I'm not sure why it's "elite bollocks" either, there's plenty of indoor places in the UK to go and enjoy them for only a few quid, it's sport just like football.

Remind me where I can try tobogganing, ski jumping, or downhill skiing.

Eddie Edwards practiced ski jumping in his back yard by leaping off the coal bunker wearing a motor bike helmet

If you want to try tobogganing
First, you have to be a bloody good sprinter
Have you ever watched the film Cool Runnings?
The Jamaican team practiced on a Caribbean hill in a home made go cart

I have about as much interest in the winter olympics as I do in equestrianism or polo - elite bollocks!
And that BBC **** Andy Swiss can get to fuck with that stupid scarf, what's that all about? If you're cold, put a fucking hat on you bald twat!

I went to The Poynton Show a few years back, they did an equestrian event on a smaller scale. Full size horses but over half a dozen fences. Of course most of us have been close up to horses but to be so close when they are jumping fences is quite another.
 
Two fourth places for Kirsty Muir, must be gutting but she really went for it tonight and did herself proud - neither Gold or Silver managed as big a score for their best jump. The big air bods are headcases, helps that they are young though; the Italian lass who wiped out bounced like a rubber ball!

I felt so sorry for Muir last night, her second jump was so good. She just couldn’t control her landing on her third. Such a crying shame and yes she should feel proud of her achievements. It was a very closely fought contest, some of those somersaults, flips and turns were incredible.

The Olympic village has run out of condoms.

I'm sure an international shagging event would be a rating winner. They could judge it like the figure skating. Maybe even have a speed race as a spin off.

Yeah, thing about they story is, is doesn’t mean what people think it does. It’s a triumph of hope over reality, take up rather than usage!

She said afterwards that she'd hadn't yet managed to land that final trick but she felt she just had to go for it; she got very close and no doubt will get there soon. There's something really likable about the attitudes in some of these winter sports.
