It's the start of the Winter Olympics for the Playmobil people in our house...

[SoMuchToBits]

... and so I'll be bringing you a few scenes every day.

Today is the opening ceremony. Skater Andrei arrives in the stadium with the Olympic torch.

Yes, they have nothing but the best equipment! Conditions in Playmoland are perfect again today!

Looks like an impressive run by Sven and Lars.

Thank you @petalpower yes they were very pleased! Who knows, they might win gold!

That is excellent. Thank you, lovely colour bobsleigh too!!

Thank you, I'm pleased you like it! Although Playmobil have only ever made two bobsleighs (the other one was yellow) and this was the only one I was able to obtain for a reasonable price on eBay!

Glad they didn’t crash!

So am I @ChessieFL although that would have made a dramatic photo!

Newbie here, what a great thread. Looking forward to more curling this weekend? I loved your skating and snowboarding pictures @SoMuchToBits - thank you.

I'm so late to this, but I'm going to start at the beginning and wallow!
Thank you SoMuch

Thank you both! Welcome Wobbly, hope you enjoy your first experience in Playmoland! Good to see you Fuzzy, had wondered where you were, as I know you are a regular on Playmo threads!

Hope you both enjoy the action.

I love it, love it, love it.
Such hard work SoMuch and it's just glorious. And much better than the human Olympics (I'm not going to call them the real ones).

But I am missing those naughty Puddingheads. Couldn't they make a small appearance. Running a burger van for the athletes as part of their community payback programme?

I'm not sure that burgers produced by the puddingheads would be the healthiest diet for Olympic athletes!

I'm sure they wouldn't, but if the Puddingheads thought they could make a healthy profit....

(I was going to suggest they bought them from Iceland, to stay with the winter theme)

And they'd charge extra for lettuce.

I'm not sure the puddingheads even know what lettuce is (too healthy!)

But they would nick it given the chance!

Only if they thought they could make money out of it!

They would. Extra on a rubbish-burger!

Very smooth bobsleigh!

@SoMuchToBits I'm really enjoying this. I have followed all of your Playmo events over the years and they have all been brilliant!

Thank you everyone! Looking forward to tomorrow, should be a good day at the winter PlaymOlympics!

What will it be today I wonder?!

Today is the women's figure skating. Svetlana is first up.

Next is Zinaida...
