Looking forward to it, always like watching a bit of sport with people slipping and sliding around...and you never know, might even be a gong or two for Team G.B....

sports that I'd usually never contemplate watching and generally GB are absolute dogshit at most of them but I love it

that snowboard racing thing is absolutely epic, bobsleigh is great, ice hockey, most of the skiing

lots to enjoy

Some 9 or 10 years ago on a ski trip in Italy, we did the Olympic Bobsleigh run in Turin in a 4 man bob. An Italian former Olympic bob driver did the difficult bit, with three herberts sat, mostly terrified, behind him. I was sat directly behind him in seat 2, and as we set off he just turned round to me and asked me to try to not headbutt him!

Absolutely bloody loved it. Biggest adrenaline rush I've ever had.

I really like those skiing races where 4 run at the same time - so much better than taking it in turns.

I have most admiration for the cross country skiers. That looks evil as activities go.

they should have a winter version of every summer olympic sport

ice pole vault, ice swimming, a velodrome made of ice, snow volleyball, 100m but running on ice (normal shoes)

Especially in the Ice Hockey,play against the USA in the group games

Little known fact,Great Britain actually won the Ice Hockey Gold Medal in 1936!
