There was a woman medalist from a refugee team carrying the olympicflag. Reminds me that I think winter olympics never had athletes competing as refugees... or?

I just checked, and that's right enough. They've only had Refugee Athletes at the Summer Olympics.

I thought there had been in the Winter Olympics too.

They renamed it Nancy Roman and then it briefly got cut from the budget. I’ll go check but…things are NOT good at NASA Goddard which manages it…

Nick Mullins has just listed a whole pile of people that will be torchbearers before they have even appeared.

Alberto Tomba was the only name amongst them that I recognised.

Ah, Sofia Goggia now.

I was watching her and the other Alpine Ski girls this afternoon after the skating finished! (And it took a lot longer to watch than I expected - they had a really long delay due to fog).
