20 Answers
Although this is officially Day -2, remember that Billy Morgan's snowboarding event is tomorrow, a day ahead of the Opening Ceremony.
Tomorrow, all eyes will be on Billy Morgan.
So, today ... on the last thread before the events begin, who can I post about?
Okay, there can only be one person ... the one and only ... our greatest ever ski girl ...
CHEMMY ALCOTT !!!

Chemmy ... She's broken her neck, and has two vertebrae fused together. She's had her leg smashed in two places, and had three broken legs altogether. And she's still going back for more. She's gritty, and determined. She's the highest World ranked female skier we've ever had. She's the Olympian we want as a pal.
You'd go skiing with her ...

The Winter Games has already highlighted the value of participating in sports.
There's a guy called Arkady Rotenberg. He is Vladimir Putin's Judo partner.
During the building of the Olympic sites, $7.4billion worth of contracts were awarded to companies connected with Rotenberg.
So it's definitely worth being involved in sports.

They've got a load of last year's snow in a big fridge, or something. No, really.
Sochi is on the edge of the Black Sea, and it's actually quite mild. Most of Russia is buried under snow all winter. But in Sochi, the average February temperature is warmer than London.
Hey, don't look at me. I said these Games should've been awarded to Salzburg.
Anyway, Sochi is one of the few places in Russia where there is sometimes no snow. So, last year, when there was quite a lot of snow ... they gathered it up and stored it.
I know, I know ... if you freeze snow, it just turns icy. So I don't know where they've stored it.
They just have, okay?

Look out for Belle Brockhoff ...
http://
She's Australian. She's a Snowboarder. She's a lesbian.
She's been quite active in the "anti discrimination" campaign. She says she's not going to do anything too dramatic in Sochi, because any controversy might jeopardise her Olympic place.
However, if you see her raising six fingers, it is a reference to Principle 6 of the International Olympic Committee Charter, which says that discrimination is not compatible with the Olympic movement.
Go, Belle!

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you ...
Prince Hubertus Von Hohenlohe.
http://
He is a prince. Yes, a real one. He's German. And he skis for Mexico. Half Mexican grandmother, and lived in Mexico for enough years to qualify as a Mexican citizen, or something of the sort.
Anyway, he will be skiing in that outfit ... yes, the mariachi ski suit.
He's 55, and this will be his fifth Winter Olympics!
It's like something out of an old movie. All very jolly.
