A wrap for @SnowsportsIRE @Beijing2022 Winter Olympics after 50km Free delayed for an hour due to cold became 30km. When athletes get tape out you know it’s baltic cold. A solid 29th for @WestgardThomas to close out a successful games cementing his place as one of worlds elite 👏

Fueling up before my first Olympic 50k tomorrow! With below -17degrees and chilly wind it’s gonna be one to remember. A great opportunity for us athletes to show some Olympic spirit😇 Game on everybody👊🏻 #teamireland #Olympics #Beijing2022

Got access to the athlete lounge at the halfpipe qual today to cheer on my teammate Brendan Newby. You knew about their great attitude but to witness this and seeing them cheering everybody on wanting all to perform at their best was a fantastic experience. This is sport🙌🏻

And it’s 20th place for @bnewbs6 in todays @Beijing2022 Winter Olympic Freeski Halfpipe. A difficult first run grabbing serious air followed by a solid second run giving Bubba an Olympic top 20 👊

Did someone say ‘dinna time’. It’s been a long wait but tomorrow @bnewbs6 takes on @Beijing2022 halfpipe qualifying and we know he’s going to have some fun 👌
