Looking forward to this.

The hockey should be interesting with no NHL players.

Excited for these even though everything happens while I'm asleep and in the very early mornings (when I go to the gym or do homework). It's frigid in Pyeongchang giving us a proper Winter Olympics again after the past few have been in balmy climates.

They said on Sky Sports last night that it's going to be cold at the Winter Olympics. Who would've thought it?

I like to consider myself a fairly informed person, but I had no idea Kosovo had an Olympic team.
