Just looked at the format for the ice hockey tournament.

There are twelve teams in the Group Stage. The top twelve go through to the knock-out stages. How pointless is that?

Is it really mean of me to love it when they build some British woman you've never heard of in your life and will remember for about a nano second when it's all over unless she's a Villa fan of course and she then falls on her backside? With her family all watching from the sideline

Yes. It's perfectly acceptable to laugh if an American buggers it up though.

Curling. I think i'm getting addicted to it. Just found myself skimming tea lights onto coasters across the dinner table.

I had a go at Curling a few years ago in Wengen. I loved it

Why do all the female competitors look and talk the same? It's like watching the Stepford Wives at times. Or am I just getting old?!

Is The Cope competing in the men's event ?

I just saw James Woods competing in the Kickstart with skis instead of bikes event. Didn't know they let celebrities in.

Elise Christie of GB about to start in the speed-skating final. Chance of a medal.

Silver barring disqualifications. Three of the four got knocked over though so possible the result won't be allowed to stand.

That silver didn't last long. She's been demoted to fourth place. Don't think she did much wrong, not sure if we're allowed to appeal.

I can't understand why they are showing snatches of the Winter Olympics on the Clare Balding Show?
