Disappointing Lego Flags

🏏 Congratulations to #India on winning the #T20WorldCup 🇮🇳

Right then, #India v #NewZealand in the #T20WorldCup final. Where’s your money? If it were decided by quality of flag when made out of Lego, I’d have the Kiwis winning 🇮🇳🇳🇿

It’s #England against #India in today’s second #T20WorldCup semi-final 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇳

Meanwhile, the #T20WorldCup rumbles on and has reached the semi-finals with #SouthAfrica taking on #NewZealand, both of whom have more interesting flags than tomorrow’s semi-finalists 🇿🇦🇳🇿

World War III or no World War III, back in #Italy the #WinterParalympics begin today 🇮🇹

The #WinterOlympics have been massive fun. French Alps 2030, anyone?

Milan, Predazzo, Tesero and Cortina - it’s been legendary. Grazie! 🇮🇹

Yes, my final session at #MilanoCortina2026 was the first two runs of the classic four-man bobsleigh, where the competing nations included, of course, #Jamaica (not pictured) 🇮🇹🇯🇲

In the morning I’ll be seeing the last act of my #WinterOlympics, another bobsleigh session, and I’ve come prepared… 🇯🇲

I then attended my sixth and final sport of #MilanoCortina2026, the first two runs of the two-woman bobsleigh, where the competing nations included #SouthKorea (not pictured) 🇰🇷

Today at the #WinterOlympics I went to one last curling session, the women’s semi-finals won by #Switzerland and #Sweden, while Flaggy took a day off 🇨🇭🇸🇪

Meanwhile, it was an epic snow day in Cortina and Flaggy loved every minute of it 🇮🇹

After the women’s curling yesterday, today’s #WinterOlympics action was two men’s sessions, culminating in the semi-finals won by the #UnitedKingdom and #Canada 🇮🇹🇬🇧🇨🇦

But it wouldn’t be #MilanoCortina2026 without Cortina, and (after many buses and trains) that’s where I am now. Among the curling results this evening, the #UnitedKingdom beat #Japan 9-3 🇮🇹🇬🇧🇯🇵

The men’s team sprint went to #Norway (led by Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo, winning his fifth gold 🥇of #MilanoCortina2026 - there he is the picture, bottom right), with the #USA in silver 🥈and #Italy in bronze 🥉🇳🇴🇺🇸🇮🇹

It’s been a legendary day at the #WinterOlympics. First up was cross-country skiing, where the women’s team sprint medals went to #Sweden (gold🥇), #Switzerland (silver🥈) and #Germany (bronze🥉) 🇮🇹🇸🇪🇨🇭🇩🇪

Gold🥇in the #MilanoCortina Gundersen large hill 10km went to Jens Oftebro of #Norway, silver 🥈to Johannes Lamparter of #Austria and bronze 🥉to Ilkka Herola of #Finland 🇳🇴🇦🇹🇫🇮

My new new favourite sport is the #WinterOlympics mayhem of Nordic combined: ski jumping in Predazzo in the morning, cross-country skiing in Tesero in the afternoon. Flaggy saw it all. 🇮🇹

The #WinterOlympics evening ended in DRAMA when heavy snow caused the cancellation of the last few jumps, with the gold 🥇 going to #Austria, silver 🥈 to #Poland and bronze 🥉 to #Norway 🇦🇹🇵🇱🇳🇴

This evening I took my little flag to Predazzo for the #MilanoCortina men’s super team large hill ski jumping, and I think I have a new favourite sport 🇮🇹

More #WinterOlympics men’s ice hockey tonight, with the #USA beating #Germany 🇺🇸🇩🇪

First up in Milan this afternoon was #Canada demolishing #France in the men’s ice hockey… oh, and look who’s here with me 🇮🇹🇨🇦🇫🇷

I’ve arrived at the #MilanoCortina #WinterOlympics!

Lucas Pinheiro Braathen! 🇧🇷
