The Winter Olympics are coming up (in four months, but still), and the wintersport season's just starting off with hockey and figure skating first in line.
So, here it is, the thread for ALL snow and ice related sports! Now start talkin'.

I'll definately be watching the womens curling to see if the scottish can win again original.gif

Methinks the Swedish women are pretty good at curling too, or am I wrong? dontgetit.gif

No your not wrong they are very good, i was as surprised as everyone else when the Scots won it the last time, i dont think they will this time but ya gotta hope i've got my money on Canada this time.

Weeee, Sweden's good at something! tongue.gif
But then, we've also got Anja Pärson, some cross-country skiiers and a pretty decent figure skater in Kristoffer Berntsson...

But the Olympic gold in figure skating is for Evgeni Plushenko of Russia. He got the silver in SLC, when Alexei Yagudin won, but now it's his turn...

I would'nt know about figure skating, not really my thing!
Tried it once and could'nt stay on my feet so gave it up as a bad job tongue.gif

I'm looking forward to the speed events like the Bobsleigh, now that i would'nt mind trying there'd be a strange smell at the end but boy what an adrenalin rush grin2.gif

The only sport I've tried and liked is alpine skiing. Not slalom so much (it's no fun turning this way and that all the time as the speed gets so hampered) but straight ahead downhill, THAT'S my cup of tea! It's fast, it's fun and gravity does most of the work. grin2.gif
