[Thunder Bolt]

I love ice hockey and enjoy watching the curling.

Prefer the Winter Games more than the Summer ones tbh.

Love ice hockey so cant wait for that - and I really like biathlon, & cross country skiing. If Dorothea Wierer is competing for Italy, I shall REALLY be enjoying the biathlon

I would love to see athletes at the Winter Olympics wearing Pooh T-shirts and carrying Pooh cuddly toys.

It's all a bit "meh " for me other than the Ice Hockey, we ain't a Nordic skiing nation and we never will be.

I live in Estonia now and the cross country skiing / shooting is massive over here, we have plenty of snow but no mountains. Top countries are Norway, Germany and France. As mentioned earlier its brutal, when they cross the finish line they are totally spent.

We punch above our weight with a smattering of Winter Olympic medals, despite little ice and snow here.

Dave Ryding is a brilliant Alpine skier and unlike spoilt kid others from these isles, didn’t have a silver spoon from middle class parents.

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

China confessing the truth about what they are doing to Uighurs

Is the right answer.

Is there an alpine/arctic triathlon? That's for psychopaths.

I am not surprised if she was trying to hit the stones with a golf club.

Beautiful Dorothea took bronze in the Biathlon 7.5km Sprint overnight.

Post race the BBC’s male commentator spent all his time talking about her and the Instagram following, the Norwegian winner barely a footnote. Strange that .

No doubt adding to her following in the process....and her estimated £88 Million fortune!
