I thought the whole event was fab. Not a weak link anywhere. Were getting a very brief period of the Nordics with snow and -3% weather so i'll do some ice cycling to work in remembrance. And mebbe nick a tea tray from the kitchen if it holds. I'l show 'em Nordic combined.

I watched about three minutes (maybe less) of figure skating and five or six minutes of luge.

I just could not summon any interest for these winter olympics like I have in the past.

I'm just a sucker for TOTL Ski jumping and Biathlon, and have been for many years. Just like Hi FI really. I can't do 'em, never had the chance to, and the artistry, skill with danger overcome, mixed with the purity of ice and snow, is a constant draw. Well, every four years anyway. But then we last had a period of extensive snow in 1982. It might be old news if you get heavy snow every winter.

Perhaps the USA only comes close to a medal in biathlon in the 'normal' Olympics, but the USA has done very well in the 2018 Paralympics biathlon. Congratulations to all for their performance.
