Winter Olympics 2: ‘Gold, always believe in your soul

[Silverbirchleaf]

For all things Winter Olympics related.

Confirmed, GB play Switzerland tonight.

Skimo is fun to watch

Soo , both curling SF's are on at 18.05 and women's skating is on at 18.00 .

I presume bbc will show the curling as we don't have a women in the skating ?

Bum.

They can't do this 😞

It’s a long time since I’ve heard that expression! But I agree with you.

Surely the BBC will only show the SF involving the GB team? So it can show something else on the other available channel?

Which better bloody be the women's ice hockey gold medal game at 18:10!

I've bought snacks in and everything! Team jersey is in the dryer right now.

They'll probably show the same curling match on both channels, like they did the other night. Can't be too careful.

Watching the skimo - found what the Spanish do in snow then!

Watched a bit of Ski mountaineering and was pretty underwhelmed - I was expecting them to go up big steep slopes.

I bet they do.

I think I heard them say that this evenings schedule has been put back .

The delay is due to the weather and difficulties in contestants and spectators getting to the venues .

Fully open to being told I have got that wrong !!

I was half listening !

BBC schedule this evening runs as follows:

iPlayer
Curling ∞

BBC Two
6pm lengthy studio discussion about curling and who needs to lose for GB to win
7pm interviews with GB athletes who didn't win anything
8pm old episode of Bargain Hunt
9pm home videos of toddlers sliding on trays
10pm end of Olympic day

Shame

5000 hours of curling shown and not even through to the semis!

I’ve been in a meeting- are you girls out the curling?

Ski Mountaineering Sprint is an utterly bonkers sport!

Ski through an obstacle course, ski uphill, take skis off and run up some steps, put skis back on and ski down hill with a little jump in the middle.

@CoolFineDoneWicked - sounds about right. Curling, more curling, in depth report of why we didn't win curling, backstory of unsuccessful curlers, some guff, end.

I was a a bit WTF? at the ski mountaineering especially when they took the skis off to run up the steps 🤣

They won their own match, but needed the Swiss to beat the USA, but they didn't.

The women's team were never really medal contenters, given their world rankings- they didn't start the competition well ,but have got a lot better as the week has gone on.

Bill and Ted back in their shed discussing Zoe Atkin and her hopes in the half pipe Lots of snow- apparently Eileen Gu is not keen on very snowy conditions, they have said- that might favour Zoe (or not)

And they are showed the clip oh them singing 'Livin' on a Prayer' on the shed. It's very funny .

Actual ice dancing! Not sure why she's wearing her trackies, though.

How to feel old - 'she retired at 16'.

Rather than showing repeats of the ones they showed the other day, they could show some of the ones who are doing their Free programme now live. Maybe there is a reason the BBC only shows the final group (probably just time constraints).
