And of course the British being famous for curmudgeons, there were always plenty of curmudgeons to quote. Then of course from the opening ceremony and the cycle race on the very first morning it was obviously going to be triumph, so everyone just shut up for a while.

Would be much easier for the ISU to do if they were willing to accept an outdoor track for the Speed Skating, though.

Here's one from today!

And naturally he storms into the lead. And that should be the win, barring a collapse.

Was thinking yesterday that need one of their ladies to find a bit of arrogance & self-confidence.

Bened just stands aside & lets them all past.

Too bad, but will still be a PB and probably Olympic selection.

Seems like the early completion of the Bob/Luge track was a one-off. Elsewhere, there are familiar stories. Concerns over snow levels for the skiing events at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy have been raised by the president of the International Ski Federation (FIS). https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/c0mpyg3jwnlo

Heartbreak for in the curling, but a gold for Bree Walker in the monobob!

Record crowds for this weekend, according to the British Comms so well done les bouffe-grenouilles! Jeanmonnot has ice water in her veins, not giving anything away. Minkinnen up to second! That' s the win for , second for & a four-way fight for third! Wierer takes it! Top only 12th, dear oh dear.

Suspect strongly that the Sultan of is behind Global Wushu! Another one is long distance & ultra triathlon. There are literally millions being paid out in prize money to attract big name athletes from several sports, huge FTA TV coverage but seemingly no prospect of any profit. And the classic is obstacle racing, which has effectively bought up the ownership of Modern Pentathlon.

Link for the Alpine Luge this weekend Doh!

As I said elsewhere, there is always a chance when the big countries are limited to four athletes. Also, pray for changeable weather conditions in the time trial events. Blizzards have produced surprise golds in thd past!

Good news is that TNT have signed it up in so it will get the same all of everything coverage the Olympics gets. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5yj9pnl5n4o BBC might still get secondary FTA rights, as it does with the Olympics.

great day continues with Hornig up at the top in France.

Bit of a strange incident in the Women's race this morning as WC Leader Natalie Armbruster seemingly fainted on the long climb - eventually got up & finished, but she wasn't moving for a while.

Great start to the weekend for with a silver for Tabby Stoecker yesterday, then Gold for Matt Weston & Silver for Marcus Wyatt today!

In many cultures, Christmas season only officially starts when the Totallympics decorations go up.

There's no funding anymore, same as everywhere else.
