Love the biathlon (ski - shooting).
Ski like the clappers without being so knackered to shooting a small target in a standing and a prone position.
The ski-jumpers all should be sectioned.
l’ve been up to the top of the incline at Holmenkollen, Oslo. It is, l think, terrifying. <yikes><yikes>

Sorry, I'm not clever enough to put video directly on.

It is in China, I will not watch a minute of it, on principle

If you haven't got anything in your house from China I will be utterly amazed.
You are correct of course, I have in the last year or so decided to try to buy nothing from China, it is very difficult, and of course even some of the stuff marked 'made in Italy' for example, may have Chinese parts
Vast majority of brands these days are outsourced to China, Russell Hobbs for example, loads of traditional UK
names, this is the case everywhere in the world
Volvo has been owned by a Chinese company since 2010, and two of their current models in the UK are made there
They also own MG, the latest 4 x4 which is advertised all over the shop, is made there
It is not just just the humanitarian issues, it is a cynical and sinister approach from the Chinese
 
looking forward to the nornal hill jumping today although the Poles are massively out of form. Mind Stoch is an all time great who can beat anyone on his day
 
skeleton is even crazier, "I know let's slide down this bobsled track head first on a tea tray"
I've considered this and at least head first you don't run the risk of smashing bollocks first into something at 80 plus mph.

Litterally balls of steel to even try it
