Thanks #bbcolympics for the brilliant coverage on iPlayer.
To the athletes, I'm incredibly proud to witness what you've done.
As an Irishman I had very little skin in the game but Bravi to the hosts #Italia for their fantastic efforts & 30 medals.
To the Freestyle skiers, you are gods & legends!
#BBColympics Whereas the London #Olympics ceremonies were, sadly, very Americanised, nice to get plenty of native Italian culture as #MilanoCortina2026 comes to a close. My WalkaboutsVerse #poem, with #photos, on #Italy as "A Beautiful Stage" walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2011/11/walk...
#BBColympics #MilanoCortina2026 As I've said for decades, the medals table should be ordered via 3 points for a Gold, 2 for a Silver, & 1 for a Bronze davidfranks.blogspot.com
#BBCOlympics #MilanoCortina2026 The #NationalLottery funds #TeamGB medals &, by giving GAMBLERS a slight chance to be much wealthier than their neighbours, prevents them questioning the revolting inequality of capitalism & monarchism; my #poem "An Opium" walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2010/11/walk...
#BBColympics #WinterOlympics #MilanoCortina2026 On a lighter note, I'm sure last time I tuned into #icehockey they had borrowed the Wurlitzer organ from Blackpool & it was loud & clear! davidfranks.blogspot.com
Really enjoyed the Winter Olympics ice hockey coverage, but am truly sick & tired of that film bit on the US "miracle on ice" win in 1980 & all the endless talk/hype about it on BBC's coverage. Seen nothing similar about Canada's hockey history at the Olympics #BBCOlympics #MilanoCortina2026
#BBCOlympics they say that “cheats never prosper”, try applying that statement to the Men’s Canadian Curling Team. 🤔
Is Montell getting paid per word? #BBCOlympics
#bbcolympics
Great why have the Bobsleigh on when you can have 3 blokes talking like fish wives.
#BBColympics #WinterOlympics #MilanoCortina2026 #TeamGB, re the women's #halfpipe, does Zoe Atkin plan to live in the UK or just take #NationalLottery/gamblers' money? My WalkaboutsVerse #poem, with #photos, "An Opium" walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2010/11/walk...
Tim and Ed...the best commentators by a country mile! #BBCsport #bbcolympics #milanocortina2026 #halfpipe
#BBCOlympics another British “favourite” craps out and gets a bronze!! 🙁
#BBColympics #WinterOlympics #MilanoCortina2026, re the women's #halfpipe competitors, my WalkaboutsVerse #poem, with #photos, on "#Olympics or Globalisation" walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2010/10/walk...
#BBCOlympics only one more day of having to listen to these two old fogies, Warwood and Leigh, spouting their nonsense! Hopefully the BBC will realise in four years, they really are too old!!
As these #WinterOlympics draw to a close, a shoutout to #bbcolympics Ed Leigh & Tim Warwood who've entertained & educated us all, explaining Truck Drivers, Bloody Draculas & backside 10s, switch 7s Japan grabs...
I've enjoyed these games hugely, especially the action from the Livigno snowpark.
It's heartbreaking to see people so upset after a magnificent performance. They won an Olympic medal, and that's an achievement that most of us can only dream of. It shows how much this means to them. I wish we as a country could give them a collective hug. #Curling #WinterOlympics #BBCOlympics
I’ve never been more stressed about stones in my life
#curling #bbcolympics #winterolympics
It’s not really fair to count Klaebo’s medals as part of Norway. He should be his own country. #bbcolympics
Re “oggy, oggy, oggy” chants on the #BBColympics #MilanoCortina2026 #curling coverage, my #poem (the only one with a spoken-chorus) on the Cornish #pasty, from WalkaboutsVerse, with #photos, "Tin-Miners' Lunch" walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2011/07/walk...
You may recognise the Cortina #WinterOlympics #Curling stadium.
It featured in the James Bond film For Your Eyes Only, starring Roger Moore.
Bond was ambushed on the ice rink by assassins disguised as ice hockey players

Build up to #Curling final for #TeamGB
#BBCOlympics #WinterOlympics #MilanCortina2026
Starts in 20 mins⏰
#BBColympics #MilanoCortina2026 As I've said for decades, the medal table should be ordered via 3 points for a Gold, 2 for a Silver, & 1 for a Bronze; &, in the case of #TeamGB, NOT funded by #NationalLottery GAMBLING, which is, my #poem, "An Opium" walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2010/11/walk...
#BBColympics #MilanoCortina2026 Well done #klaebo on 6 golds. My WalkaboutsVerse #poem, with #photos, on #Italy as "A Beautiful Stage" walkaboutsverse.blogspot.com/2011/11/walk...
Re #BBColympics #MilanoCortina2026, #aerials seems to have plenty in common with cliff-diving - lots of manoeuvres before landing feet first, etc. Easy to imagine Gary Hunt & Rhiannan Iffland picking it up quickly. davidfranks.blogspot.com
5yo keeps sneaking out of her bedroom because she doesn’t want to miss Ed Leigh’s commentary on the skiing half pipe. #bbcolympics
Has anyone at #BBCOlympics got the "amplitude" to get rid of these two ridiculous old fogies, Warwood and Leigh, before the next Winter Olympics?
How come they’re not going in reverse order? #bbcolympics
Re #BBColympics #MilanoCortina2026, their precise nature seems well-suited to the game of #curling, & the Swiss have become very good at it - both the (unlucky) male team, & their women. davidfranks.blogspot.com
Update: another solid 2nd Run has seen Ben qualify for tonight's mens halfpipe finals.
Great result for the Irishman, the first ever to qualify for a #WinterOlympics final 👏👏
🇮🇪
