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

[Silverbirchleaf]

For all things Winter Olympics related.

I totally agree. I takes a lot of strength to 'retire' at 16, say to the people around you, you're not controlling me any more, and then come back on her terms. Win or lose, she's winning, really.

Wow, the USA have equalised in the ice hockey in the last couple of minutes!

Zoe Atkin has qualified in the top spot for the final of the Free ski half pipe. Fingers crossed, she will get a medal.

It's very close in the Curling- I know every else is bored of the curling, but I love .

I'm getting dizzy switching channels.
(triple lutzs over to the skating for a minute).

Howls of despair in the Wendy household!

I might need a defibrillator.

I was willing Canada on. The commentators were pretty shocked as well.

To be honest, last time (while Poulin was out because of an injury from the Czechia game) the USA absolutely trounced us. They are younger and faster.

I love the speed and dynamism. Everything can change in the blink of an eye.

1 point ahead in curling - 2 more ends and Gb have hammer in final end 🤞

I really enjoyed the Korean skater who just performed to Carmen .
Throw back to the 80s when everyman and his dog seemed to skate to Carmen

Oooh some Morricone in the skating.

oh she’s fallen.

it's very tense.

Women’s figure skating just about to start on iPlayer.

Adellia Petrosian has a quad scheduled, according to the commentators on TNT.

Isn’t she unofficially coached by the Russian woman responsible for a lot of the abusive techniques on previous young Russian skaters? Just hope she’s capable and not being pushed beyond limits.

Probably- it's murky ground- she must be allowed to be there, the AIN athletes are strictly vetted. Not so sure about the coaches...

Congratulations to the US hockey team. Their play was beautiful, fast, relentless and full of heart

Team Canada played incredibly, bouncing back from a 5-nil defeat at the hands of USA just a week ago.

What an outstanding example of hockey played at the highest level.

I'm gutted for my team but heartened for the sport.

❤️🇨🇦🏒🇺🇸❤️

I think that was Maria Sharapova in the crowd.

(I'm too nervous to watch the curling)

Switzerland have the hammer- which is why I'm so nervous!

That was a beautiful skate. The Georgian team have had some lovely skating this year.

Yes. She’s the one that’s coached by Valieva’s old coach. I thought she was coaching the Georgian as well but I’m not sure she is.

The quad was a fail.

Maybe shouldn’t have scheduled the quad

Yay! GB win the curling!!!!

No, I'mnot sure why it's necessary really. Do a decent triple. Why risk it?
