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

[Silverbirchleaf]

For all things Winter Olympics related.

I can't even watch the skating as on hol with only bbc2 & they're only showing the blasted curling. Grumpy.

I know ! I've just seen that.

I am so pleased. Guaranteed a silver.

Brilliant.

Maybe she’s being pushed too hard, given her coach…

This could end up being one the best Winter Olympics we've had in terms of medal ^quality' over quantity. We've got 3 golds, could still get a silver (at least) , Zoe Atkins may win something.

It didn't start well, but we're finishing well.

See all our moaning about the curling paid off .!!
They went on to prove us all wrong that it was a boring spot ! 😅😅..

Well done tem GB .

Bruce played some amazing shots.

Loved the shots of Hammy and Grant’s Nan knitting in the stands.

Go Bruce et al! Well played!
The irony is that they only qualified because of the Swiss win this morning, and the Swiss had already qualified so didn’t ‘need’ to win - i’m betting they are wishing that they hadn’t…

Ooh despite the fall, Petrosian still in contention.

I love all the Japanese skaters and liu though. I want them to be the top 4.

That was beautiful from Chibe

I love all of the Japanese skaters . Both men , women and pairs /couples have something so ethereal about them .

..

excellent news!

They’re just so particularly graceful especially in their jumps.

This must be the Russian skater's first big international competition with Russia being banned for 4 years

That was a beautiful skate. So elegant and light and graceful. I liked her previous routine as well.

Great skate from Chiba

The Japanese skaters are fabulous

yay to the curling team! Nail biting at the end - who’d have thought!!

and yes to @SabrinaThwaite- Grant & Hammy’s grandma is a joy. There was an interview with her earlier; her late husband built an ice rink at their hotel 50+ years ago so curlers wouldn’t have to travel miles to practise. Most of the champions since have come out of there!

Fabulous! I had no idea.

MacArthur Park - excellent choice for music.

Macarthur Park as a song is always something that I think 'wtf'.

Soggy cakes, and all that.

I'm sure there's more to it.

Wow!

That was fabulous to watch, well done Alysa!

That is allowed to break my hopes for Japanese 1 2 3.

That was great from Alysa - and I spotted Malinin cheering her on

I LOVED that.
