To be honest - I watched very little of the winter olympics.

The few bits I did watch in highlight reels and news wrap-ups just confused me.

I mean, really - wtf is "Nordic Combined" - the two parts don't even connect - they're not a sport - they're two totally separate events stuck together. These Nordic countries must be really, really dull places if this event is the high point on the calendars.

And snow/ski-cross?! Please, they're just making random shit up and calling it "sport".

Where's the sport factor in these downhill snow/ice events - mostly it's gravity doing the work. Contestants just strap in and hold on.

Don't get me started on ice dancing. It's dancing ffs! The clue is in the title - it's not a sport - it's dancing. Where's the ice hip-hop section? I look forward to "Skate Up to the Ice 2" coming next summer.

Enough ranting.

Congrats to the Canadians. And everyone who didn't rip their lycra tights.
