We are a maritime nation that doesn't really do cold. If there was a wet & miserable Olympics we may fare better?

All we do is moan about the cold
Why on earth would we want to try and be the best at something out in it 😂

if there was an apres ski medal section Im sure our lot who head for the likes Val d'Isere and Tignes to party would be on the list.
All of these comments are so true !
we'd better stick to Cricket and hockey and things like that I suppose, but we're not very good at those things either !

We'd clean up at a millennials Olympics. Easy golds in cancel culture, being offended and entitlement
On a serious note, these games should be dominated by regions that have a lot of snow, France, Scandinavia, Swiss, Canada etc. I've never even seen a snowboard yet alone win gold using one.
i'm sure the netherlands have loads of ice skating every winter LOL
Seriously though there are no doubt some rich folk who could figure skate but they are not 15 year olds who are "trained" from an early age solely to win a gold
I'm sure if we can make rich cyclist medals i nthe summer olympics we could buy some speed skating medals in a simialr fashion
I haven't seen much of it but I did enjoy the GB 2 man bobsleigh crossing the finishing line upside down.
Also why is it always Eve Muirhead and the Team GB women's curling team? The Team GB women's curling team would be just fine, I bet the other 3 girls get sick of it.
you'd imagine that curling and bowls are sort of the same thing but apparently nobody knows how to use a sweeping brush in the uk.
which is why brexit will eventually improve our winter olympic curling teams
My favourite is the Biathlon, but it must give you the gut ache, lying in the snow taking pot shots at bits of tin !
I thought also, that the Scots are supposed to have invented Curling ! can't call that a sport !
We have a downhill skier that won a world cup event about a month ago..Dave something...dunno how he did
But we are fresh out of sliding tea tray specialists currently...might scrape a curling bronze if we're lucky
Eve Muirhead is a bit of a curling babe though...

ive played curling and its really hard. i was good at whipping it down the ice to take out a rock but trying to get it to stop where you want is impossible for the novice. they're really skillful, even the scots. go canada.

She did a modelling photoshoot many years ago - no nudes but she looked decidedly sheepish. They are not coming up in search so I suspect she's had them removed? A few remain...

well...you would...but she looks better with black hair..which I was guessing was natural..hey ho
It's always Eve Muirhead and the GB Team because she is physically attractive and that is all TV companies care about. I mean it's why Rhona Martin is on commentary and not in the studio and as for Steve Cram....
That we have no snow now and Holland has no skating on frozen rivers is due to climate change. In the future there will be no Winter Olympics. The Summer Olympics will be in the winter and in summer we need to have lie downs. Think on that.

Exactly. Low-skilled brush sweepers from the EU are no longer allowed.
Improving our brush sweepng. Another Brexit win... as long as they are not 9-year olds.

We tend to be good at sports where we get to sit down - cycling, rowing, F1, horse riding, sailing (kind of). Not that many sports at the Winter Olympics where you get to sit on your arrse, apart from tobogganing.
While I will always support any British team competing, whatever the competition, sport, etc., either in the UK or abroad, I will always support them. But, given the debacle over the young Russian girl, testing +, then she wasn’t, then she can get a medal, then she might not, I don’t even bother watching.
The IOC are to blame for this, them and no one else. Their total complete and utter lack of defence/support for the Chinese tennis player who’s gone missing says it all.
Petrified of saying anything which might upset the big guns in international sport reduces them to a laughing stock, if not worse.
