Winter Olympics

I'm sick of hearing about bloody Elise Christie. BBC seem to running an interview with her or a video about her every single day. Two weeks ago I'd never heard of her, now I can't get away from her - and she failed miserably! Yarnold won us a gold and she has been immediately forgotten. I don't get it. She's not even that attractive.

In other news it looks like Canada are struggling in the curling bronze medal match - for them to not get a medal in curling would be an unmitigated disaster as I understand!
Edit: Yeah, it's finished, no medal for Canada. They'll be burning effigies of the curling team back home!

The women curlers have kicked off against Sweden. Will be a tough match, this. Can see us losing but maybe winning the bronze match.

It's not my fault, really, in my office we've had the Olympics coverage on the TV. Curling seems to appear every single day.

GB are out of the semis, into the bronze medal match. We were well outplayed by Sweden there unfortunately.

Unbelievably, Canada have lost to Germany at hockey. I thought they'd be nailed on gold for that.

I was amazed by that, especially when I heard that Germany was having a totally NL player free homegrown team.

Then I read into it and nobody is having NHL players in there. This is obviously hurting Canada and the USA a lot harder than any other country. Germany has a professional league, Canada is sending 'students and retirees'.

Still, happily take the guaranteed silver medal. And if (once?) they find a doped Russian it's upgraded to gold anyway.
 
Camera view from the top of the bug air looks frightening.

Well done Billy. Rode his luck a little with many competitors pushing the 'go big or go home' mantra. Great to see a mens5snowboard medal.

Yep, great effort from Billy Morgan, the snowboard commentary is great generally, they're not very bbc in their delivery which is quite refreshing in itself, often pretty funny though eg, New Zealander crashes then seen holding head in hands, cue "Bottle that Up.....Eau de disappointment" was a highlight for me.
 
Disappointing end to the ladies curling and I liked the fact Eve Muirhead as captain took the option to go for broke and try and win it rather than playing safe and nudging into an extra end. Shame for her and the team it didn't come off
