Nothing more exciting than watching a man hard at work with a sweeping brush.

Ya right…and the wife yelling, “Hurry, hurry hard.”


Frida Karlsson, from Sweden, delivered a commanding performance, claiming Olympic gold in the 20km skiathlon race (10km classic + 10km freestyle) – complete results from the women’s event.
Frida Karlsson crossed the finish line in a winning time of 53:45.2, claiming the gold medal. Ebba Andersson, also from Sweden, secured the silver medal, finishing 51.0 seconds back.

Good start.

Perhaps you meant spooning?


Commiserations to Lindsey Vonn. A sad reward for such a brave competitor. Hope the injury isn't as bad as it looked.

I was at Dialysis and missed it, how did the game go?

I know GBR were off to a great start!

We won but Canada will still probably make the semi finals.

GB has won all of its opening 7 matches.

@Ghost,
Thanks I know you guys had a very good Team, that was the mixed right?

How did the game itself go was it all one sided or did Canada put up a good challenge? I could get the scores with no problem as you know off of the internet.

Just wanted your opinion of how the game went.

Yeah, mixed. I think the Brits went 3 up straight away and Canada were not able to close the gap. We had a slight wobble against USA but brought it home.

Yes, I thought might be the way it had gone. GBR have a great mixed pair!

Not so much here, but the siblings Isabella och Rasmus Wranå do well competing.

That looked awful! And she was racing at breakneck speed with a knee brace for a torn cruciate ligament.
