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

[Silverbirchleaf]

For all things Winter Olympics related.

I felt sorry for Petrosian, not for falling, but because she was the only one of the women who didn't seem to be part of the camraderie and happiness. She had a face like she was expecting a beating later. It's very sad.

The Japanese, in particular (men and women) always seem so cheerful and supportive, as do their coaching teams.

As we are doing fashion - shout out to Oscar de la Renta for these amazing dresses

They really were amazing. The gold one was one of my favourites.

the mass start biathlon was thrilling. However I think the commentator needed someone to bounce off and he must be hoarse from talking solidly for over 30 minutes.

He did a great job though, it's a real skill to build a story like that. The WWII poem at the end was a bit much, but overblown rhetoric is part of the fun of sports broadcasting.

I'll be glad to get back to work next week if I don't have to watch any more curling ...

Now they are showing matches we are not even in!

I’m so sick of curling. I can’t believe they played an endless semi final instead of the women’s figure skating last night.

Does anyone care about curling?!

I thought we might be free of it today but nooooooooo!

Storyville, Price of Gold. Watched this last night.

Have you seen the film I, Tonya @placemats? it’s really good.

daps your despair is making me laugh 🤭

I have watched it several times @JaneJeffer and love it.

The storyville docs are superb.

I was pleasantly surprised that the BBC was showing the Women's 1500m speed skating. Fantastic gold for the Netherlands

Gus Kenworthy just did a great second run run the Freeski half pipe(his first was throwaway one).

I bloody love biathlon and so pleased it's been one of the biggest events of the games (even without laegrids behaviour 😳)

Lots of falling over tonight!

@HollyGolightly4 There has been- and Gus is moving down now, as expected- another run to go still. I'm wierdly invested in this .

The men have had to do qualifying and the final in one day, due to the weather, so it's a tough day.

Bill and Ted are cracking me up with the commentary.

Did he just say 'there is the squat of heart break'

No improvement for Gus, but a good shot, considering some of the competitors are nearly half his age!

That's interesting @Raahh , I didn't realise that!

Love Bill and Ted 🤣🤣

There was a 17 year old in the qualifications, he looked even younger- made me feel ancient. .

Bill and Ted doing their best Fast Show tonight.

Quite a gritty and disturbing film in parts, but really good film

I like the green of the Estonian's suit.

I have no idea what Bill and Ted are talking about, but it's fun.
