It's sport. I'll be tuning in, as I do.

Will be shouting at the curling like I understand every nuance and will be screaming "Useless!" at every slip and missed gate in the slalom. Plus pretty much everything else inbetween.

Things I am looking forward to ice hockey great sport much underrated in general. Skeleton, bobsleigh etc absolute nutters who do that. Also was loving the snowboard races downhill which I think we're new last time round awesome, a bit like a better version of speed skating.

Out of betting interest

How many British medals?

How many British Golds?

Our realistic chances of one or the other are?

From what I've read. GB are forecast 6 medals. Best chance for Gold in Curling. A more than decent chance in women's skeleton. High hopes in freestyle skiing.

With no strength in depth, I'd suspect 4 medals total, with one gold, is more likely.

Will be closely following the Alpine skiing, obv  Smiley

Love the mad sliders & jumpers also.

Longy, Let us know which ice hockey matches to watch, the brutal grudge matches.

Why is it we seem to keep producing women who are world class at slidiing down an icy track on a tea-tray? Looks absolutely terrifying.

Who's this?

She'll be a big star in Sochi. She'll be odds on to win gold in her event.

Saw a snowboarding program the other day and there was a lad from the UK in it that was tipped for a medal chance.  He's made his own flashy move up and has been the only one to nail it so far (program air date) and the commentators were saying he had a great chance with it.  Can't remember his name sadly but I doubt we have loads of snowboarders.  It was the downhill jumping event, not the half-pipe, if there's a difference.

Edit - I think it's Billy Morgan

Cheers Graham, slopestyle is his event, for the cool dudes!

Been reading a little on this, to see if there is a betting angle.
