And yeah i had an idea winter olympics were starting but not heard anything about it, used to love the games you could by for it. a good one to play when your mates come round
Didn't someone say something about knowing someone from sidcup who is going over there to compete? if so best of luck to her and the GBR team
My Olympic story.... I live in Whistler - home of a number of the alpine and sliding events. Have been learning to pilot a Bobsleigh the past 3 months or so....hit 131km/h going from turn 3 on the Olympic track.
The other morning was live on Canadian breakfast television (GlobalTV for the Canadians on here) explaining how an accountant from South East London ends up piloting a bobsliegh on an Olympic track in Whistler. Told them my inspiration was my old man and the film cool runnings.

I missed that & CTV has been on almost 24/7 in our house!
Can't wait for the hockey. It promises to be awesome - the talent amongst the Russian forwards just beggars belief, and the Canadian team just oozes quality everywhere. Finland and Sweden are in the mix too. Nice to see the women's tournament off to a bang with such a close first game - Canada 18 Slovakia 0

Did I say previously that I have tickets to the final?
Canada vs Russia would be immense but the great thing about Hockey is that you can never tell who will end up in the final two so who knows who'll it be.
How do you get in to Luge? I think I could do well at that event.
[cite]Posted By: KillersBeard[/cite]Snowboard cross is just the best event to watch. The downhill may well be the blue ribband event, but this stuff is compulsive viewing!!
That was great, feel a bit for the Canadian for blew it at the end.

Yeah, poor guy, he's from the same small town that Oakster lives in as well.

My town has a silver medal, a best ever Canadian finish in the XC & plenty more to come - I am absolutely loving these games. Bilodeau last night was absolutely amazing - one of the greatest sporting moments I have witnessed.
Awesome night yesterday. Bedouin sound clash live in Whistler village. Canadian wins their first gold in the moguls on the big screens... the whole place went absolutely mental.
Up at the start for the skeleton today... British chick looking good.
Loving being in the middle of all this! Coming home and seeing the footy result sucked though.

No, but you can get good odds on the Irish bobsleigh team making a movie about their experience

Konichiha duuuude...
Is curling really the only thing on at the Winter Olympics right now? Grrrrr.
And yes, doubles luge is a tough one to get excited about. Single is poor enough, but double takes the cake.
Yes, absolutely brilliant sport.
The halfpipe is good, but I absolutely love the snowboard-cross event!
