May need to celebrate with a wee dram, merlotgran

A silver medal is brilliant, soop

POGS You tyke!

Well I think Silver is brilliant and I hope they all enjoy their triumph.

Soop. I couldn't help but notice the muscles too. I thought I was a bit too old for all that. '

Giving hubby a broom for his birthday. Sadly I don't think it will have the same effect.

when I agree. The Canadians needed larger T shirts too!

I enjoyed that match. Silver is fantastic. The Canadians were so good, and boy don't they know it!

merlotgran apologies for misspelling your name.

anno and merlotfran Ah well...our team still won the silver medal. Very proud of them. The Canadians appeared to be "too big for their boots..."
As for the male commentator...did anyone find him a tad tiresome?

GOOD LUCK to the men's curling team. DH is already in position with the remote clamped to the side of the chair

Don't panic, soop, it is at 1.30 and they're going over to it right now on BBC2. I agree, laidback. It gives me great pleasure to see supreme athletes accomplishing feats I couldn't even dream of. My son and family are off skiing in Italy. I asked if the kids were getting big ideas about fancy ski and snowboard exploits. 'No,' he said, 'but I am.' He loves snowboarding but for goodness' sake, he's almost 43!

laidback Ouch! I thought the event started at 1.30. Must dash. Am hooked. Great game.

Curling.....who knew it is soo fabulous! I've enjoyed all the events. The ski cross is bonkers and great fun to watch. The half pipe is a joy. The ice dancing is beautiful. Forget the politics its about those supreme athletes. Fantastic. Don't forget to watch the mens curling 1pm....Enjoy.

Soop.
I even enjoyed the Snow Boarding. It was brilliant.

I really appreciated the skill they all displayed and I think it is quite right to update the categories of events to grow with the younger generation, hopefully to keep the games alive and kicking.

POGS Me too. About to return to the final long programme for ladies.

I'm enjoying it. Just saying.

anno the final game was really exciting. I was shouting for Eve to get that stone in the eye...and so she did. Tears of joy!

when I was bowled over by the performance of the skater from Korea. She was exceptional. I would love to have been her for just five minutes of her short programme. What must it feel like to float across the ice like a butterfly ...so well put.

The figure skating yesterday was fantastic. Some very young female skaters floating across the ice like butterflies and doing exquisite jumps.

Great to see the women winning a bronze in the curling - what a tactical game it is. I've been sitting here in my nightie since 8.30 . And tomorrow the men will get a medal too - hopefully gold.

It is amazing to see these women flinging themselves off mountains with such skill and physical courage. But the commentators need to chill and stop screaming.

Great to see Jenny win a bronze. Fantastic stuff! I just wish that loud-mouthed buffoon male commentator would put his foot in it!

Enjoying it but some of the commentators are 'doing my head in'. Even DD3 who is into all that is finding them a bit OTT.
Well done Jenny. Can't believe that she is the first Brit to get a Winter Olympics medal??

Love the snowboarding! Well done Jenny Jones, who at 33 has won a medal. What a run. Bang goes the housework again.
