I might have watched the shooting biathlon I think, but as soon as I heard cheating with dick injection and the British bloke pissing in the snow as protest and JD vance getting booked I thought feck the winter Olympics

Fcuking state of the English girl BBC pundit after it happened…, sobbing her wee heart out. 
Btw, the drone footage gives a fantastic view point of the downhill event and gives a much better impression of the steepness of the course and speeds they’re travelling at. To be in with a shout of a medal you’ve got to be skiing right on the very edge, and that means close to wiping out the whole way down. Takes real guts and I take my hat off to them.

I took to watching the curling a few olympics ago. Good blend of skill and strategy, I think it’s actually a good watch.

That’s nothing, I sat through a whole GAA game once and was on the edge of pulling my own eyes out for 70 minutes ! 
The most lethal thing is the boredom ! lol

We had an Italian foreign exchange student stay at our house when I was 17 he was 15, me and my brother are still good mates witg him now. We've been over to him in Bormio a few times, he is a ski instructor, taught all our kids to ski (and us lol)... he sent me this on Saturday morning 

He was one of the time keepers for the men's downhill.. said "you have skied on an olympic slope"... the downhill slope was in Bormio... they are mental the speed they hit going down there, we are obviously shit and its scary enough lol... my Italian mate broke his back in a bad fall skiing for Italy, he was destined to compete at this level, ranked 2nd best junior in Italy before the fall... I enjoy the winter Olympics, some real bollocks to do some of those events
