I was in Lillehammer five years ago just for one night and did not thought much of the place. Maybe I should have explored more. That looks like fun
We had a lot of fun with katie couric decritpino of us as speedskaters which actually skate to get somewhere in the winter

@mailA... yup it does, it goes fast... my daughter is 8 (so wasn't officially qualfied to go, but we talked ourselve in), and the lack of weight made it a bit bumpy..

@rutsan the village self is not that exciting.. even though it is a major norwegian tourist attraction with the post museum and the olympics museum and a big open air museum with old norwegian building.. but the bobsled and also standing on the skijumping track was quite impressive..
From twitter:

You'd have thought Britain would be doing better at the #WinterOlympics.

What with all its recent experience in going downhill fast.

(Oh Yeah. #Satire, people. Feel its bite).
Sounds like we’re going to cheat our way to some potential golds in the skeleton.

Fancy skin suits FTW!

No body to rule against it, eh?
What a humerus response.
Duitsland isn't a real country. You've made this table up.
NEDERLAND must be forrin for ENGERLAND or something.
Teletext. How quaint.
As someone learning taekwon-do, this particular Winter Olympics has special significance in that - assuming it's not just a "long game" ploy by Kim Jong-Un - there's some real indications that North and South Korea may not always be mortal enemies.

It's quite interesting seeing how excited a lot of the people Jem and I are acquainted with about this. I doubt it'll come to much, but it'd be pretty cool if it did.

Yes teletekst is actually still sort of widely used here, via the iPhone app or the website that is... it's just very fast and still has for this sort of result the best editorial people


And 'duitsland' (germany) has passed us again.. sort of inevitable since they compete in many more sports...
Wait, Teletext (I prefer your name - the word 'teletekst' looks a bit cooler) through a smartphone app... a collision of worlds, old, modern :blown:
So you're telling me the able Dutch people who somehow claimed a big chunk of the ocean to plant tulips, still use teletext?

:blown:
Yup, i think it was one of the first apps i installed on my phone;) just for reliable data, like football scores, obscure sports (like the live scores of the dutch baseball league) there is not a faster alternative, as long as they keep funding the people entering the data...

So... it's an internet service? Not actual Teletext? Seems unusually restricted for no good reason
There is still official teletekst with all this... it is just published as well online/in the app..

It looks deliciously retro. That's a plus.
On the ‘what is a sports discussion’. Mr T likes curling. That makes it a sport imo
