Nobody watching it?
Quite enjoying the Big Air. Young Scottish lass, Kirsty Muir, has qualified for tonight's final (or rather Tuesday morning's, at 2am).

eve muirhead has been terrible in this loss to switzerland, i think she's played four or five decent stones throughout, even having the hammer and everything set up for her last stone in the extra end and she still totally mucked up running straight through
MUCH better this time against the olympic champions sweden 8-2 with three ends to spareLast edited by cabbageandribs1875; 10-02-2022 at 01:06 PM.

The image of the artificial giant ski slope in front of the coal power plant is scarred into my brain...
Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

Some story in the snowboard cross for Lindsey Jacobellis. Pretty much dominated the sport for years but the Olympic gold medal has always been elusive (partly self inflicted!). Then she wins two golds in the space of days at the age of 36.

i've listened to his co-commenting for a many years now for the curling and i actually think he's quite knowledgeable of the sport, but believe it or not it was only on friday that i've actually watched the lead-up to a curling game starting and i heard his name mentioned as co-commentator and only then did i click that he was THEE steve cram of running fame so just googled the now to confirm it was indeed him and one of the first articles is viewers complaining about the commentary done by him and paula radcliffe doing the 2018 Olympics, further research took me to a BBC forum and the first comment is....
Why on earth is Steve Cram commentating on the curling - he doesn’t have a clue about the tactics, how to build an end, etc.
The number of times poor Rhona has to correct him, or point out what is going on is embarrassing.

15 year old Russian figure skater fails a drug test. ****in disgusting what they’re doing to win medals, I wonder if the parents are aware of what’s going on.

Should under 16s compete then, if they can whilst on drugs

The fact that Russia got to rebrand as the ROC and still compete in any sporting event is a farce in itself

turns out she had traces of three different heart drugs in her system, just one is banned though, i did feel sorry for such a young girl but now she's claiming the drugs were contaminated with her grandfathers medicine, a young girl thought up that one, aye right, 15 year old and taking a mixture of drugs that are a combination that can increase endurance, reduce fatigue and efficiency in using oxygen, ******* shame on any/all of the adults involved in this, whether with the consent of the 15 year old or not, i feel sad for her opponents, she's going to win and it's 100% tainted.

Am I the only person who loves watching the curling to the point of feeling almost addicted? I never think about it for 4 years but at every Olympics I can't get enough of it.
I'm the same when the BBC shows the World Bowls Championship. Wouldn't watch either curling or bowls any other time, have never played them but for those short periods I love them. The whole tactical nature of it, building an end, playing percentages and then sublime skill is just brilliant.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

[QUOTE=nonshinyfinish;6860842]I love it as well. I probably would watch it outside of the Olympics but as far as I know this is the only time it's on UK tv.[/Q
Eurosport usually have coverage of world and European championships

I just caught the end to the women's round robins in the curling - dramatic stuff! Again, I'd probably struggle to remain engaged for a full game but the way GB v ROC then Sweden v Korea ended was pretty tense. Amazing how something which normally means nothing to you can draw you in like that.

what a disaster that 2nd end was, holding the hammer and USA steal two
0-2 after two ends
that's more like it, 3 picked up 3-2Last edited by cabbageandribs1875; 17-02-2022 at 11:46 AM.

Nip and tuck here. This is going to go to the wire.

I wish Steve Cram would shut his pus a bit more. You've got a co-commentating expert for a reason, Steve.

There should be a rule for how many times you can blank an end, it’s all very negative.
