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

[Silverbirchleaf]

For all things Winter Olympics related.

I thought so but the time is on the clock - oh maybe for time out - let’s see now

I saw Bruce with one earlier, seemed to be clicking it a lot- maybe they have their own personal one, so they don't rely on the big clock.

I just haven’t seen them clicking it
maybebthey link to stones! Now that would be good

Score looking a bit better in the curling. They could steal it. But at least they are not losing by 5. Yet.

Force a draw and extra end would be great but can’t see it

Google tells me , that they are to measure the speed of the ice, and to time the stone from the back line to when it crosses the hog log. So they know how hard to sweep.

oh no sweden got two in one
gb playing on the defensive with their barriers

Just catching up on iPlayer. About to watch the snowboard cross final.

Ah thank you

does having the hammer mean you are the last to play?

Yes - the last stone

Re the Curling, if you win 6 games in the Round Robin you’re guaranteed a spot in the last 4, but you can still get in with 5 so it’s all going to be about the draw.

The commentators said yesterday 7 and maybe just maybe 6

Yes, it sounds like they have been playing some of the 'harder' teams first- and maybe there are slightly 'easier' ones to come, where they may just scrape through.
Tough one though.

It’s hard to know because the commentators having me believe they should have won last three matches

it’s probably what happens in the men’s football where grown men think we have a chance of winning the World Cup very seriously 😂😂😂

That was a brilliant gold from GB.

Now for the 🥌

I think the men are the medal contenders- and will be disappointed not to make the semis/finals ( the the mixed team were also really meant to win something). But I don't think the women came into into it with medal expectations- or maybe very outside hopes of one.

I need to make a heart hearted attempt to do something about cooking Sunday dinner. I've chucked a chicken in the airfryer .

I'm looking forward to the mixed skeleton later- we have a good chance of a medal in that. Come on Tabby and Matt!

What time is that.

F Sunday dinner - dial in!

The skeleton is around 5.20, I think.

We have 2 pairs in the skeleton as well, Marcus Wyatt and Freya Tarbitt are also involved- so that's exciting.

Right better get to Asda now

I remember them! Didn't know that about Grinkoff's death @Raahh , how sad.

As a couch potato who loves watching anyone who actually knows what they're doing play most kinds of sport, I'm miffed that I haven't watched any of this live yet - combination of not being well and other annoying things - but going to aim for some on catch up and also the skating next week.

Run! We have supermarket pizza meal deal for easy tea tonight 😋

I’m back!

I brought fake mini eggs and they are not a patch on the real ones!
