Bottom line.....athletes have worked really hard to get to this stage so I will be supporting them and not Russia and what it stands for politically.
Will be cheering all the nations as i just cant get my head around the absolute level of skill applied to many of the disciplines.....totally impressive and i cannot even ski haha ! A special place in my heart of course will be TEAM GB my home country and host of past summer Olympics which were fabulous.
Oh and did I mention that my brother is in Sochi right now competing in his first Olympics ? TOTALLY PROUD SISTER Watch out for the calorie burn from screeching during his first race next weekend)))

Super pumped for the summer games in a couple of years!
I have never cried watching a sad movie/telly series but I full on bawl like a baby whenever I watch any major sporting competitions. The camaraderie among athletes and patriotism just really tugs at my heartstrings especially when the national anthem of the winner's country is being played and the flag rises. It doesn't matter who wins, I get a bit teary regardless :blushing: Maybe it's just me but I find it incredibly amazing at how sports can unite the entire world, largely speaking.
On a less sappy note, my favourite sports to watch are:
- swimming
- diving
- track cycling0 -
Not excited, but have watched a few bits concerning UK competitors.
Far more excited by the anticipation of the World Cup. Even if England don't do too well I'll be proud that some players from my team will be there for the first time in about 30 years!0 -
