even countries like Jamaica, Brazil participate at winter olympics, not in it to win something but just taking part and having a wonderful time, once in a lifetime experience

and they go out to countries like Canada to train


Saudi Arabia also they made their debut at skiing, they basically got indoor skiing facilities in own country but for outdoors they head to either Canada or Switzerland



Australia also getting quite some medals now is also surprising a warm country, but still some areas apparently there have some snow in some higher parts of their mountains, and also indoor training facilities + heading out earlier than everyone else to the olympics location to train longer than some other countries whom are more experienced at winter sport events



we dutch, well our speed skaters train the entire year, winters on the ice, spring and summer on the road with wheels just to practice certain movements with your legs, arms and also on the fitness bicycles


belgians come into our country to train, like Bart Swings, Mathias Vosté




but yeah if TeamGB doesn't want to try out anything, don't moan if its your worst winter olympics to date


also should've been more focus on few more replacements for Elise Christie at shorttrack speed skating, another mistake made by GB's comittee

Curling is not a sport, which is why we dutch do not take part in this event

I maybe in the minority here but I think that the Olympics curling event is a complete farce !!

Why don’t they just have a true test of skill and let ONE guy just throw the thing down and dispense with those guys brushing the ice !?!

Imagine Messi taking a free kick and some guy on the goal line tips it into the top corner ..


Don’t get me on that loudmouth American guy who spends all his time SHOUTING out all his thoughts and ideas at the top of his voice !!


Aghhh !!!

That final shot was woeful, should have sat on the red and asked Edin to risk it all to remove it, we were outplayed in everyway today but Edin is a legend of the game and deserved his Olympic gold

Tune in to Channel 4 at 12pm today for live Super league rugby.

Hull FC vs St Helens.

Channel 4 now have coverage of Super league games and show one on a Saturday lunchtime.

Once the Rugby league game grips you there's no going back, you will become hooked.
