Bbc Winter Olympics

[smurfchops]

Are you watching it ? If not, why?

[douglas9401]

The shouty blokey blokes commentating on the fast stuff drove me mad after a couple of minutes, the rest is just not for me, I hate the cold except for chilling lager.

[burlyshirley]

Don't like sports of any description, ever !

[Stickybottle]

Currently watching the Short Skating 3000 Metre relay

How they do not collide is beyond me !

[douglas9401]

Little known fact, Stickbottle, fast skaters are part starling.

[Boto]

Burlyshirley, I agree with you 100%.

[Stickybottle]

First time I have ever seen the relay format

‘Congested’ does not do it justice !

[pastafreak]

The only winter sport I'd watch is figure skating. Damned if I could figure out when its been on. I gave up.

[maggiebee]

Can't stand sport of any kind so why would I waste my time? Might make an exception tomorrow as a Dundee lass is in the figure skating.

Would agree with Shirley, but I did like Formula 1 until recent years, until stupid rules came in. Fortunately Mr Lottie isn't a sports fan either, except for Rugby sometimes. I like watching the ice dancing, but don't consider it a sport.

I hated sport at school, but loved dance.

i presume elise whatserchops has retired?

maggie: "Can't stand sport of any kind so why would I waste my time? " - what? not even blokes in skirts tossing? :)

[pat2604]

And I lived five minutes away from Wimbledon tennis, but never entered the site!

[davebro]

er - not really interested. They seem to be making a big thing about curling - don't think the original Olympic games included that. Might as well have darts & shove-hapenny.

[ToraToraTora]

apparently they are considering darts for 2024 dave!

[pat2604]

I loved shove halfpenny as a child. My grandd had a board , and I also loved dominoes. I must admit to doing a lot of cycling in my life, but not as a sport.

[davebro]

Off topic - but does anyone remember going roller skating?

It was pretty big when I was in my teens, many towns had a rink. There was pop music & a good way of meeting girls!

[anneasquith]

More commentators than competitors. ……. Clare Balding is everywhere. :-(

[pat2604]

I went ice skating a few times but I was useless. The only roller skating I did was playing outside on pavements, way back when cars and traffic were scarce.

[pat2604]

I like Clare Balding, Anne.

[naomi24]

I don't watch much sport but I caught a bit of the curling yesterday. God! That commentator!! I had to switch him off! What a racket!

I can't stand Clare Balding. I think she's a big head.
