winter olympics - anyone watching?

[MrsLargeEmbodied]

love the curling

Me!

Am hurrying out this morning to get my errands done and be back in time for the speed skating. Hoping I've got the date/time right.

Any other events you are looking forward to @MrsLargeEmbodied

jamaican bobsled

anything - all fast and exciting,
also local lad on the skeleton team

@MrsLargeEmbodied I'm going to have to add the skeleton to my watch list now.

And I agree about it being fast and exciting.

I always get over invested in the Luge. It is very fast. And probably quite dangerous. It fascinates me.

And the curling. I've been watching the round robin/doubles event since Wednesday. We have been doing ok.

Did anyone catch the men’s cross country skiing this morning?

I only caught the end - what happened to Klaebo?

Yes .

Me me me!

Really keen on figure skating - only Teams events so far but already exciting!

I like whatever its called when 4 or 5 snowboarders go round the course together and people tend to fall over at the corners and first over the line wins. If anyone could tell me what it's called and when it's on I would be very grateful.

Snowboard cross I think hellocatshome. They also do the same thing on ski’s which is equally good. It starts in the 10th I think

Loving it all

The 15 year old figure skater from ROC - wow

The only thing I don't tend to enjoy is the ice hockey

@Hellocatshome

I like those, too! Thank you Frankin for the discipline/sport name. I just checked and saw that women’s snowboard cross start on Wednesday 9th.

Yes me! Love the figure skating, can't work out the scoring at all though

@BeaLola

Yes, she was mesmerizing!

I love watching the slopestyle skiing - I have no idea what most of it is but the commentators are so enthusiastic

I think you need a 3 year old to understand the figure skating scoring

I can't believe that in an olympics so many are disqualified from the Mixed Team ski jumping - 4 years plus and they happens !

@Deauville12422

Did anyone catch the men’s cross country skiing this morning?

I only caught the end - what happened to Klaebo?

Classic is not his strength I don't think. Altitude? Saving himself for the sprints tomorrow when he realised he was not going to do well.

Thank you @impossibletoday.

Can’t decide between the speed skating and cross country skiing this morning.

loving it so much better than watching the news etc, stunning scenery etc?

@Huntswomanonthemove , I just love Kamila Valieva too, I hope she competes again soon (like tomorrow)!
I've watched more videos of her skating on You Tube and there is a video from when she competed age 5 which is simply memorising!

Breaking scandal

@FajitaBonita , goodness, thanks for sharing

Oh no, wonder why if it's not performance enhancing? She was amazing to watch.

Loved that Lindsey Jacob-Ellis finally got her gold today - remember watching her in Turin in 2006 & couldn't believe what she did to lose the gold. So pleased she's finally got it!

We've been enjoying the figure skating, speed skating and curling.

I have not been enjoying the skiing backwards doing jumps. Why would anyone want to do that??!

Did anyone else see the French (?) competitors dance in the male (free?) skating routines to Star Wars? Thought it was excellent, just such a shame he fell. Worth trying to watch if you missed it.

I've kept meaning to watch some of it, but have been too busy with my Playmobil version!
