1. They Might Play This Video Again
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogpwrc6oCKM When Russia's Evgeni Plushenko pulled out of the men's short programme figure skating and announced his retirement, the British commentators and presenters were genuinely dismayed, but it wasn't until this video emerged that we knew why. Seriously, if you haven't seen it, this video of a gala performance by one of skating's most famous faces encapsulates the truly bonkers appeal of winter sports. If the BBC plays this more often, Sochi 2014 might even surpass London 2012.
