Winter Olympics : Let the Games Begin!

[Silverbirchleaf]

For anything Winter Olympic related.

😭

We always seem to build medal hopes up too much.

Must admit, enjoying the commentary on the snow boarding. They're just excited about anyone who is good regardless of which country they're representing.

I've had to turn over to the ice dancing. The commentators on the Big Air are so shouty and jargony they aren't adding to it at all for me. I want it explaining, not "lads down the pub" yelling.

I so want to pull Mia's trousers up!

I agree, I think they have a really engaging tone and they're explaining it well

Must be me then. It's all gobbledegook to me.

Mia could get third.

(If she pulls her pants up - runs away)

Otherwise another 4th. 💐😞

Where's the channel with the dancing? Intriqed.

It’s on iPlayer

Currently watching the ski-jumping. They’re about to jump the second round on the “normal hill”. Which I think is 70m. I think they must all be bonkers!!

I was in Lillehammer last summer and we saw a child come down a 'normal hill' (artificial snow obviously!). Bloody terrifying.

They’re like Bill and Ted on ice.

Hold on to your pies, what's she eaten for dinner. Go Mia!

BBC iplayer, but it's finished now.

Yes! That's it exactly.

I think they're great. They're enthusiastic for the sport, really positive and funny phrases too.

It's still on, there are 23 couples in total- I'm watching it on TNT though.

The BBC coverage is so hit and miss with what they show (and then randomly cut off).

It's probably on Discovery plus too.

And I'm pleased that it looks like the 'number 2 ' British couple look like they have qualified for the Free programme, later in the week. I enjoyed their rhythm dance.

4th place for Mia Brookes

Hard luck Mia. You went for Gold 🥇 and didn't quite make it. Another 4th. x

A Moses.
God said to Moses, come forth...

( yes I know it's spelled differently)

Such a great watch. Well done Mia!

Well done to Mia- she's still really young (they have been talking about her a lot on the local news). Again,4th is painful, but hopefully she will come back stronger.
