Cross-Country Skiing FIS Eastern Europe Cup 2022 - 2023 (Almaty Soldier Hollow)

3 so far as a Brit. Mainly due to just missing out on solid medal chances with 4ths in W Snowboard Big Air and Ski Slopestyle, and a capitulation in the medal rounds of the curling mixed doubles after dominating the round robin.   Ice dance pair also had a solid chance pre-games of a medal, but made errors and finished a disappointing 7th.   Hope we can turn things around in the next few days with the Skeleton and Bankes in the Snowboard Cross.

Honestly, I'll be more than happy with any colour medal in the Women's race, especially after all the 4ths we've had so far this Games. Did not expect Stoecker (and also Tarbit) to look this fast.

I know a few of the top men weren't competing and track conditions were slightly different, but it's very impressive that Pfeifer's best training run on Wednesday was within half a second of the best men's run.   Almost all of that deficit was from the start, so her driving was right there with the best men despite the obvious weight disadvantage. Incredible run.

In that case, the athlete with the 80th, 10th and 10th place finishes would be ranked higher because their best finish of 10th place is higher than the other athletes best finish of 20th place.
