Ice race (sprint)  Start of the winter league 

 

There is a touching 'meet and greet' before the opening ceremony too

 

 

 

[Lady Elanore]

I've been away for a couple of weeks so here is a quick catch up

My guys are not having a good season....will it change?

 

Can't wait for the bobsled event next week!! 

[Liger1956]

I did enjoy the speed skating competition and the course appeared well engineered. Bobsled will be interesting to see.

 

Sorry that you team is not doing well. Perhaps your support has jinxed them 

[Lady Elanore]

BOBSLEIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best even ever 

 

They show the first experimental runs and there is a horrific accident that result in an overturned bobsled and one of the marbles being injured and sent to the medical facility. They also show a marble eye view as they put a tv crew in a bob (I assume that's how they did it) and record the descent 

 

No spoilers but one of my fav teams did a bit better this time  Ice hockey final next week, should be epic

 

 

 

 

[Liger1956]

That was enthralling, and different. It could close at the top of the league after the final race.

[Lady Elanore]

I think the O'rangers have left it too late this year, but it was great to hear their fans screaming "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH" throughout the run 

 

I hope the injured marble is ok? They should do a follow up and let us know 

[Liger1956]

It's not over until the end of the final round. You should always live in hope for your team!

 

If a marble gets chipped in an accident do they inject it with resin like with windscreens?

[Lady Elanore]

It's here, the final even of the Marble League. No spoilers, but one of my fav teams does quite well and gets an impressive overall standing position at the end. Very moving closing ceremony as ever

 

 

[Liger1956]

I did not find that round as enjoyable as some if the others. It may have been because it was difficult to see what was going on and where the pucks were.

 

We can now await the beginning of the Marbula 1 series 

[Lady Elanore]

Marbula 1 Season 2 has kicked off again. Qualies first...

 

 

 

 

On a secondary point, what happened to the 24 minutes of LeMarble???

[Lady Elanore]

I should have said nsfw as there are naked marbles on the beach!!

[Liger1956]

Why does the commentator pronounce "Rima"as "Reemer"?

 

Also there is a distinct lack of social distancing in the stands. Do all the spectator marbles get wiped down with a sanitiser upon entry?

[Lady Elanore]

I wouldn't even know where you would vaccinate a marble. 

 

At least my 2 fav teams scraped in by the skin of their teeth.  

[Liger1956]

Marbles not complying with the Blue flag.

 

[Lady Elanore]

ooh I just got in from work. Will get a cuppa and enjoy this one 

[Lady Elanore]

I love this longer track. Dirty air from Razzy definitely caused problems for the leaders as did his refusal to obey the blue flags. But on a positive note, great finish for Snowstorm having started on the back row even if Orangin' did do quite so well. 

 

Nice to see the Safety marble perform its duty so well and of course...safely  

[Liger1956]

A close race with many changes of lead.

 

[Lady Elanore]

Nice race. I love the kids playing on the beach at the start. Looks like a great family circuit 

[Lady Elanore]

Palette Park quallys

 

they have a nice bit of mad artwork in the form of a tower, a bit like that thing that didn't quite work at the Olympic Park (except the Marbula works of course  ) 

 

Snowstorms loss of form is very worrying :( 

 

 

 

 

[Liger1956]

We have one of those coloured towers as part of a marble run toy.

[Lady Elanore]

Wow your house must be massive, or rather your garden must be enormous to house such a large building  

 

I think it's just us keeping the flame alive these days

It must be a local thing as we do not live many miles apart.

 

The children on the box lid must be huge!

[Lady Elanore]

My giddy aunt!!! The 'little' one looks hungry to me. Hope the marbles were safe?
