Wongo’s winter Olympic report

[Wongo]

Figure skating - What’s the go with the Russians and swans? They are everywhere.

Cross country - ski and shoot. Aren't they 2 different events? And if you miss a shot you have no chance of winning.

Curling - bizarre? It is the only Olympic event requires a broom. Most top teams are woman or is it only for woman? Practice makes perfect??

Skeleton - bloody scary. Head first at 130km per hour

Luge double - 2 men in tight outfits, one sits on top of the other. Who has more fun?

Moguls - it hurts just looking at the knees bounce up and down.

I haven't watched much of it.

Too many bloody ads and they go on with far to much bollocks.

Plus when they finally do show an event, it's a day old anyway.

At least they don't have synchronised swimmimg. :eek:

Ice dancing is almost as bad though.

[Termite]

Never been the same since they banned "Eddie The Eagle".

Ice dancing is almost as bad though.

Having learned ice skating, both the dancing and speedskating, in my youth I love watching the skating.

Especially in the speedskating if they are wearing orange and winning. It reminds me of when I was young and I had hopes of becoming one.

Peter, it is never too old to do the skeleton.

You do have to be insane though Scott.

Scott, I might look silly but I'm not that stupid.

Hey Scott! Have they given you the olympics off, or promoted you to a new office with a door and stuff so you can talk to us in office hours again??

anyone who has had a crook knee would wince at that - you're not alone there! (Arthroscopy survivor)

Peter, I minimize the window (browser) to just big enough to see a couple of lines. It is a pain but I have no choice.

I see they are not televising the Nude Winter Basketball this Olympics :confused:

I didn't mind the women but you can have the men's competition!!!

An olympic speedskater ofcourse. I loved skating when I lived in Holland. Even took my own speed skates with me whem migrating here. Trouble was there were'nt any creeks, canals or rivers that froze in winter or ice rinks close by.

Whilst I couldn't be a dutch skater I still love the colour orange though. You might have noticed.
