Would anyone else like to do a Winter Games thread? I don't want to seem like I'm hogging the topic.

Training, for the GB Team, can sometimes look a bit "Cool Runnings" because it doesn't involve much snow ...

But anyway, Team GB will be there, being heroic in the Bobsleigh.

Come on, Team GB !!!

Today's "One For The Boys" is Kiira Korpi, from Finland, who competes in the Figure Skating.

As one Scottish caller to Talk Sport might have said ... She's no' finnish, she's only twenty five ... ha ha ha ha ha

One of my pals said ... I'd give my left nipple for one night with her. Maybe a bit further than I'd go, LOL, but she is pretty.

So that's today's One For The Boys.

Don't say I never give you anything, guys.

[berniecuddles]

do you think any of our GB men will win a medal JJ??

[DaisyNonna]

Doing a grand job JJ. Keep going!

[berniecuddles]

by the way your Winter Games Day log is great keep it going JJ xxx

[joggerjayne]

Oh, guys , thank you.

I think we actually have a good chance of a few medals. And it's always worth bearing in mind that most winter sports involve an element of danger, and all of them are on slippery surfaces. Competitors can come a cropper. I'd happily gamble a few pounds on people like James Woods in the Slopestyle.

[joggerjayne]

I'm going to the pub for a bit.

i would take you up on your offer to start a similar thread - but i might find that i am on a very slippery slope (arf - arf - arf)
