Tell us your all-time favourite moments from the Winter Olympics

Winter Olympic Memories that Last a Lifetime

As the world's top athletes converge on the ice, snow, and mountain stages, we want to hear about the moments that have left an indelible mark on your heart. The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat, or perhaps a poignant display of human spirit – these are the Winter Olympics' most enduring legacies.

For many, it's the spectacular displays of skill and athleticism that leave them breathless. A perfectly executed triple axel, a lightning-fast downhill ski run, or an awe-inspiring freestyle skiing performance can evoke strong emotions and create lifelong memories.

Others may cherish the story behind an athlete's triumph, a testament to perseverance and dedication in the face of adversity. The underdog who overcomes incredible odds, the trailblazer breaking barriers for their sport, or the unsung hero whose quiet achievements inspire awe – these are the moments that remind us why we love winter sports.

Then there's the sheer drama of competition itself, with its ebb and flow of triumph and heartbreak. A sudden-death shoot-out in curling, a last-lap sprint to the finish line in speed skating, or a nail-biting penalty shootout in hockey – these are the moments that put the spotlight firmly on human performance.

We want to hear about your all-time favourite Winter Olympics moment – the one that has stayed with you long after the games have ended. What sparked your interest? Who inspired you? And why does this memory hold such significance in your life? Share with us, and we'll relive it together.
 
OH MY GOSH, I'M STILL GETTING CHILLS THINKING ABOUT THE 2018 WINTER OLYMPICS!!! 🏅🎿💨 MARIA HENSEL AND MIRANDA OTTEN BRENNER'S ALPINE SKIING DUO EVENT WAS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A DREAM! THEY SKIED TOGETHER LIKE ONE BEING, THEIR TIMINGS SO CLOSE IT WAS LIKE WATCHING A WELL-OILED MACHINE. AND WHEN THEY TOOK THE GOLD, I WAS HOOKED FOR LIFE!!! 😍👏
 
🏅 I think what's really special about these Winter Olympics memories is how they're not just about winning or losing, but about the people behind those moments. You know, there's this one skier who came from nothing to compete in the Olympics, and she ended up finishing like 50th place overall... but it was still an incredible experience for her because she proved to herself that she could do it! 🌟 And then you got other athletes who are just happy to be part of the games, even if they're not competing at the highest level – those moments are so inspiring too. It's all about perspective and what we get out of these experiences, right? 🤔
 
I still remember watching Shaun White's insane halfpipe run at the 2010 Olympics 🤯, I was literally on the edge of my seat! The way he landed that 900-degree spin and just carried on, like it was nothing, left me speechless 😲. And for him, it wasn't even about winning (he did), but more about pushing himself to be the best version of himself 🏋️‍♂️. It's moments like those which make you appreciate the human side of sports, and how athletes can inspire us to chase our own dreams 💪.
 
I'm still getting goosebumps thinking about that epic finish between Lindsey Vonn and Maria Höfl-Riesch back in 2010 🤩. The way they went head-to-head on the slopes, the tension was palpable! And then Vonn took the gold, it was like the whole world held its breath. For me, it's moments like those that remind me why I love watching winter sports – it's not just about winning or losing, it's about the journey and the athletes themselves. There's something so inspiring about seeing people push themselves to be better, even when the odds are against them 🏔️. What about you, do you have a Winter Olympics memory that still gets your heart racing?
 
I'm still on a high from watching that incredible snowboard halfpipe final 10 yrs ago 🤩. Shaun White's triple cork 1440 was insane! 😲 I remember feeling like I was right there in the crowd, my heart racing with every trick he landed. It wasn't just his skills though - it was the mental toughness and focus he showed under pressure that really got me pumped up. My kids are into snowboarding now too 🏂, and it's awesome to see them develop their own passion for the sport. Does anyone else have a favorite Olympic memory that still gets them stoked? 😃
 
I'm still getting goosebumps thinking about Nadia Comăneci's historic 10 from back in '76 🤩. I mean, the kid was only 14 and just stepped onto that ice for her first Olympics... can you even imagine being that nervous and yet producing a perfect performance? It's like she made it up as she went along, but at the same time, it felt so natural. I remember watching it on TV with my family and we were all screaming together - my mom was crying tears of joy, my dad was cheering like a madman... it was this electric moment that just captivated everyone in the room. And you know what's crazy? It wasn't even the first perfect score she got – she had a 9 in gymnastics too! But that 10 will always be etched in history as one of the greatest moments of all time 💫
 
I'm still on a high from watching Erin Jackson's historic speed skating win 4 years ago 🏅🎿 She's been breaking records and inspiring the next gen of American speed skaters since then. I love how she's still so down-to-earth despite all her success, always giving credit to her team and coaches. It's not just about the medals or the fame, it's about the passion and dedication that drives athletes like her to push themselves to new heights 🏃‍♀️💪
 
i had the craziest experience watching a freestyle skier fall like 3 times during a single run lol but then she got back up and nailed the next one 🤯 what was so inspiring about that moment is how she didn't let her mistakes get her down, she just kept pushing forward 💪
 
omg i'm literally getting chills just thinking about my fave wintery olympic moments 😍 they say it's the moments that dont happen that make the greatest memories but honestly its the thrill of watching someone nail a tricky jump in figure skating or witnessing an underdog win a medal in curling 🎯 those are the ones that get me every time, and i'm not even kidding if i had to relive my entire olympic experience thru these moments id be like 100% hyped 😆
 
omg I still get chills thinking about the 2018 snowboard halfpipe final 🤯! Shaun White's 2nd Olympic gold was insane!!! 💥 he totally deserved it after all those years of hard work & dedication 🙌. what about u guys? do u have a fave Winter Olympics memory that still makes u go weak in the knees 😍?!
 
i think its amazing how winter olympics can bring people together! remember that one time when a certain skier had to overcome a serious injury just to compete again? it was so inspiring to watch her push through the pain & still manage to take home a medal 🤩💨. for me, its not just about winning or losing, its about the journey & how we can learn from each other's struggles
 
Dude i had an epic time watching Nathan Chen's free skate at the last Olympics 🤩🎤 I mean the guy is literally on another level with those triple axels 😲 but what really gets me is how emotional he was after winning gold, like you can tell he's genuinely humbled and grateful 🙏. And let's be real, his music choice was fire 🔥👏, totally took it to a whole new level. I remember my sister crying tears of joy watching that live on the couch with me 😂🤣. It's these kinds of moments that make the Olympics so special, not just about winning but about the journey and the story behind it 🌟
 
I'm getting all teary-eyed just thinking about those epic moments on the ice 🤣😭. I mean, who can forget that incredible curling match between Canada and Sweden where every rock was more crucial than the last? It was like watching a rollercoaster of emotions - one minute they're up by 3 points, next thing you know it's anyone's game! 💥 And that moment when Kevin Martin's stone hit the button for the final shot... *sigh* still gives me goosebumps 😍. I've been following figure skating since I was a kid and watching Nathan Chen compete is like witnessing art in motion 🎨💪. His passion and skill are just so inspiring, it puts my own two left feet to shame 😂. Can't wait to see what these Winter Olympics have in store for us this year! 🏅
 
🏅 the thing is i think what really makes winter olympics so special is how they bring people together even if only for a brief moment in time 🌎 you know like when you're sitting there watching a hockey game and suddenly everyone around you is cheering along with you no matter where they're from 🤝 it's those moments of collective excitement that create this sense of global unity. plus i love how the olympics highlight these incredible stories of human perseverance & determination 💪 like who can forget the amazing story of adrianne mildon or mikaël kingsbury? they're not just athletes, they're role models 🙌
 
omg I'm still getting chills thinking about Nadia Comăneci's historic gold medal at 14 yrs old 🤩🏅 those were the days when gymnastics was all about skill & artistry over just physical strength 😍 and that moment of pure perfection on floor exercise is forever etched in my mind 💪
 
I'm still not convinced about these Olympic nostalgia pieces 🤔... They just seem like a way to sell more merchandise and get people to tune in next time around. Don't get me wrong, I love the thrill of competition as much as the next person, but is that really what it's all about? The Olympics are already packed with over-the-top sponsorships and hype machines, do we really need more sentimental fluff on top of that? 🤑 And another thing, can we please focus on something a bit more tangible – like how these athletes are using their platforms to make a real difference in the world? That's what I'd love to see them talking about. 💡
 
🎅️ I'm telling you, their ice skating segment is always where it's at! I mean, those athletes can move like they're floating on air 🌟. And don't even get me started on the downhill skiing – it's like watching a real-life video game 🏂. But what really gets me is when they have those come-from-behind stories. Like, remember that one skier who was considered done for after a tough fall and still managed to podium? 💥 That kind of grit is what makes these games so inspiring. And can we talk about the drama of the curling? It's like watching a real-life game of chess 🤯. What's your fave Winter Olympics moment that just sticks with you?
 
Winter Olympics just a reminder how many ppl get injured competing 🤕. Like figure skater Nathan Chen broke 3 bones in 2018 & still competed 🤯. Other athletes suffer from chronic conditions like PTSD, depression & anxiety after competing 🚨. And then theres the environment - all that snowmelt causes floods & water shortages in some regions ⛈️. Not forgetting the costs of hosting these events - they can bankrupt small towns 🤑.
 
omg i still get chills thinking about maria hofland's 2014 halfpipe comp 😍 she was literally flying down the mountain and no one saw her coming! that moment when she landed a 1080 is etched in my memory forever 🤩 what i love most about it is how it humanized her, you know? before that, everyone thought of her as this fearless american skier but after that run, we all knew there was more to her than just her skill 🤝
