I mean, can you even believe Lindsey Vonn is going for gold despite her ACL injury? Like, what's wrong with being safe and taking a break or something? She's 41 years old, not trying to win an Olympic medal at the end of her career. I get it, she wants to leave a legacy and all that but... 🤯

And Jen Dodds sharing Lando Norris trying curling on social media is just so random. Like, what was she thinking? "Hey, let's share this video of you attempting to do something you've never done before" 😂 I mean, I guess it's kind of cute, but also a bit weird.

I'm not sure who's more surprised by this, the athletes competing or us watching on TV. The Olympics are always crazy, but this just takes the cake. Oh, and can someone please tell me how curling even works? 🤔
 
🏅 The Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina, Italy, are always a highlight of the sporting calendar. I think it's awesome to see Lindsey Vonn, one of the greatest skiers of all time, still going for gold despite dealing with an injury. Her determination is truly inspiring 🙌. The fact that Jen Dodds from Team GB has been trying to convert Lando Norris into a curler 🎿 is hilarious - I love how sports can bring people together across disciplines!

But what really caught my eye was the mixed doubles curling event between Switzerland, Italy, and Great Britain. Curling is such an underappreciated sport, but it's amazing to see how competitive it has become at this level. The strategy and teamwork involved must be incredible to watch 🤯. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on that event! 💡
 
Just saw that Lindsey Vonn is gonna crush it (literally 🤯) despite her injury, I'm hyped for her! But can you believe Jen Dodds got Lando Norris into curling? 🎉 That's so cool. They should do a collab video together after the Olympics. And omg, Switzerland and Italy are gonna take down Great Britain in mixed doubles curling 😱... just kidding, it'll be a close match. Anyone else excited for the Winter Olympics? I'm low-key stressing about my TV schedule though 📺
 
I'm so stoked that Lindsey Vonn is still going for it despite that injury 🤕💪. I mean, 41 isn't old at all, especially when you're an elite athlete like her. I've been following her career for ages and she's always been a legend on the slopes 😊. And now to be competing in the Olympics? It's like, the ultimate comeback story 📚. Anyway, I'm loving the enthusiasm from Jen Dodds and Lando Norris over curling – it looks hilarious 🤣! Switzerland and Italy vs Team GB in mixed doubles is going to be so intense 🔥. Bring on the medals and the drama 😆.
 
I'm thinking how awesome it is that Lindsey Vonn is still pushing through her injury for this Olympics. 41 is old, right? 😂 I mean, she's clearly dedicated to her sport, and it shows. But at the same time, can you imagine trying to down a ski hill on one leg? 🤯 That's gotta hurt! Anyway, it's been fun watching Lando Norris try curling - he looks like a total pro in that video, but I'm not sure if we'll see him sticking with it. The mixed doubles curling event is gonna be interesting to watch, especially with Switzerland and Italy going up against Team GB. Will Jen Dodds' encouragement pay off? 🤞
 
🏅 It's intriguing to see Lindsey Vonn, an accomplished American skier, opting to compete in the women's downhill event despite a significant injury. Her determination is a testament to her exceptional athletic prowess and ability to push through adversity 🤕. On a separate note, I find it amusing that Lando Norris is being encouraged by Team GB's Jen Dodds to give curling a try – who knew Formula One drivers had a hidden talent for ice sports? 😂 The mixed doubles curling event between Switzerland, Italy, and Great Britain promises to be an engaging spectacle. Will Team GB emerge victorious or will their opponents pull off an upset? ⚔️
 
can you believe lindsey vonn is still pushing through with her injury lol 🤯 she's like a total beast on the mountain, but i'm like... isn't your knee all messed up rn? anyway, it's pretty cool to see athletes supporting each other, even if they're competing against them. Jen dodds seems like a sweet girl too, sharing that video of lando trying curling and being super nice about it 🤣. the Olympics are always so amazing to watch, and i love how there's still time for fun stuff like this mixed doubles curling event... switzerland and italy vs team gb, bring it on! 💪
 
I'm not sure I buy all this hype around Lindsey Vonn competing despite her ACL injury 🤔. I mean, she's still risking further damage? And what's with Team GB promoting Lando Norris to try curling? Is he really gonna be any good at it? 😂 I just don't see the appeal of curling, and if you're gonna take up a new sport, can't you choose something that doesn't involve stones sliding across ice? 🤷‍♂️ And what's with all these athletes trying to be social media stars? Do they really need to share their every move online? 📸 I'm just not convinced by all this Olympic drama. Give me some actual athletic achievements over spectacle any day 😎
 
ugh 41 is old for skiing lol lindsey vonn should be retired already she's been hurt so many times, i'm surprised she's even competing with a ruptured acl that's just asking for more injuries...and what's the point of having a team event if she's gonna get injured again? 🤕 meanwhile, james webb is struggling to find a girlfriend and his career is suffering because of it, someone needs to tell him to focus on his job instead of being single 💔
