Apparently the Winter Olympics have just been held in Canada?
Does anyone apart from Canadians care?
I watched a bit of the Ski Cross which was fairly exciting, and some of that ridiculous 'Aeriels' sport - which you'd have to be mad to participate in... apart from that, it's all passed me by quite happily!
Originally posted by blade68Good for you! The rest of us who do care were treated to gritty performances, great sports drama, a great host nation treating their guests well enough to make them want to stay, glitch free events and wonderful athletics displayed! Too bad you don't care! I'm sorry the games are over!

Originally posted by Very RustyBlade projects. Brits are sports crazy. Perhaps not as much as Yanks or Canadians, but they're up there. I love most sports so I'll watch almost anything. Canada put up some of the best winter games I've seen! I am proud of our neighbors to the north and know they are a glowing nation full of Canadian pride. They acquitted themselves with honor! I know the London games will be great!
Perhaps they should have gave them to a country who actually wanted them?

That said, I do find myself reminiscing about the halcyon days of Coe and Ovett...ahhh yes.... the 1980 Games was something special... getting home from school, muching on a Curly Wurly and watching England (Coe and Ovett were English, I don't believe in all this GB garbage - Alan Wells was Scottish) kick everyone's derriere on the running track... Starsky & Hutch... Tales Of The Unexpected.... John Craven's Newsround... Swap Shop... ok I'll shut up now!
