Milano Cortina 2026

[Madison]

Only the Australian Brown can stop a GB medal now.

GB MEDAL

 

[Eddie]

Yayayay

 

[Finn]

MOST SUCCESSFUL TEAM GB WINTER GAMES EVER (thanks to the gold numbers)

 

[Finn]

 

[Madison]

BRONZE

 

[Eddie]

I guess 5 METRES COUNTS FOR NOTHING then!

 

[Agneeta]

We've got one of everything!

 

[dmlaw]

That was CLEARLY BETTER than at least the silver medalist.

 

[Finn]

We've got one of everything!

Up on the meagre one gold and one silver at the 2022 games

 

[Finn]

Also, in Moopy terms, this is our current tally with still some bobsled and a whole fucking closing ceremony to go:

Winter Olympics 2022 - 71 posts, across two threads

Winter Olympics 2026 - 725 posts, across three threads

I guess that’s what happens when the events are on at sensible times. All future Olympics to be held in Europe.

Tim and Ed are the true stars of Milano 2026.

Found Tim quite hot with his hat off

 

[PercyPig]

Hope we get a lovely BBC montage

How old is Tim Warwood? He seems like he could be in his 50s but I’m not so sure.

 

[Agneeta]

Looking at pictures of Tim Warwood he's been on a 20 year battle with twink death.

 

[Agneeta]

I guess we should have a thread - see if we can beat the whopping 71 posts Beijing 2022 got.

I think you did it.

 

[PercyPig]

So MUCH ASS

Do it in jock straps

 

[ILL ADVISED]

He looks like a younger Alan Titchmarsh

 

[Eddie]

Greg seems more of a leader of that team than Brad Hall.

How Italians fell in love with their Winter Olympics after gaffes turned into gold

After a slow start, when the hosts began to pick up medals in the second week the public’s imagination was captured

Yeah thought he spoke really well

 

[Eddie]

Yeah thought he spoke really well

For a brakeman (given that they usually don’t have much to add) he was far better spoken than the pilot. I wonder if he ever tried to be one.

 

[ILL ADVISED]

 

[Agneeta]

QUITE RIGHT

The tone is a bit disparaging to the Great Sport of Curling but I’ll take it.

BBC CLOSING GAMES MONTAGE ALERT

From 3h35m: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episo...s-ice-hockey?seriesId=m002gjj5-manual-1-today

Just lovely.

 

[Madison]

We’re apparently getting performances from Eurovision acts

Spoiler

Gabry Ponte and Achille Lauro

tonight.

 

[Finn]

Closing ceremony time.

Curious that they're doing it from neither Milan or Cortina, but the crumbly old venue looks

 

[PercyPig]

The flag bearers looked as terrified as a family who’ve turned up at the theatre and realised there’s to be audience participation

 

[Madison]

What a maudlin rendition of such a jolly anthem.

 

[Finn]

I'm having a nice enough time, but this ceremony needs Damiano David

 

[Madison]

That has to be the best La Marseillaise ever.

 

[Finn]

Hazel Irvine does NOT know her Ludovico Einaudi ("new composition" my foof)

 

[Madison]

This song got nil points at SanMoopy 2025.

 

[Finn]

Goodbye Winter Olympics, you've been super

 

[Agneeta]

We liked it more than Beijing. Ten times as much!

 

[PercyPig]

Guess I’ll have to do some work now
