Winter Olympics - Sochi

Pre-tournament favourites Russia were knocked out of the ice hockey at the quarter final stage today.  Finland beat them 3-1.

That was the one Putin came out and said he wanted more than any other! Those lads may defect! 

Snowboarders are hardy surely AZ, so are surfers though!

Putin will have to content himself with the mens ice dance then..

I thought you would only watch RTE given your various political positions.

And why shouldnt it be, 2 realistic chances of gold, they havent much to shout about so when they do why dont they make a deal about it. Katie Taylor was hardly off RTE for 2 months in 2012. I think that although curling has had a good section of the live slots, they have a good effort at bringing the other sports to the public.

The curling is good but then I don't mind a bit of lawn bowls.

I know that's why they are showing it so much but it doesn't diminish my own desire to not have to see more f***ing curling every time I turn to bbc.
