Ive had about all I can stand of figure skating.

10 minutes of some downhill or a small portion of snowboarding and the rest figure skating.

Show hockey or curling or biathlon. Anything. And I just don't care to watch womens sports that much. The times are slower the tricks are smaller and the level of performance down. Luge sure. Snowboarding and freestyle? No.

The 2014 Womens er... Winter Olympics are a bore.

I am watching curling at the moment. China versus Sweden and these ladies are anything but a bore to watch.

Fun stuff actually. [:)]

Typical - we are leading South Korea 7-4, then I tune in to watch, and two ends later we are losing 8-7. I think I'll go do something else....

Its all on the last stone!

At the moment both Sweden and Great Britain are among the top four and thereby has a spot in the semi finals. But in addition to making it to the semi finals I suspect it would be nice to avoid Canada in the semi.

Yes, getting into the semis is job 1, job 2 is defo avoiding Canada [:)]

Now I am watching ladies hockey. Finland versus Sweden and after period one it is 0-0. Finland are huge favourites to win.

Thank you.

It feels good to finally get a gold. Especially in a cross-country skiing event that it was ages since we got a gold in. [:)]

Now it is time for some celebration tea. [:D]

Rules are rules I guess. Her left skate was 1 centimetre the wrong side of the finishing line....

I've seen worse rule infringements in other sports and nothing happened regardless of protests.

Since I know almost nothing of short track skating I should probably keep quiet but I get a feeling that strong nations get an advantage with the judges in many sports and Great Britain is not a strong winter nation. I hope I am wrong but... [:(]
