2026 Winter Olympics

A real shame that they couldn't find 2 minutes to show Atkins half pipe run on TV, it is available on the website.

It was but it was on iPlayer. Not that I want to keep watching iPlayer I prefer to see it on proper TV (well it's proper to me!!)
The BBC would sooner have curling... boooorrring. ;-)

That is because we will actually win a medal in that event, nailed on now.

We should win a medal in the half pipe too.

I quite like the curling too, well when our lads and lasses were/are in it.

Nick Goepper in the half-pipe rips up his final run, gold medal stuff then on his very last trick goes for a never done before and decks out horribly. Incredibly gets back to his feet and walks down the pipe, cameras zoom in on him and he grins and cackles "I regret nothing". Utterly brilliant.

I thought the young Estonian lad deserved the win.

Yeah I'm no expert but Tim and Ed were very impressed with it. I got the impression that Ed thought the American winner was very lucky with what the judges were valuing most.

Thank goodness for ground wifi I'll be able to watch the end of the curling in the ground.

Norway’s Johannes Klæbo with his 11th Olympic Gold and his 6th of this Olympics.

This one was in the Mass Start but he’s won them in the Individual, Skiathlon, Sprint, Relay and Team Sprint which he also won Gold in each in the 2025 World Championships.

The gretest Winter Olympian of all time.

There must be something in the water over there. Their athletics and football have also seen some epitomes of human sporting excellence in recent years n’all.

Hope all the pre-game hype by the BBC doesn't put the mockers on our curlers?

They need to deploy a bit more strategy in their play….too easy for Canada right now.

I rean article this week on Norway's sports and their approach to it. The thing that stood out for me was, 90% of their kids participate in at least 1 team sport.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

What a shot!

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Ah well, silver still a great result for this GB curling team…..Canada deserved it on balance.

I thought so - the last two ends were fairly convincing.

What a hockey final USA keeper outstanding display

 

[WT86]

That stick save from Toews was unbelievable, nobody's going to call Hellebuyck a choker again. And Hughes coming back from getting his teeth smashed out to score the winner. Great game and promotion for hockey.

But it isn’t over yet. The ‘fat lady’ hasn’t sung yet!! We’ve got the closing ceremony to come. ;-) ;-)

Highlight of the games was definitely them putting the curling on the screens in the concourse before kick off yesterday and the cheer when GB took the lead with a double point end!
