Ginger Sooty, GLOVE PUPPET OF DREAMS provides a daily round-up of events at the Sochi 2014 Olympics that are, quite simply Sochi 2014.
PHEW! What a day!
Somebody from somewhere slid down a hill quicker than somebody else from somewhere else to claim gold in the sliding down the hill quickly competition. Made for great TV.
Britain got a medal! Well done Jenny Jones for sliding down the bannister so well!
Also, we saw a German Ski Jumper with the surname Wank! Schoolboy titters all round. Especially as a pulled off a big one! But he didn’t come first. Luckily.
A couple of sports for you to look out for today.
1. Ice Donkey Dangling – How long can you dangle from a donkey naked in temperatures below 35 degrees celsius? When I tell you the Mohammed Algibber from Egypt can dangle for twenty-three days without food, water or “natural break” you will realise this sport combines, endurance, pointlessness and chafing in equal measure. His nipples can score glass afterwards.
Team GB’s hopes rest with titchy Welshman Dai Do-Rail.
2.Bladder Blast! – Drink heartily, step out into the snow and write your name in a drift. Current World Champion is Aleksander Kulimentshiovski. With all those letters…… The sport is not yet open to women due to rows about cone technology.
Enjoy The Games!

What about the kissing sticks contest? They strap sticks to their feet, jump off a ramp thing, and then try and kiss the sticks while they are still in the air.
Wait and see…..
You clearly haven’t haven’t seen the funniest name from the Olympics yet although it surely must have been a photoshop to take the michael out of Mr. Wank. Honestly it had every bad word in one surname. Funny! I came across the name wissenschaftlikker once hee hee.
Dare i ask what that means lass?
I’ve no idea the translation just funny to say
LOL. Thanks to your objective coverage, I am enjoying these, er…sports.
Skis on bannisters? What on earth is that all about!
Looking forward to Sooty’s coverage being interspersed with Bob On The Pot’s human interest…pieces.
My crack team is gearing up (not in the Duggy way i hasten to add)
I do wish that watching the Olympics was as much fun as reading your posts on them. It would hurt if they were the same length either.
Thanks Michelle – how are Canada doing? GB has a medal and the country has gone potty!
Rumour has it we are at number 1 right now with the most medals and the most golds. That can change quickly.
I’m positive that, with the inclusion of “Bladder Blast” in the Sochi Olympics, this sport will finally get the recognition it deserves.
Let us hope so!
Just to be fair, it must be stated (and can be confirmed by any who know me) that no one has ever slid downhill faster than I have.
I think I might do worse in these events than in the real ones. I suck.
Bladder Blast not for you then (a lot of i’s to dot and t’s to cross come to think of it)
Spelling was never my strong suite.
if these were real events I might actually watch it!
If only….
WANK? Poor guy. Only thing worse would be Putin… ha ha, I saw your reply to my comment. Sorry I pulled your leg. You obviously have a different view of handsome than I, and that’s cool! (wink)
THis is the funniest coverage of the Olympics (or, as daughter Riley calls the skinny girls ice skating, the Bulimpics) I’ve seen. Great stuff! Amy
Bulimpics! Brilliant!
