Re: Winter Olympics 2014
Well it's nice to see a bit of interest in the winter Olympics. It's a shame that the UK doesn't have the climate to promote winter sports on a grander scale - especially as the brits are well connected with the very early winter Olympics - both in the creation of and participation.
After watching channel 4's show (The Jump) it has proved - even though the show was a bit cheesy, that ANYONE can do winter sports - even with a little training.
Personally I have a lot of respect for Winter sports athletes as not only do they have to be skilled in their discipline (quite often) they need a lot of courage as well - my particular favorite being ski jumping/flying, which takes a lot of the above.
Good luck to the rest of the UK athletes participating in Sochi - let's hope some more medals may be forthcoming.

Re: Winter Olympics 2014
Much prefer the Winter games. It makes the Summer Olympics looks boring in comparison.
Well done to Jenny too, excellent result.

Re: Winter Olympics 2014
I saw the Moguls this morning, and the crash that split the helmet of one of the skiers.

This sounds interesting

Please consider that prior to 1951, each Olympic ring corresponded with a particular continent: blue represented Europe, yellow represented Asia, black represented Africa, green represented Australia and red—the fifth circle—represented the Americas.

Re: Winter Olympics 2014
Woman's Curling get Bronze
Men's Curling guaranteed a medal tomorrow
So that will be 4 medals equaling our best from 90 years ago.

Re: Winter Olympics 2014
l never thought Curling would be so popular with us in this country but when there is a chance of a medal or two at the end of it then even snail racing might become popular.
