Winter Olympics 3- As we Curl towards the Closing Ceremony, join us with Bill and Ted , on the most excellent final weekend of competition.

[Raahh]

It's nearly over .

<sob>

I’ve loved these Olympics! What will we have on in the background next week? Curling to go tomorrow though!

I've been hooked. I've had it on every night on Discovery and listened to BBCi player through headphones at work.

Suppose I'll catch up on Masterchef.

Hello thread 3.

Loving the speed skating.

This has been one of my favourite threads for a while!

I know, it's the best background when you're procrastinating working. Beautiful landscapes littered with maniacs.

How did they let the ice hockey teams have almost identical kits?!

There is a winter Paralympics ( Milo is the mascot for that, a brown stoat, without a paw) I don't know if that will be shown on tv.

Usually, I'm obsessed with tennis, and watch all of that- I have been neglecting that the last couple of weeks. Very unlike me

Thanks for new thread

I'm super excited for my favourite winter event this weekend, the 4 man bob (and that's not just because of Cool Runnings, promise)

Ooh here you are!

Apparently Elise Christie is now on Onlyfans. Twas in the media a few days ago; i promise I wasn't on that particular platform.

Anyway, I am at a loss as to what to do when the Olympics is over. Is it followed by a Paralympics?

I love that film.

I read about Elise on Only Fans. Not sure how to respond to that.

There is a Paralympics, early March, but I haven't worked out if it's on the tv yet.

It was the same with Canada v Czechia, madness.

Might spend the next couple of weeks catching up on all the stuff I’ve missed while I was at work. Work has really got in the way.

Not really managed to see any of the cross country skiing. Missed snow board and ski cross which are my favourite events after curling.

Friday 6 March - Winter Paralympics starts! Coverage will be on Channel 4.

russia will take part in the Winter Paralympics for some strange reason

thanks for the information about Channel 4 hosting

Thank you Jellybean, I forgot Channel 4 usually do the Paralympic coverage.

EleanorReally -I don't understand about the Russian/ Belarusian participation thing either. Why can't they take part as neutral athletes, as they have at these games? Poland are boycotting the opening ceremony, and others may do the same.

Ukraine are boycotting the opening ceremony too.

Klaebo time

I imagined they would be. It seemed like such a strange decision to allowing Russians/Belarusians under their own flag. I know the Paralympics has their own committee, but this is an odd thing to go off and do when the Olympics had a neutral team . Why not do the same . (It's still a bit murky - at least the flags aren't flying).

I think Andrew Musgrave is an absolute star. He shows up to all these uphill skiing competitions, does brilliantly, comes in the top 10 (regularly) and I don't think he's getting the plaudits he deserves.

I SEE YOU ANDREW MUSGRAVE!

Are you Mrs Musgrave?

Nooooo...neither wife nor mother!
But I still think he's great!

He is 35 as well, in 7th position so far

It’s a proper Norwegian train at the front, isn’t it?
