Is anyone watching the Winter Olympics?

Huw Nightingale and Charlotte Bankes were thrilling to watch. The speed and the angles that seem to defy gravity are so exciting.
Poor Kirsty Muir getting 4th again. Her jumps were incredible but that fall right at the end was heartbreaking.
Really enjoying these Olympics.

Although I was only half watching it I got quite emotional when the Japanese pair won gold in the skating. I saw them the other night when they made a mistake but for some reason they were the skaters that really grabbed me emotionally.

I AM enjoying the men’s Big Air (I think that’s what it is called) this evening.
Mid-air acrobatics on skis in what looks like a blizzard and then not infrequently splatting in the snow on landing. Nobody hurt - what’s not to like?

Women’s Figure Skating - just wow!

Anyone watching the Curling?
I wonder what Grandma Janet is knitting?

Squares for a blanket, she knits them and gives them to charities.

That's lovely.

Oh come on, GB Curling!

Ah, Allira, I'm rooting for Canada! Creat curling on both sides!

Woo hoo! We got it! My goodness those last few ends were exciting! Well played both teams.

I'm worn out...excellent game!

Such an exciting match ,
but having a microphone shoved in your face straight after
is a bit miserable

Yes, too much too soon.

It was exciting but I had little clue about what was going on 😁

It's taken the whole Winter Olympics but I think I understand the sport now!

😁

Well done! 🥇

RosiesMawagain, I still really don't understand all the strategy, but thankfully DH does, so will explain as they go along.

I know I should admire being in touch with their emotions, but I wish "our boys" would stop crying as they receive their medals! Silver is nothing to be ashamed of!🥈🥈🥈🥈🥈

Does anyone understand the scoring in the bobsleigh?

Britain are in 16th position!!
They are in line for the bronze medal!

I thought it was whoever was fastest....?

Yes, but 16th?
In line for the bronze?

I really enjoyed the curling final. Well done Team GB on getting the silver. It was close for a good while. Congratulations Canada on getting the gold 👏👏👏

I have successfully managed to avoid it all so far!

Games are over now, we all were up at 05:00 this morning to watch the US/CAN hockey game. So disappointing that we ended up losing in overtime, but it was a very good game, and the US goalie was like a brick wall. But still a silver.

I love the Olympics for the sportsmanship, the chance to watch many sports that are not usually televised, and the pride it brings to our citizens.

Congrats to Norway for being the overall medal winner.
