Relay luge - epic!
USA, Canada and Sweden dominating in the Hockey for both sexes. Don't think much of the coverage though.
Yeep! Go on Lizzy!
Track record is a pretty tasty R3
underway in R4. Lizzie out last, in about 20 mins time.
Woooooo!
OUTSTANDING!
Great contest!
Indeed! 😀
Superb performance
That was amazing. How'd she manage to start so fast?
Awsome, I have no connection to this sport, it is just so far from everything I can imagian, but I was so exited about that and loved every moment, despite bbc's online viewing crashing for a while, must have been a lot of viewers, but was able to see the last few runs and just loved it.
Am I missing something here, the commentary is about her holding onto the lead, but hasn't she increased it despite looking a bit scruffy in places.

No, you're not missing something, in the 4th and final run she extended her lead by 0.19sec despite being a bit scruffy in places.
Just watching the highlights. Aerials.
Now we have slopestyle, it all just looks a bit silly, doesn't it? It's just tumbling, really.
Could someone tell me, exactly how many more events are there that involve spinning in the air whilst wearing skis or a ski board and a baggy overcoat?
@CFH agreed, it was once the wow event but seems to have been comprehensively "out-cooled"
Great win for Lizzy in the skeleton, come in as world champion and take Olympic gold 4 years after taking up the sport. Cute picture of her holding a valentines card for her bf.
I know next to nothing about the skeleton bob, but watching Lizzy tonight was brilliant. Not just the skill and bravery to do that, but her total happiness and enthusiasm at the end, and that of her family and friends too. To me that's what sport is all about.
What a difference from the overpaid crybaby footballers. And don't get me started on the Scottish rugby no hopers.
Well done Lizzy, sporting highlight of February for me so far.
Wow RUS v US ice hockey, What drama, better than 007 on ITV!!!!
So, are there any other opportunities for a medal now our skating girl was disqualified?
Yes the the skater girl has her best event to come,1000m, hope she gets the gold, now that would be a story
Women's Skeleton medals being done now - silver and bronze look fun 😉
Check google images for the Russian 😉

Good game, bit NHL-ish for obvious reasons. My telly is fully booked for next Sundays final game, whoever's in it.
bloody annoyed at the beeb at the moment, we've got up to watch the snowboard cross and it's wall to wall bloody culring - it's on both BBC2 *AND* the red button. Someone in the scheduling department needs a couple of minutes with Ton 👿 😈
Russian curling skip, Hello !
nbt, the snowboarding's been postponed due to fog.
[quote=spence said]nbt, the snowboarding's been postponed due to fog.
we found that out AFTER the curling had finished, there was no mention of cancellation while we watched the curling - just "we'll be over with snowboard cross in five minutes once the curling's finished". Once I heard that I packed up and headed to work. I can watch online if thwe weather clear and they decide to go ahead

This is the best moment of the Games so far for me, and totally sums up what the Olympics is all about!!
Does anybody know if Ole Einar Bjorndalen can still win another medal?
Ladies SBX yesterday was fab - gutted for Zoe Gillings to miss out on a run in the final due to a photo finish.
Me too.gutted for Zoe Gillings to miss out on a run in the final due to a photo finish.
Poor photo finish, getting all the blame 😉
Talking of photos, take a moment and admire [url= http://www.sadanduseless.com/2014/02/faces-of-olympic-figure-skating/ ]faces of Olympic figure skating[/url]

Truly a marvelous thing. Some have clearly dropped an E before venturing out on to the ice.
Wow! Just wow! Some of those images will haunt my dreams for weeks!
Boardercross quarters are on the red button now. Thanks BBC,can't bloody record it
Semi finals already...
Shermer,
As long as he gets a spot on either of the relay teams or he's in today's postponed mass start then yes. Theoretically 3 chances and very good ones in the relays.
Dave
So whens the SBX being repeated? Cant see it on BBC.

Who knows? Obviously the BEEB think that hours and hours and hours and hours of ice bowls is far more entertaining than a half hour of boardercross, so we may get a brief highlight of the final on the Olympics Today programme at 7pm. Useless bastards.
Leigh and Co. really, really need to stop trying to do Warner style metaphor.

Some people really, really need to shut up moaning and enjoy it.
if you check red button timetables, SBX will probably be repeated this evening.
Well that couldn't have been closer than if they were dressed in a suit made of fuzzy felt and being chased by a werewolf made out of Velcro. While frotting a penguin left handed.
SBX - I wuz entertain 😆
