commentary & I'm sure I miss some exciting interviews etc but the beeb just seems so dire.You don't see it on TV, but they also zoom in to pick up and replace markers that have been knocked out of place. When they aren't doing that they are stood in a corner seemingly at risk of a speed skater coming flying towards them blades in air at any point, no thank you.I want to be one of the ice fillers for the speed skating
I was irrationally (and unfairly) happy that Malinin didn't win, I do t like his routines and find the jumps jar with the routine. Seems a cocky type too which doesn't help. Very happy with the result.Have we all moved on from the men's figure skating? I'm catching up on iplayer and omg the performances were pretty bad for an Olympics final! So many falls. I was really happy for Shaidorov though. He looked stunned when he realised he was getting gold.Adorable reactions from the medallists.
I felt sorry for Malinin. He was hyped so much and that's got to add pressure. This might be an odd reference, but if anyone's read Song of Achilles by Madeleine Miller, he totally reminded me of Achilles. The 'golden' athlete but unfortunately all the hubris as well.
I think he's young and will learn a lot from this. I thought the fact that he showed up to watch the pairs event probably says a lot about his character. I would still be under a duvet sobbing.
I shouldn’t laugh as he is heartbroken but it just made me laugh seeing him stomp off.He's off to live in the woods - duck it all!!The last guy in the slalom who skied out and has gone stomping off near to the woods after throwing his poles and removing his skis
I thought it was even more funny after the previous comment about sobbing under a duvetThe last guy in the slalom who skied out and has gone stomping off near to the woods after throwing his poles and removing his skis
a duvet of snow right 
Yes, said the same to Mr Giraffe
I haven’t seen a huge amount of curling but both times Steve Cram has said something about the tactics or what he’d do next and the woman alongside him has said no, that’s not what you’d do!Someone said that Steve Cram doesn't know much about curling but always remembers about the hammer rule and mentions it all the time and now I can't not hear it
The interesting conversation I’ve seen is whether he will be able to keep his “top dog” position for the next couple of years as the other men improve and new blood gets introduced from the current jun
he was just talking to Claire Balding and he seems such a nice chap.The weather at the Big Air ramp looks absolutely horrific! I’m not sure if the event is going ahead.
Have been enjoying Matt Weston’s many memes on Instagram. Sports personality of the year is sewn up
