@SabrinaThwaite you don't say!
My DCs are club swimmers and have just done their county championships - <touch wood> clear sheet and no DQs as yet 😬
DH is a club time keeper, still needs to earn his stripes to become a proper official.

Tell him to go for Recorder - much nicer than judging (and you get a seat).

I hated judging - and we had such draconian referees in our district, they were notorious. I much preferred judging in different districts, much more relaxed!

And now the Canadians are claiming that the filmed evidence of them touching the stone was illegally obtained , and the Swedes planned to catch them in the act.

But surely if they weren't double touching the stone in the first blimmin' place there would be NO footage, legal or illegally obtained?!!! 🤔😄

Exactly- they wouldn't have anything to worry about, would they?!Grin

Another gold for Klaebo in the Cross-Country Skiing - men's 4 x 7.5km relay

He didn't even need to break a sweat for that gold 🥇

I think he is now the most decorated Winter Olympian with 9 golds 🥇 at the age of 29

That was a heck of a race by Charlotte Banks in the board cross.

Raahh · 15/02/2026 13:27

I've got curling on the tv, and snowboard cross on the laptop Grin.

We're in with a chance in the board cross, aren't we? (tries not to jinx it).

JellyBeanSpring25 · 15/02/2026 13:31

Sshhh…. Go Charlotte & Huw…. Fingers 🤞

SabrinaThwaite · 15/02/2026 13:35

It’s real edge of the seat stuff - so exciting.

Lunde · 15/02/2026 13:35

The women's Giant Slalom was a nail biter

Amazing that the Swedish and Norwegian women were equal on time after the first run also had exactly the same time on the second ... what are the chances? 🥈 🥈

SabrinaThwaite · 15/02/2026 13:38

The Bill n Ted commentators have probably just kiboshed the Brits’ chances by saying they’ll get a medal.

Piggywaspushed · 15/02/2026 13:40

I quite fancy Ted, if he's the one on the right. Nice face. So long as he doesn't talk snowboard to me, he'll do!

Tim has the big eyebrows and Ed is the other one.

Don't think I’ve seen either without a woolly hat though.

Piggywaspushed · 15/02/2026 13:47

Yes, Ted = Ed.

EleanorReally · 15/02/2026 13:55

Piggywaspushed · 15/02/2026 13:57

Woo hoo!

dapsnotplimsolls · 15/02/2026 13:57

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Raahh · 15/02/2026 13:58

Have we got the gold? Yay!!

BitterlyLemon · 15/02/2026 13:58

Wow wow wow wow!!

SabrinaThwaite · 15/02/2026 13:58

Chemmy’s going to have to break out that gold dress again!

EleanorReally · 15/02/2026 13:58

gold!

wanderingstarz · 15/02/2026 13:58

Yay! 🏅

Applecharlotte2 · 15/02/2026 13:59

What’s happened? I’m in the curling

DuncinToffee · 15/02/2026 13:59

Oh Wow!

CrushingOnRubies · 15/02/2026 13:59

Yay!! Well done Bankes & Nightingale that was a fab way to cheer up a dreary Sunday

Raahh · 15/02/2026 13:59

Is this the first gold medal on snow we've ever won? I think all the other ones have been on ice based events.

FadedRed · 15/02/2026 13:59

Well done Charlotte and Hugh! 🥇 🥇
