Sochi. The only place in Russia where 2 men in rubber can lie on top of each other whilst going down at speed. I also, think I would change my name if I was the ski jumper - Andreas W*nk. Lennie he is actually known as Andy ....

Bad news for those forms. Best not get 'Surname' and 'Key Skills' or 'Hobbies' mixed up.

For those winter Olympic fans, at 5pm today the men's ice hockey gets going, Sweden (my pick for Gold) play the Czech's and Latvia play Switzerland, if anyone watches them games look out for Alex Edler and Daniel Sedin from Sweden and Yannick Weber from Switzerland are all Canucks players and despite some intermittent form recent Daniel Sedin is one of the best players to ever play in the NHL! Two excellent games

Well done to Canada women's team. I'm not really into the winter Olympics but I just caught the end of it while looking for something to watch.

The GB ladies curling team is certainly more pleasant on the eye than previous times.

Good to see Jaromir Jagr playing at another Olympics.

Jaromir Jagr is a class act, still banging in goals in the NHL, played well for the Czech's despite the overall dominance by Sweden, glad to see the Canuck, Daniel Sedin get an assist!

and irony of Jagr wearing his no 68 jersey in the former Soviet Union!!
Canada are favourites for gold I think, but always seem to struggle to play on the bigger international size rinks. Sweden will be in the medals and the dark horses are Slovakia led by Zdeno Chara. Finland have arguably the best goal tenders in the tournament so they'll be up their too I reckon.

Zdeno Chara is a kn*b!
Canada as reigning gold medalists will be confident of retaining the title, albeit last time was in Canada!
I can't see America doing anything!
You seem quite knowledgeable matey, a hockey fan perhaps?

Yes I am BigFudge. Follow Philly Flyers from a distance since playing NHL '93 on the mega drive. I'm a nominal Sheffield Steelers fan having seen them play a few times. Don't really follow the British game though.

We won a gold medal today in the Women's Skeleton!
Canada currently 6-0 up after 2 periods against Austria, Roberto Luongo of Canucks fame in net for Canada!
