I am, I'm from that bit of Italy so looking forward to looking forward to seeing lots of places I recognise/I've been to.

My dad has predicted pizzocheri will feature in the opening ceremony (a typical pasta from Valtellina)

buona noite (didn’t even use translate! 😂)

Gaby Logan's dad died very recently so maybe she's only covering UK sports at the moment so she's home with her family every night.

Oh I think I saw some backlash to a tweet about that

hope she is resting well

The guy with the black painted face made me uncomfortable, even if it’s probably to represent the Olympic circles

He has presented cricket and horse racing I think for the BBC, so is slowly becoming part of the sports team. He played professionally cricket I think and possibly semi pro football? He’s young, does the social media bit, so it’s about bringing in younger viewers i think.

Show quote history

agree, I just don’t like him 😂

he’s done well though - wonder if Jojo Siwa will pop up

Just googled, looks like she isn’t part of the winter coverage.

Is she usally? She is the Olympics for me

her and Denise Lewis and Colin (who randomly came out as gay even though we all thought he was 😂🥰)
