Winter Olympics

[MK Shrimper]

Do you care? I can honestly say it's passing me by without the faintest of interest. Maybe because we've got a very faint hopes of a medal.

I can't imagine DOING a winter sport, but quite enjoyed Ski Sunday, well...when they crashed.

You?

Don't care, even if we had medal hopes I probably wouldn't care. Saw my parents watching it and we had someone win a bronze medal.

The only thing I will remember from it is this - http://metro.co.uk/2014/02/10/sochi...-after-being-trapped-in-sochi-toilet-4298735/

im still cheering on the heels, lets go Russia (clap, clap, clap), lets go China (clap, clap, clap).

Loving it. BBC doing a good job, and hopefully this will increase the awareness of Winter sports in GB, as we are getting quite good at some of them now.

Haven't watched any of it. Not overly that bothered in the slightest, although when I eventually get my arse into gear and start snowboarding I'm sure I will be having an orgasm over the next one.

I'm really enjoying watching all the sports you don't usually see any other time. Was great to see Team GB winning a bronze in the SlopeStyle Snowboarding and fingers crossed, will win some more medals too. The commentary's are good, even the Womens SS Snowboarding one was a bit mental, but great all the same.

Just shows that even though we don't get much snow over here compared to other countries, can still compete with them without being a laughing stock.

I just find it all so very gay.

Really? I hadn't noticed.

Watching skiers face plant is as interesting as it gets.

Boring as crap and as its not in the UK very few people care.

Quite like the Curling / Biathlon/ Ice Hockey & Skiing & Skating(is it cross ski)when they try & knock each other over - not so keen on most of the rest but watch it a bit.
I told my wife that I wouldn't mind seeing it one day - she said is that when it's held in London.....

...quite enjoyed Ski Sunday
You?

Ski Sunday had the best musical intro. As for the Winter Olympics, totally passes me by.

When did Curling girls change from middle aged to young girls ? Made me take interest....


.....for about 10 minutes then the sport took over and I fell asleep.

Not going well apparently. Looks like a silver.

For me, too much of the action in the Winter Olympics is (a) against the clock or (b) based on points awarded by judges. There are fine exceptions to this of course, but take downhill skiing:

Bloke goes fast down a hill.
Next one goes, also looks like he's going fast.
Is 0.05 seconds quicker.
Gosh.
Repeat.
