The commentators were blaming the equipment. One of the girls had a really quick start in one of her runs, but even though she had a clean run she had lost loads of time even by halfway down.

You’d probably have taken 2-1 from three games in Italy, USA and Norway who we’d say (along with Switzerland) are the main dark horses to medal behind favourites GB/Canada/Sweden. 
 

 

Next two games are against struggling teams China and Denmark so you’d hope to get to 4-1.

BBC there made it sound like there were going to show the end ROC scored a 6 in and then cut to the ice hockey

From looking at the scoreboard they didn’t just score 6, they did so against the hammer. Absolute nightmare for the Danes.

Seems to be on at 1910 Eurosport (Sky Channel 985) if you have that channel.

Nah I don't have sky.

 

Enjoying the Skeleton China might be getting their first medal in sliding.

The south Korean skaters have thighs that would shame Chris Hoy.

Why anyone persists with skating once they have been to their local Ice Rink, got verucas, broke their ankles and sliced their hands open, is lost on me. Or perhaps that was just my experience skating in Kirckaldy.

Found footage of the ROC six ender against Denmark. Don’t know what the Danes were thinking. They had a pretty easy draw for one point (ROC was lying three and also had fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth shot) but instead they tried to pull off a Hail Mary triple take out to score 2. They hit the first ROC stone but cannoned into their own stone, spilling both that and their shooter out of the rings and allowing ROC to steal six.

Watching the 15km skiing and they are talking about the snow being sticky due to the sand being blown in from the desert. Very strange indeed.
It's shite tbh, not a fan of the artificial conditions they have created. Saw this satellite image the other day.787c6a29609c27feeed707ecef357082.jpg
