[Other Sport] Winter Olympics in Beijing 2022

[Swansman]

Exciting stuff, lots of... skiing and skating and those kind of things.

What are you looking forward to?

 

[pasty]

Love a bit of bobsleigh

 

[Is it PotG?]

Some good pile ups in the speed skating.

 

[wunt be druv]

Looking forward to it, always like watching a bit of sport with people slipping and sliding around...and you never know, might even be a gong or two for Team G.B....

What are you looking forward to?

Bobsleigh and ski jumping.

In bobsleigh Brad Hall is having a good World Cup. I will be surprised if Friedrich doesn't get gold for Germany.

Looking forward to the speed skating, snow board cross, and...the amazing Dave Ryding getting a medal for GB in the slalom. Go, Dave

 

[stewart12]

sports that I'd usually never contemplate watching and generally GB are absolute dogshit at most of them but I love it

that snowboard racing thing is absolutely epic, bobsleigh is great, ice hockey, most of the skiing

lots to enjoy

Some 9 or 10 years ago on a ski trip in Italy, we did the Olympic Bobsleigh run in Turin in a 4 man bob. An Italian former Olympic bob driver did the difficult bit, with three herberts sat, mostly terrified, behind him. I was sat directly behind him in seat 2, and as we set off he just turned round to me and asked me to try to not headbutt him!

Absolutely bloody loved it. Biggest adrenaline rush I've ever had.

Is Steve Ovett"s brother still doing the slidey thing on the tin tray?

 

[Motogull]

I really like those skiing races where 4 run at the same time - so much better than taking it in turns.

I have most admiration for the cross country skiers. That looks evil as activities go.

 

[BNthree]

Curling and biathlon.

 

[zefarelly]

Anything high speed sliding in ice down hills.
Snow board racing

 

[LamieRobertson]

Rugby on ice

 

[stewart12]

they should have a winter version of every summer olympic sport

ice pole vault, ice swimming, a velodrome made of ice, snow volleyball, 100m but running on ice (normal shoes)

 

[Beach Hut]

China confessing the truth about what they are doing to Uighurs

 

[Weststander]

Love the Winter Olympics. My first was Innsbruck 76, watching John Curry and Franz Klammer. So:

Alpine skiing
Speed skating
Short course speed skating
Probably watch freestyle where Brits might medal.
Ski Cross
Ice Hockey

Not to forget snowball

 

[knocky1]

A resort built in arid mountains without a millimetre of real snow.

 

[Baker lite]

Do we think China will wait until the games are over before flattening Taiwan?

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

Actually prefer Winter to Summer

Having Canadian blood,they will be getting my support

Especially in the Ice Hockey,play against the USA in the group games

Little known fact,Great Britain actually won the Ice Hockey Gold Medal in 1936!
