2026 Winter Olympics Milano-Cortina

First, brilliant work from Matt Weston.

Second, I can’t be the only one to wish the BBC would play the Darth Vader theme when the phalanx of snowboarding support clears the half pipe in a V formation 👍

One of my favourite comments from the snowboarding team so far:

‘He’s got to take that run, rip it up and spread it over the kitchen table.’

Closely followed by (I may not have got the right tricks, here):

‘Oooh! Switch rodeo! Cab 12 60 handlebars! Frontside 12 Nosegrab! Oooh! Drunk Driver, switch 14, triple cork, backside 12!
OooOoh! Oh. It was all immaculate until then.’

Can I just say how much I appreciate an alley oop and the fact that a run has to be clean.
‘They’re germophobes in the judges’ box.’

These guys (Tim Warwood and Ed Leigh, reading across the screen) are the best thing to hit commentating since the last Winter Olympics and I think they also did the skateboarding in the summer Os.

I hope they carry on for a long time, yet.

Slipped over in the final and DNF, he was penalised for something via VAR.
