Milano Cortina 2026

[Agneeta]

Oh not scarves

 

[Madison]

Yeah but he was American before.

He was Team GB last time too.

 

[rhythmbandit]

He was Team GB last time too.

I thought he'd retired but have only recently discovered he'd come out. Of retirement for one last shot at glory.

 

[disneyteletubby]

I love the cauldron design ☆

 

[ILL ADVISED]

I bloody love the Curling

 

[straightorbroken]

Forgot this was on. I already feel like I've missed loads. It's also my first time noticing the drones - the sense of speed is rather thrilling.

 

[straightorbroken]

Downhill won. I would have assumed they would have had them going in order of fastest. I thought it was a qualifier watching most of the ones I caught finishing around 15-20 ish.

 

[Agneeta]

Downhill won.

How did uphill do?

 

[straightorbroken]

How did uphill do?

A struggle.

 

[straightorbroken]

Only just found out my curling crush Thomas Ulsrud died from cancer in 2022. He was only 50.

The Americans with the paso noble themed pairs skate were incredible. And we get to see it again when they compete in the individual event.

 

[Madison]

Ouch. I don’t think Vonn’s going to win that gold.

 

[Finn]

It was always very silly to try, but completely right that she still went for it. I hope she's alright

 

[PercyPig]

I’ve slipped right into my Olympics wormhole of just watching ANYTHING and I don’t think I’ve done that before for the Winter Olympics. Usually just serve me the snowboard stuff and that’s it.

 

[Finn]

Same. I've watched more Winter Olympics in the past two days than in my entire previous existence

 

[PercyPig]

Ilia Malinin is an ICON

 

[Lucille]

Why do all the male ice skaters have THAT HAIR?

 

[PercyPig]

Tomororw is FULL ON

The new Super Saturday.

MASSIVE MONDAY

 

[straightorbroken]

Malinin was incredible. The backflip - I'm sure the other day Robin Cousins said they don't generate much more points, but it really added to how insanely good that was. Can't wait to see it again given that was just the teams. Also looking forward to Kaori Sakamoto's Time To Say Goodbye seeing as she's retiring.

Also enjoyed the slalom races. Not caught any speed-skating yet - hope I haven't missed them.

[big ron]

Got well into the curling yesterday

 

[Debbie Jellinsky]

Malinin was incredible. The backflip - I'm sure the other day Robin Cousins said they don't generate much more points, but it really added to how insanely good that was. Can't wait to see it again given that was just the teams.

I love his raspberry twists as well. He's just so good.

How cute were Matteo Rizzo happy tears about the bronze medal for Italy though? I loved his program as well. Apparently he's a police officer!

 

[Madison]

Kirsty Muir (GB) just misses out on a medal in the freeski slopestyle.

 

[straightorbroken]

Very tense curling right now against Sweden. 3 ends left.

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh that last end was rough.

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Ouch

 

[straightorbroken]

Och well. Those Swedes gubbed them.

 

[straightorbroken]

Sound of the music is terrible on the figure skating. Sounds like 2 songs are playing at once.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Are we looking at another 4th place for Mia in the snowboarding?

 

[Finn]

Bit bored of snowboarding now. MORE ICE DANCING OR FANCY SKIING PLS

 

[Finn]

Although that was from our Mia

 

[straightorbroken]

Is the ice skating actually on right now? Weird that the BBC aren't even having it as an iPlayer option if so.

 

[Finn]

Hopefully BBC Two will take us to it and cut out the gaps soon enough

Edit: 8:40pm, after some fancy skiing apparently. Thanks Claire Balding

 

[straightorbroken]

Bobsleigh alert on the red button feed.

Not sure if it's just a feature. Edit: yes it's just a feature, but still.

 

[Finn]

Kirsty Muir (GB) just misses out on a medal in the freeski slopestyle.

They're interviewing her boyfriend and it's fit Matt from The Traitors UK s1?!

 

[Lucille]

Good for her!

 

[Lucille]

Why are they playing the music in the Ice Dance arena on a potato? It wasn’t like this last night for the figure skating?

 

[straightorbroken]

The "disruptive" French pair. Hmmm.

Well, it's an amazing routine. Shame about their off-rink choices.

 

[Lucille]

Love the disgusting ice rink venue!
