Surreal

Weston and Bankes confirmed as closing ceremony flagbearers:

That would be insane, cant see it happening. There's already a sliding track in La Plagne basically ready for Olympic competition so it doesn't make any sense. Getting rid of a historic sport like bobsleigh would surely also get a lot of backlash despite the German domination.

Slovakia were beaten 6-1 in the Ice hockey bronze medal match so we'll end this Olympics with 30 nations winning medals. Still ties the record!

Bobsleigh: Yes Freestyle Skiing: No Ceremonies: Matt Weston & Charlotte Bankes

Bobsleigh: Yes Cross-Country Skiing: No Curling: No Freestyle Skiing: No

Bobsleigh: Yes Freestyle Skiing: Yes Speed Skating: Yes

In the end, that loss against China in our opening match is what cost us a place in the semis. China finished last in the standings.

Still in USA's hands, they have the hammer now.

USA 5-2 up on SUI after 7 ends. Looks like GBR are going out.

Bobsleigh: 2 Curling: Yes Freestyle Skiing: No

Yeah, basically we need to beat Italy + hope USA lose to Switzerland, and we should just squeak through. If we make it through, we'll play Sweden in the semis as they are guaranteed to finish top of the standings and we'll finish fourth at best.

When was the last time a team advanced to the semis with a negative record at the Olympics? Because that could happen tomorrow if both Norway and Italy lose.

So close! Never expected them to get that close to a medal though, and a 5th is the best ever British cross-country skiing performance at an Olympics, so we'll take it.

OH MY GOD! HOW HAVE THE WOMEN WON THAT GAME? Rebecca Morrison with a SUBLIME last shot. GBR somehow still cling on to a chance of the semis. I'd accepted defeat after the 7th end lol

Bobsleigh: 4 Cross-Country Skiing: No Curling: Yes

Christopher Grotheer, Olympic champion from 2022 and double bronze medalist from these Games, announced his retirement yesterday. "My mind is willing, but my body is not quite like that anymore" : https://www.olympics.com/en/milano-cortina-2026/news/winter-olympics-2026-christopher-grotheer-announces-retirement-skeleton-double-bronze-milano-cortin An absolute skeleton legend, also a 7-time(!) World Champion to go with his Olympic crown. He's been Weston's main rival the last 4 years and was the dominant force in Skeleton before Weston rose to the top. Hope he has a happy retirement!

Yeah, I won't be tuning in until 6. Pretty quiet few days coming up for us now, no other medal chances until Saturday.

Bobsleigh: No Curling: Yes Figure Skating: No

Alpine Skiing: No Bobsleigh: No Curling: Yes Figure Skating: No Freestyle Skiing: Yes Short Track Speed Skating: No

Yeah those 3 have great chances. Hope we get all 3 so its our most successful Games in terms of medals won too.

Dont want to ruin the celebrations but Brookes shockingly does not make the final of the snowboard slopestyle. We can never have it all can we?

First time EVER we've won multiple Golds at one Winter Games too!!!

YESSSSSSS!!!!

OMG just caught up on the dual moguls and ITS HAPPENED! I've got my first correct podium! Only took me 9 days, thank you men's dual moguls field.

This snowboard cross team event is too stressful for me
