❄⛸️🏒⛷️🏅 Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 ❄⛸️🏒⛷️🏅

Couldn’t see a thread, might be wrong.

Anyone excited? I’m excited. Can’t think of an event in the Winter Olympics that I don’t enjoy. Also I appear to not have a job, so I’m in for the job lot.

BBC seem to have coverage but I’ll be on Discovery+ as their coverage of the Summer Olympics was fantastic and they had everything. If you live in the UK and don’t have it, I’d advise getting a month’s trial or something as it really was streets ahead of the BBC. Much less just giving a shit about Team GB too, which BBC is always irritatingly guilty of.

Anyway, starts tomorrow. Opening ceremony on Friday but there’s Alpine Skiing, Curling and Luge tomorrow:

Can’t bloody wait, lads.

Bloody love the winter Olympics. No real interest in any of these sports at any other time so every four years I start from scratch with each event

I’ve not really followed ski jumping or figure skating for a few years but have tried to watch some over the past few months so I at least have a vague idea of what’s going on. Looking forward to all the tantrums and accusations when it’s short track time.

Just realised I am going to be working during the Opening Ceremony, boo-urns.

So excited for the Women’s Ice Hockey. Might root for Canada this year.

Spending the day applying for jobs in Bear in Nottingham. Little ice hockey break while I drink my pretentious and delicious coffee.

Had a lot of Domen Prevc show up in my YouTube feed. Norway had a crisis due to an equipment-based cheating scandal last year.

Aww, Japan were really cute

Good as expected but he can still be tossed into the sea :nauseated_face:

I don’t understand this scandal. Wouldn’t it be easier to do a reverse boxer routine, and bulk before your suit fitting then cut before your jump? Or is that forbidden somehow?

The suits are measured directly before/after the jump, not when they’re made

Also suit disqualifications are very common, there will usually be at least one or two every competition.

“Georgia” :no_mouth:

Still so sad Jason didn’t qualify :cry:

Ugh, these outfits are so tacky even if it is a Spice Girls theme.

Like she literally looks like she just fell off a lamppost.
