Winter Olympics, Milan 2026

Ah, fatov.

Am I being unreasonable in disliking the Canadians almost as much as the Americans after yesterday?

Not really, considering it is their most successful games of all time, a little humility and decorum wouldn't go amiss. But, we don't know how many have been wrongly identified as trump supporters, so there's a little aggro in the ether that might explain some friction. Only seem to have any ego's amongst the men it needs pointing out. At least so far as I've seen.

I haven't checked, but after the double curling stone touch saga, is it only team gb that's had a stone excluded?

Ah, Fatov.

I think Eileen Gu got a gift of a pin whilst waiting on the podium, and it had to be something similar.

Laughing here at that Scottish commentator delivering his 'expert' comments on the half pipe....qualifications: an ex-soldier with zero athletic experience.

….a bit like us lot thinking we know more than Moyes about footy.

Is it just me but the German gold lads stood up in the bobsleigh as it cruised into the crowd to slow and stop. Looked cool as anything.

The half-pipe style events are rather subjective to the whims of the judges and reputation.

Looking at the medalists in the half pipe. A Brit with an American accent, a Chinese who looks like an American supermodel and another Chinese who looks like, well, a Chinese I suppose. The world's gone mad.

Bit like Cricket when you think about it. Loads represent different nations that they weren't born/live in. Guessing it's all about funding or being selected etc.

Good morning @wm02


GO CANADA GO

 

[Efcjake]

Was that an audible boo for Team USA?

 

[Simon Buttle]

Not that I have a clue but the one that is now leading didn't seem like a 94 out of a 100. And isn't she the superstar of the Winter Olympics?

It wasn't anywhere near that kind of score but its Eileen Gu and she always seems to get a few extra points for being Eileen Gu basically.

Never really watched Ice Hockey before, anyone tell me what the sort of tactics are with it as it's hard to see? Seems very chaotic

Bang bodies, get pucks in deep, throw pucks at the net.
