Winter Olympics - Opening Ceremony this evening

[Silverbirchleaf]

Opening ceremony tonight, from 6.30pm on BBC2. Surprised it’s not on BBC1.

Every little helps !

Thry are Danish for the purposes of the Olympics (as are the Faroese). They are very good at biathlon, which the US would find out if they were ever foolish enough to invade…

Tom Daley designed them, they are Ben Sherman I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?

I feel for the DJ man on his tod. His loving the tunes though

Alison Reed of Lithuania?

Ooh! Ice dancing to Insomnia - deffo going to look out for that.

Just looked it up. Greenland sportsmen and women compete under the Danish flag, and there are a couple of Greenland skiers.

Love that Insomnia tune! It is a good tune

DJ is very good enjoying it

Love the Ben Sherman scarf 🛒

Madagascar are splendidly cheerful!

I'm flagging a little from the flags so had time to browse...

Macedonia could have much better coats with that flag.

Same. That sounds awesome.

Be still my beating heart….

Malta should be good at tobogganing. Don't they have those baskets down the main street thing?

Thank you. ❤️

We've got this far through the athletes' parade before I've realised the placards are supposed to look like blocks of ice.

Fuzzy, you are thinking of Madeira

I think that’s Madeira?

Bugger.

Yes and that's part of Portugal

They are biathletes (cross country skiing and shooting) and also brother and sister.

John Curry. They were both fab, but so different from each other.

Mother & son competing from Mexico? Gotta look that up...proper representative coasts as well...
