Dr Who? Posted 6 February, 2013 Share Posted 6 February, 2013 Quite fancy the winter Olympic next Feb. had my name down for a few months now, and now on the list. Thinking of going for a week 16th -23rd and booking up for the whole family. Only if I get tickets mind. Quite fancy ice hockey, ski jump, snow boarding and bobsleigh. Anyone else on here into their winter sports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 7 February, 2013 Share Posted 7 February, 2013 (edited) Yep, really enjoy the Winter Olympics. Still feels like genuine sport, not like the Summer Circus. Also somewhat satisified that the one significant fly-in-the-ointment to this sporting spirit, Lynsey Vonn, appears likely to miss it. She's a one-woman circus.

Kingsland Nick Posted 7 February, 2013 Share Posted 7 February, 2013 . Quite fancy ice hockey GB will probably not qualify, after losing 6-2 to Latvia http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/ice-hockey/21377287 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 8 February, 2013 Author Share Posted 8 February, 2013 GB will probably not qualify, after losing 6-2 to Latvia http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/ice-hockey/21377287 They are out, just lost to the powerhouse that is France! Not qualified for years and would be peed off if I got tickets for a game like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_saint Posted 8 February, 2013 Share Posted 8 February, 2013 We'd better start attracting a better class of Canadian has-been for our national ice-hockey team, then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 9 February, 2013 Author Share Posted 9 February, 2013 The sport does originate from Britain..... My god! I watch Guildford flames and they are full of Canadians, and here is the problem. British national league my arse, bit like the English premier league. Also been looking for an American football team in the local area, and they are full of, yes you guessed it Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwaysaint Posted 9 February, 2013 Share Posted 9 February, 2013 Fifth world championship for Aksel Lund Svindal in slalom! That's in addition to his Olympic gold from 2010. He's not quite up there with Kjetil Andre Aamodt yet, but must be the one to watch in 2014. Funny to see that there is a British cross country skiing hope. I never thought anybody British could compete with the Norwegians. Pretty much every Norwegian can cross country ski pretty well by the age of about 5 and that's not an exaggeration. I'd put it far ahead of any other sport for participation here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/winter-sports/21394021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsland Nick Posted 10 February, 2013 Share Posted 10 February, 2013 Three golds so far for Emil Hegle Svendsen in the Biathlon World Championships http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZv2DUV2sCw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
