Pyeongchang 2018 - Winter Olympics

Another day done and dusted. Favourite moments though have to be the men’s snowboarding slope style final, won by the 17 year old American which and Britain’s Andrew Musgrave coming 7th in the men’s skiathalon, our nations best ever finish in cross country skiing.

 

Red Gerard.

 

Indeed, and Chloe Kim has won the women’s snowboarding half pipe.

 

Well an absolutely gutting day for Elise Christie in the women’s short track 500m. I hope she will bounce back and take a medal in her other two events!

In other news I predicted Germany would be top of the medal table by the games end, so far as of the end of day 4, I seem to be right!

 

Well Britain is off the mark! A bronze in the skeleton for Dom Parsons the first for a British man since 1948

 

In other news, a Czech Woman who had never skied competitively before won gold in Women's Super G.

 

And she could yet win another gold in the snowboarding as well!

 

Well I feel I neglected this thread as I was too engrossed in the sport!

Norway topped the medal table, with the most medals ever won by a nation in the winter games.

Great Britain made history with 5 medals, including our first medal on ski’s, first male snowboarding medal, first medal skeleton medal in 70 years, first time two British winter athletes have been on the podium in the same event and the first British athlete and female skeleton athlete to retain their title.

 

I know the olympics are well over, but why didn’t anyone talk about figure skating

 

Not sure, in fairness I didn’t pay too much attention to it.

 

I miss Pyeonchang, so should I be more excited for Tokyo or Beijing?

 

Be excited for both though more for Tokyo as that happens first!
