Anything that close by @dermott

I've watched the men's downhill and the women's speedskating and really really tried to get caught up in curling, but I didn't succeed.

Did you see the opening ceremony Val? Waving your flag for the Dutch!

I saw some highlights and was blinded by the amount of orange 😃 You Brits have quite a delegation.

Couldn't be less interested. Especially up against 6 Nations rugby. No contest. To make my day, Italy beat Scotland in monsoon conditions in Rome. Forza!

That was exciting! First an olympic record by Kok, then Leerdam tops it with yet another olympic record.

Those freestyle complicated jumps people are wusses by the way. I've had tumbles like that without even training for it.

Leerdam is impressive.

She worked hard for this medal. Then again they all worked hard to get to the Olympics 😏

I can't imagine being so focused (or obsessed). I took 10 one-hour tennis lessons years ago, totally voluntary, and I was fed up after 30 minutes and longing to just go home and slouch.

Yeahhh thanks, but she's not really my rolemodel.

Was trying to be diplomatic about it. Let’s just say in many ways.

I see Norway won Brazil their first ever gold medal then!
