    Anybody watching this?

    Really enjoyed it, apart from the Ice Hockey - which has bored the life outta me.

    I love the ice-skating and skiing - the curling as well if the Russian women are playing. :giggle1:

    Not watched any yet. Are we even good at anything? I still remember when we were class at curling and everybody was buzzing about it.

    I have never felt any affiliation with the British athletes. In fact, the Union flag-waving puts me off.

    I'll stick it on and watch it but not something I make any effort to pay attention to. Quite like the ski jumping.

    If it's any consolation, they've pumped millions into their efforts this year, and are getting pumped in mostly everything :56::56:

    That Clair Balding reminds me of Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones, I bet her and her wife go at it all through the night, I'd love to be a fly on the wall in their house.

    I’ve just seen that Yulia Lipnitskaya has had to retire aged 19 because she is suffering from anorexia. It’s a real shame - her performance in Sochi was incredible.
