    Embarrassing really but if you wanted to protest about folk 'picking' their origins that's the way to do it. :emoticon-0116-evilg

    Norway have won more medals in these games, than we’ve won in 100 years, we need the events to be tweaked a bit...

    Dave Ryding our Olympic hopeful medalist in the Slalom came a credible 9th.

    He's done well on the World Cup circuit. He's probably the only World Cup slalom skier that began learning on an artificial ski slope in Pendle.

    Maybe witch power.

    Why would a curler need to use drugs? The husband and team mate of the Russian curler with weird eyes has tested positive for some form of drug.

    Because it’s really boring unless you’re off your tits.

    Actually when you get to know it, curling is quite good. Especially when you have six months of winter. Still, my mum said tripe and onions were quite good but that's another story. As for boring, some of the threads on here make curling pale in comparison but I keep coming back :)

    Brilliant for him
    Wasn’t expecting it either. I haven’t seen it yet but apparently he pulled out a new trick he’d not done before

    Congratulations to the lad. But what does it say about the Olympics when something called "snowboard big air" is an event?
