I found this BTS clip interesting, it is the guy who is the on-ice cameraman for the figure skating, and he used to be a figure skater himself.

I really like that they’re wearing all white - there was a crash with one of the camera people on the speed skating and I didn’t even realise that they were there as they blended into the ice

Seems a bit dangerous but I’m sure it makes the watching experience better in person
 
Well done team GB for 5th in the Men's Cross Country Team Sprint final. Don't think we've ever done that well.

Watching women’s aerials, and I’d completely forgotten about this event. It seems so much less cool than the other freestyle events 😅 It’s more like a combination of ski jump and gymnastics than something you’d see in the X Games.

I am watching hockey in the background (still some work to do) and man, I read about Canada's new boy wonder Celebrini and he just showed why

how crazy it must be to watch hockey live, it is so fast I can't even follow on screen, with commentary, can't imagine how people follow the game while sitting in the arena. I only watch hockey during Olympics so every 4 years I am in awe of the speed of action 😂

celebrini is amazing! and still a baby! sidney crosby is old enough to be his dad!

i’ve watched it for years and still can’t work out how exactly they see where the puck is 🤣 it’s so fast. i also need the bbc to realise that there are THREE periods because the amount of times they’ve cut the coverage after two so far is crazy.

I am still watching hockey with one eye with the other on my files and writing, but it is definitely interesting at this point

Sidney got injured and is not playing and Czechs just scored and are leading. And it is play off phase already so who loses goes home

Sweet scenes at short track, two brothers on a podium, and it's one of them birthday today.

The referree in short track is a memorable person from these Olympics for me - I swear my blood pressure rose everytime I saw him skating to the centre of the ice rink during thses games as he always has a stone face and you never know what penalty he will announce 😅

i can’t believe sid is injured; the nhl is going to ban them from going again 😭😭

it was a great game and, as a long-term mitch marner fan, beyond happy that he got the winner!

Just watched yesterday's men's Big Air Final. It was absolutely insane!

I'll have to find the women's tomorrow, but I feel like it will be a let down after the men's.

Oh this looks fun, there is a ski alpinism now, I think it is a new discipline, they ran uphill on skis, there are obstacles, now they are running on stairs without skis and putting them back on to run further, I guess they will go downhill later switching set up of skis so the heel is secured too.

I think it’s based on randonee which is where you walk up the mountain on skis with skins and ski down. But this looks a bit more like it’s using the ski cross type obstacles.

And they have backpacks for competition - I have no idea why tbh, will have to research this 😅 I understand it is a necessity when you are doing ski touring for real, for safety and to carry some clothes/equipment, but for competition? Just to attach skis to it for the stairs part(?) Interesting
