Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics - Official Chat Thread
So I haven’t been keeping up with all this hoo haa, is anyone actually going over there still?
Anyone going to answer?
I am on the waitlist.
But even if they call me up unless they are paying the airfares I don’t think I will be going!
So thats a no 
Hey they could be desperate!
People could pull out at the last minute.
Our government have advised spectators not to go after the recent terrorist attacks.
Remember the meteorite that crashed into Russia last year?
Well The Project have been doing a daily countdown to the games with fun facts to go along with it and they just said that any athlete that wins a medal on 15th Feb will get extra special medals with a piece of the meteorite!
How cool is that!
And if ya don’t win any medals, they’re gonna stuff a chunk of Chernobyl in ya check in luggage!!!!!

BBC Sochi ad.
I am the dreadful menace.
The one whose will is done.
The haunting chill upon your neck.
I am the conundrum.
I will summon armies.
Of wind and rain and snow.
I made the black cloud overhead.
The ice, like glass below.
Not you, nor any other.
Can fathom what is nigh.
I will tell you when to jump.
And I’ll dictate how high.
The ones that came before you.
Stood strong and tall and brave.
But I stole their dreams away.
Those dreams could not be saved.
But now you stand before me.
Devoid of all dismay.
Could it be? Just maybe.
I’ll let you have your day.
I hope we get some decent coverage! Last winter Olympics it was shit house didn’t even get to watch one Ice Hockey game! Just because we are not in it doesn’t mean we don’t want to watch it. May have to get Foxtel just for the Olympics I want me some Hockey games!

News.com headline story about Chumpy
They don’t get it. He’s an athlete in great form, he knows how to train, he’s a snowboarder. 
Ha!
And interestingly those athletes in the northern hem are stressing about not getting enough time on snow due to lack thereof!
Chumpy is doing it right!
Chumpy is doing it right!
