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

[Silverbirchleaf]

For all things Winter Olympics related.

GB curlers meet the cheating Canadians in the final.

Gosh this is close in the skating

I think the gold's Alysa's 🥇

It’s making me nervous for Alyssa and Kaori

I am pleased for Alysa.

9th in the free skate??

Oh I wish it didn’t cut off so quick

Awww ❤️ so lovely the camaraderie between them

Ohh how sweet .
She didn't realize that she had got bronze .

Where was the silver medalist ?

I love that Norway is untouchable at the top of the medals table.

I still want a Norwegian jumper.

Me too. They are very expensive though.

They showed her briefly

A proper Norwegian sweater is an investment piece. It will outlast you.

Half 5 of those are from Klaebo! 👏

Aww love kaori arranging Alyssa’s mascots.

Maybe so, but Norway still only has a population of 5.5 million.

What sort of jumper - they have medalled in the ski-jumping and took gold today in a very exciting Nordic Combined relay 😁

But Norwegian sweaters are definitely investment pieces

That women's free skating was an absolute joy to watch and it always delights me and lifts my spirit. Alysa Lu a deserved winner. Gold! Kaori Sakamoto a deserved Silver and the lovely Ami Nakai a well deserved Bronze.

They are all brilliant!

The ones they wore in the opening ceremony.

It will be interesting to see if he can get a 6th at the weekend in the 50km.

This is the company that makes them and you can buy some of the Milan/Cortina styles ... at a price

I bought a couple of vintage Norwegian jumpers off Vinted last weekend, after watching Birk Ruud in the slopestyle. There's quite a lot of Dale of Norway on there, too.

It was really lovely- so many of the skaters skated really well and looked happy at the end. I will say I was a bit relieved when Petrosian fell on the quad because she was the only one of the top skaters that I didn't want to end up on the podium. 😜 I love Kaori's skating and her programs so was rooting for her, but I hope she can still feel proud of her silver medal and her career overall desite her disappointment.
