Winter Olympics.

Could be worse….testing positive for novichok! See off the opposition and gold is assured! 😉

I agree with ABM's post, it's very sad, I didn't enjoy watching the young skater yesterday, she is very talented but her life has been subsumed by the adults in charge of her. However the Olympic Committee have responsibilities here and they have let everyone down. Oh well back to the bobsleighs...

I agree brue. What is the point of having the competition if no medals are to be awarded. It’s become all about the ROC athlete, and none of the others. Personally, I think better for her to withdraw, clear her name, then come back and compete again. She is young enough. A win will taint her for life. It does sound like she is a victim here, although the defence is that she was too close to her Grandad’s angina medicine🤔

It’s interesting when you look back and see how many medal wins from different Olympics have been scrubbed from the records. 31 positive drug tests from London 2012 alone. Vast majority were Russian athletes in this case. So sad as it denies others the chance to stand on a podium at the time of victory. 

I have no further comments to make wrt the actual skating competition, but it was very sad to see the youngster skating so far below her best, and with a tear streaked face,  in total it brought no kudos to R.O.C., I.O.C. or C.A.S. !

A difficult watch. She should never have been put into that position.

Cheering on the Women’s curling team at the moment🤞

A Russian and now a Ukrainian tested positive-oh how they love the limelight, for all the wrong reasons 

Moving on…….WOW!! Britain now have 2 teams going for gold in the curling events!!! Brilliant to watch them, particularly the thrilling women’s semifinal!

C J Ujah  has given us Brits even less moral standing than ever following last years Tokyo summer Olympics !!  I'm just hoping there is no trace of chewing gum on the various 'stones' this week  

Yes Brian, this story broke about 5 minutes after my previous post. What a disgraceful character. Shame on him

Well done to our Men’s Curling team. Very exciting final and a Silver medal 👍

Curling team did well although I felt for them having so nearly got there, at least GB now have a medal! 

The men's curling was exciting and a silver.

The women's was good too and a gold.

Well done to all the athletes can't have been an easy games. But you all tried your best, we can ask no more. 👏👏👏👏
