maqroll Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Sad that the dominant theme leading up to the games has been terrorism. If I had a family member or friend participating in the games, I'd be more than a little worried... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3u5DOOj5L4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 yeah, it should be a great games with the BBC making it the most covered / interactive in history but you just know its going to be overshadowed not really that fussed by the winter olympics tbh, will watch some ice hockey, probably some bobsledding and a bit of the tricksy ski / snow boarding stuff asked the girlfriend about it on Sunday whilst she was watching the god awful dancing on ice will she be watching the figure skating, "nah i'm not really in to it" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Bored of it already. The commercials and special shows have been going on here for months it feels like. Will watch the hockey when it comes to the knockout games and try my best to avoid the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardiffGreens Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 For some reason I've always been fascinated with the biathlon, something odd about getting people to ski super fast, then stop and try and shoot straight. (Though I blame it on the awesome Winter Games on the C64). Will be tuning in for as much as I can see, bobsleigh, ice hockey and the snowboard X will be the other stuff I'll be particularly looking out for.... Oh and the curling, for some reason hearing Eve Muirhead screaming "haarrrrd" gets the pulse racing in ways it shouldn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) saw in the paper Jamaica have qualified, for the 2 man i think, they were trying to raise £50k to pay for costs so that they could go and for some reason cardiffgreens biathlon is my moms favourite sport, its on eurosport all winter, she loves it Edited January 22, 2014 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted January 22, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 22, 2014 I'm confused. No mention of Jenny J in any of the team pages. Do they even have her particular form of boarding in the WO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
