We caught a few snippets of the winter Olympics last night on TV. They are so much more interesting than the summer Olympics and the athletes all look healthier and happier. Must be all that snow and fresh air.
Curling is my favourite (bear in mind I don't do sports). It's such fun to watch and frankly the ladies, in particular, are so skilled. The Chinese and Swedish teams were doing well when last I checked. Was I wrong or is one of the U.K. team called Andy Capp?
Downhill racing, ski jump, snowboarding - wowee. they are all so brave and crazy and happy and having fun even through the pain. There is a discipline called skeleton - only for the nutsy ones. A skeleton of a frame which is pushed on the slope and then the rider dives on head first and charges down hill. Crazy but fun to watch.
It's very clever of the organisers to arrange for good weather and crowd participation seems to be full on.
We haven't seen any ice skating as yet but perhaps we'll find some tonight. I see the Brits are pinning their hopes on a brother and sister team so I shall watch out for them.
So, from 30 degrees c. in Cape Town, have a great weekend.
Oh sweet child of mine...
