Fleur No, but then I never watch TV. I haven't specifically watched any Olympics since Jane Torvill and Christopher Dean won gold with their ground-breaking performance in 1984! I would watch it if I was in the room when someone else put it on, but unless I visit...

Fleur Yes, There has been a mixed reaction to the Norwegian. Was he just overcome with emotion that his love wasn't watching him compete? Or was the worldwide media coverage just emotional blackmail? The Ukrainian athlete was disqualified for wearing the helmet...

Fleur I started the 5:2 system about 5 years ago and have pretty much stuck with it. I didn't aim to lose weight but to improve my chances of living healthier for longer. Only time will tell whether it works!
