Winter Olympics : Let the Games Begin!

[Silverbirchleaf]

For anything Winter Olympic related.

Is he a British train?

Only if leaves are involved.

Robin sounds at a loss too

god Clare’s gonna have a baby right there and then!

Omg 8th!!!

Bugger me, he’s come 8th!

OMG 8th?

8th! Faaaack.

Trump's going to blame the ice, isn't he?

Good on him to go over and congratulate the winner. That’s class.

Oh bless him he's in shock.

Well done 👏

The Kazakhstan guy taking a while for it to sink in.

I think the winner seems really sad winning that way

Wow!

Robin may be speechless,- but I hope there is no backlash against the one who came first.

I mean in the grand scheme of things 8th in the Olympics is bloody amazing, but still, we were all told he was a shoe in and no one else should bother turning up.

As Clare will know from racing, there’s no such thing as a certainty!

He had the biggest hair, so obviously the real shoe in.

Definitely needs to up his spangles game though, but he was not prepared for the podium so we'll let him off

Yes that was really nice. And a proper conversation not just a half hearted "well done"
I really liked shaidrov skate previously and think was scored slightly too low initially before this evening

Yes.

Charlotte Bankes please take note

Maybe there’s a golden ratio for haircut : spangles.

How can he be 8th when he was 15 points ahead at the start?

What did she do?

Becuase he fell over 3 times

Only just caught up, what the heck happened here?

Everyone got jelly legs
