And, you too, for a third time. Welcome again on your hot seat. So, I would have given you the opportunity to play sooner but we had some ... let's say technical difficulties. As promised though, we'll treat your run as a Christmas Special too. Which means you'll get a present after Q5. We'll just pretend this is the 24th again!

Whenever you're ready, let me know. @OlympicIRL OlympicIRL ♦ ♦ Ireland

Third run today for @OlympicIRL at around 8 pm CET, for those who want to take part as experts.

Yet more exciting in terms of winning nations than bobsleigh, if you exclude women's monobob.

@OlympicIRL Hey, do you want your run to be tomorrow night or on 28th?

Nevertheless, it was a great run and it was fun playing today. Glad you have enjoyed it too. You're always welcome to return in the future. This is Moves Like Jagger, by the way. You probably know it. And Merry Christmas everyone!
