Winter Olympics

Was a bit dicey there, only 3 coming out at first, still all are ok and GB1 still in the lead with the advantage of a damaged track now

So you would not be a tad whiney after that sort of disappointment, giving up years of your life for it all to go wrong.

she made mistakes and grizzled to the camera about the injustice... and didn't learn from the mistakes. a bad whiney loser.

You did not answer the question.

Yes but is it finished yet? You still haven't answered my question either!!

if you play a sport you have to know the rules. to whine when you break them shows how immature she is. it is also a very stupid question as i have no intention of being in that situation, however, should i be, having already been eliminated for rule breaking twice, i'd do my best not to get into a stupid situation where it could happen again - which she did not do.

I've never watched winter paralympics so quite looking forward to it... in 2012 I thought the paralympics in London were much more exciting than the stuff on before it! Plus, it had Oscar... Don't even care if he's a murderer, he's hawt.

I remember reading this somewhere at the time of all the hoohah about the shooting, it might be a little contrived but it did make me laugh.

Roses are red
Violets are glorious
Don't ever surprise
Oscar Pistorius

I haven't seen the TV schedule for the Paralympics but I will bet the coverage isn't anywhere near what the Olympics got, and that was nothing to shout about.

Channel 4 have got it: http://www.channel4.com/info/press/...-150-hours-of-coverage-from-sochi-paralympics

I thought the Beeb did a great job with their coverage - most I've seen and they had pretty much everything available either on the red button or online.

They did if you liked anything on ice, their much trumpeted "up to 6 different channels available showing different sports" was a huge fib. Their "expert" commentators for the most part ["slopeside excused, but then I had no idea what they were on about anyway] knew very little about the events they were covering, even pronouncing names wrongly. Others were available but the BBC chose to pay big money to people like Jonathon Edwards.
Wonder why the BBC don't cover the Paralympics? Always keen to jump in and highlight any noteworthy performances on the news of Para-Olympians, whiff of hypocracy I feel..

If I recall correctly, both the BBC and Channel 4 bid for the Paralympics coverage & C4 got it. I wasn't all that impressed with C4's coverage in 2012.

Outbid by Channel 4 I guess. They're doing Rio 2016 as well.
