HelperElfMissy 42 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 So NOT a figure skating fan.... I mean if the alternative viewing was cricket, then I'm in! But I'd much prefer to watch boardercross, bobsleigh, moguls... Pretty much anything Winter Olympics except curling! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The only good thing about figure skating is of course watching to see how daring the cameramen are. (Ladies event only of course). Link to post Share on other sites
Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The crosses are fun to watch. Jumps, moguls, slalom and freestyle too. Enjoy figure skating if it is singles. Don't care for pairs for some reason. Link to post Share on other sites

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Curling is great!! Bocce ball on ice. Wots that? Like curling on the grass, with balls instead of pucks. And no brooms. Often played by retirees. Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 lawn bowling.... I can dig curling. It's a HELL OF A lot of fun to play. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Bowls? Curling was started in Scotland in the 14th or 15th century most probably to allow people to play bowls thru the winter Link to post Share on other sites

HighlyTrainedNovaTeacher 2 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I'm a very worried that I might well miss out on coverage of the figure skating, womens ski jump, curling and a few other events like ladies moguls. Anyone any idea where I might be able to watch them here in Japan? Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 You forgot the wink..... Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I think you're going to be out of luck, I'm afraid. It's jolly annoying isn't it. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I just downloaded the Sochi iPhone app and it has a pretty good calendar that lets you bookmark all of the events that you are interested in. You can also set it up so it sends you reminders of when the events start. I'm interested to see how it all works out. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 That will certainly help us here in Japan know when minor events such as those mentioned by HighlyTrained are happening. Link to post Share on other sites
