Winter Olympics underway

Now the winter Olympics have officially started this weekend and from what I have seen so far the competition looks good.  Fantastic ski jumping down to the last jump and this is on the smaller slope jumping 107 meters, wow!
I just love watching the speed skating, so explosive and on the shorter races always excitement often right on the last bend, the Koreans and Chinese always look string at this event, mind you we have a couple of British girls doing well, Sarah Lindsay and Elise Christie both making it through to the quarter finals of the 500m track.
Adam Rosen in the luge did well finishing 16th, so well done to him, unfortunately missed out on a top 15 place, but still a good effort, while on the luge I must send my condolences to the family and friends of the guy that lost his life in the luge.
Good luck to the curling team, we often do well at this, so no pressure guys!
And I could not go without saying finally the downhill looks ready to go ahead today after being delayed, so good luck to Chemmy Alcott, David Ryding and Edward Drake.
And let's keep an eye on Zoe Gillings in the snowboarding cross.
