Para Snowboarding practice session called to a halt because a number of athletes have fallen at a particularly difficult section of the course.
At least one athlete taken away on a stretcher.
Several athletes told me it’s too dangerous.
Changes apparently being made by the organisers.
Alpine chalet on right with snow-topped mountains and bright blue sky in the background.
Cortina is a bit nice…
Sounds incredible
Genius from the BBC schedulers to put the Radio 2 Piano Room performances up against the Brit Awards, allowing us 40-somethings to believe we do actually still recognise some pop stars.
A special mention for Zhao Xintong’s wristwatch.
I’m quite keen on the Ski Mo.
Fair play for getting a sport into the Olympics that involves climbing some stairs.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social Bedford CC dealing with the bigots like an absolute boss.
They do Tony’s chocolate in ball-form?!
Thanks a lot

Facebook reminds me that on this day in 2017 a woman turned to me in the veg section of Sainsbury's and said "hopefully now we've left the EU we can have loose carrots that aren't wet"
See you there!
The 2016 trend on Instagram, with people seemingly capable of instantly finding 16 photos of themselves from a decade ago, is highlighting that everyone else must have a better photo-filing system than me.
