The games start on February 4 in the winter paradise that is Beijing. The snow will be fake but the smog is not.

The bad news that came out last night is the NHL has decided not to release it's players for the men's hockey tournament as expected due to COVID issues.

And then there's curling and ice dancing so you've got time to get stuff done around the house.

Wait, the Winter Olympics are on? When did this happen?

Ehhhh... I'll probably not watch it anyway.

Covid is absolutely ravaging the Scandinavian countries' athletes, there have been some positive tests on one of the chartered planes.

So that's fun.

I love snowboarding but they have that Ed Leigh twat commentating on it.

Bobsleigh is good.

TBF the whole Beijing, fake snow shit bugs me. It should never have been awarded it.

Up there with hosting a World Cup in Qatar for me. Worse if you consider the Uighur concentration camps.

He is in a university choir, part of one the ceremonies I believe.

Chinese sure know how to put on a show. Spectacular opening ceremony.

Love how you can just get engrossed in some sport you’d never dream of watching. The setting for the cross country is a bit epic under lights with the sunset over mountains in background.

SARS & Covid will always live fondly in the memory bank

Edit: would I be right in hoping this is all available via red button? (If not, where can it be watched, please?)

Men's slopestyle tomorrow, and I just read that Shaun White is 35... That makes me feel really old.
