krow Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 JUST REALIZING ice is frozen water. and where are we? the winter olympics - where they use ICE for events. 🤯 coincidence? Quote
Olympian2004 Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 Compared to many of you have to endure, tonight's German commentator is quite silent, which is a bliss - because during the opening ceremony, the two German commentators didn't ever really stop talking and kept blurting out the surprises before they happened.

I complained about not learning anything particularly new when watching the Opening Ceremony. I'm glad they've changed tack for the Closing. In conclusion, Olympic ceremonies are a land of contrasts... Quote

sebastien1214 Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 I'm just realizing that I'm a good minute and a half, maybe two minutes behind you. Damn. Quote

I'm now wishing we had Hazel Brugger on commentary Which raises the question, why are the Olympics taken so much more seriously than Eurovision? Quote

yoshi Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 3 minutes ago, StefanMUC said: The winters here are just too unreliable, our ski resorts are not very high and on the northern side of the Alps which anyway get less snow these days, so it‘s getting more unrealistic further down the road. 2018/22 would have been ideal (or even this year, lots of snow last week), but it‘s not happening anymore. Summer has much more competition and quite frankly if this 2036-44 attempt falls through, that‘ll likely be it in my lifetime, but it‘s the only option Germany has. 2040 rather than 2036 I guess, but next European host really should be our turn finally. Yeah I did wonder if it just wasn't possible anymore - even Bavaria is quite a way north of the main snow band of the Alps, so obviously a lot of the snow is dumped long before it hits your side. There's a reason the last two central Euro hosts have been Italy & Italy. Although if 36 is now dead in the water, that puts us both in the bizarre position of having to support Qatar... Quote
