2026 Winter Olympics

[MaryClare]

The hockey was unreal. We were supposed to be travelling to London today, but we bumped into some people we knew and it turns out that the ROC still got a ticket allocation from the IOC, but has practically no delegates here (only those who are here in some capacity with their sports federation). So we can get comp tickets for anything…I think we’ll stay a few extra days!

Did you see one of the hockey games live @MaryClare? What else are you going to see? Comp tickets to whatever sounds like an incredible opportunity.

I can't deal with the intensity of hockey right now, especially on the women's side. The US-Canada rivalry is pretty heated (sorry) in normal times, and obviously we are not in normal times. I don't think I can handle it emotionally.

I'll catch the figure skating instead!

We we at USA v Sweden. Going to different things this evening because he just doesn’t love me enough to sit through 4 hours of women’s figure skating!

This is the way. Enjoy!

I realised my then other-half was not The One in the summer of 2012, when he refused to spend an entire day watching handball with me. It was one of the few things I'd managed to get tickets for and I wasn't going to let a complete lack of interest in or knowledge of the sport get in the way.

He happily came to the archery with me but I think that was because he wanted to walk on the pitch at Lord's.

Yesterday’s hockey was too much for my nerves. Absolutely insane. Would have loved to see Chechia advance.

Now onto a day of women’s hockey!!

OMG @MaryClare if you can get tickets to any of the hockey medal games......GO! Curling is surprisingly fun, too.

I just realized this morning that because both Slovakia and Canada made hockey semis, at least one Washington Capital will come back to DC with an Olympic medal.
