Just watched the Men’s Freestyle Big Air final. It’s blokes skiing down a vertical hill then doing mid air tricks. No idea how it was scored but utterly brilliant and even a complete know nothing like me could see why the blokes who finished at the top were the best. Apparently, according to the BBC commentary team who added nothing to the experience, making no effort to explain the technical terms they use, this was the best Big Air (men’s freestyle) competition ever.

Now on to the curling, where only the result matters there is no action.
Talk about two extremes............. from air brilliance to setting the table for dinner, boring.

When you say on to curling Sb, do you mean you’re doing your hair for a night out?

I can see why only the result matters … shame you’re getting no action though, sorry to hear that buddy!! Better luck next week :emoticon-0142-happy

Curling just creases me up.
It is so painful I cannot watch.


But I just keep scrolling back.

4-1 up against a Japanese team that seem to have the same level of ability as I do


However Team Japan will come good and beat us...and I will be fast asleep...and only find out tomorrow
