Pidcock becoming Cyclocross World Champ was missing from the news too, hitting various types of balls with bats and kicking balls was clearly more important news.
The BBC did report it on their sports web page.

He's rampant right now. If you can win cyclocross, the other 2 are easy surely?
Somehow I don’t think so, nobody has won the Worlds cyclo cross and either of the others ever.
Including MvP or Wout who more likely to have won the cross worlds if they had turned up.

Call me a cynic. (tempted to just stop there...) but I reckon BBC make sure they throw stuff up on the website to ensure balance....(even when main radio, tv etc. headlines skip it).

Ok, I'm deffo a cynic but there may a shred of truth in that?

Local lads Johnny Smegma and Jizz Head had a big win in the backwards three-legged egg and spoon race recently. Massive upset, beating the reigning champs from Ulaanbaatar by half a ringpiece. Wasn't even mentioned on 5 Live, the cunts.

I jest, just that cyclocross seems like such an unenjoyable event, that the others must be fun by comparison. Anyway, straying from the topic.

Women's slopestyle was brilliant finale yesterday with a great finale, worth checking out if you missed it.

Be keen to hear about any other good watches.

Slopestyle snowboard? Yes, amazing final. Women's mogul final was similar, everyone upping their game. Skier cross and boarder cross are always good value.

Men's snowboard slopestyle is a different level to the womens' though. A couple of "what???" moments.

Not the most exciting sport in the world, but pretty nice to see Eve Muirhead and her team finally win the gold in the curling!

And the Men's team get silver.

Anyone tried curling, we did it a few years ago as a social thing at work. Great fun, but flipping hard / impossible to get the length right, difference between stopping a metre short and going right out the other side feels like nothing.

I grew up in Perth, so we had the choice to do it one winter in PE at school, and my mum's a very keen curler so I had no choice...

After some earlier discussion about Dave Ryding he has now got another world cup second place at Garmisch and sits 4th in the overall rankings. Another brilliant result that will pass us by as it wasn't at the Olympics.

Did note it. Brilliant he performed well again, shame he didn't do as well as hoped in China.

Also the Winter Paralympics starts today, some amazing athletes.
