    I was somewhat distracted by this.

    You've been thinking about it for far too schlong!

    I'm not worried by the opening ceremony, but I'm looking forward to seeing people finding new ways of chucking themselves off mountainsides (even if they are unfairly aided by their dicks*) - which probably means I'll end up watching the curling!

    *Bet they don't try that for the two-man luge!

    I suspect we'll see a lot of curling, since the UK tend to win at that. Ice hockey, skiiing, snowboarding, skating, less so.

    I didn't realise that this time round we get two-woman luge. I'll be honest, the luge is pretty odd already without two people on the teatray, but I guess it's an icy blow for equality.

    Abs yes, I fear you are right, @Firenze . I have nothing against curling, but I do like seeing the loony speedy stuff.

    I confess that I don't quite see where gender would make a difference in luge. Although, admittedly, I have not studied it. It would be interesting to have a two-man luge, two-woman luge and mixed-company luge competition on the same track and see if one has a discernible edge over the other two.
