Yeah; they even managed to make curling look exciting. Quite an achievement.

I even allowed myself to be patriotic and waved my union jack flag for the British couples. The volume when the Canadians Virtue and Moir overtook Davis and White was phenomenal - I felt a surge of Canadian pride for the first time :)

Once-in-a-lifetime experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it :wub:

BBC has consistently interviewed the winners of events at past games no matter where from in addition to Brits and has also had foreign ex athletes as members of their commentary/analysis teams.

Obviously coverage is rightly geared to the home viewing audience but I've not seen it quite like it's been here so far. Maybe I've missed the interviews with all the winners :unsure:

Perhaps now that Canada has the elusive first gold medal on home soil (:blink:) coverage may be a little more inclusive.

Absolutely loved the Ski Cross. Real exciting stuff! Sitting down to watch the Canada v USA hockey game, albeit I already know the score:frown:

Pity the Canadian in the final fell over (again). Do you think they're all smoking too much BC bud?

I thought it was great to watch.
Could not believe some of it.

Am sure the Canadian / ex-American will be tested ;) to prove a point - heard (in commentary) he fell in a ravine once, after a little too much juice but on the straight now.

Made a big deal of his 'Bad boy made good' before the finals which exasperated me. However, did feel for him when he fell as he was going for silver rather than settling for bronze. True sportsmanship.
