Alright, 2nd run about to start. Michal Jasiczek somehow hang on to 30th place. The entire world can see how amateur our slalom skiing is

Some unfamiliar names!   Dries van den Broeke from Gent, a city flat even by Belgian standards.

His moment in the spotlight all too brief.  Not as bad as Kristofer Jakobson obviously, but nothing to boast about.

This will be the highlight of our Olympics!

Good run for Samuel Kolega. Nothing to be ashamed of though Rodes' 6th place at WChamps this is not.

Okay, I change my mind, the moment when Luca Aerni took a sigh of relief seeing the almighty S. Kolega going behind him will be the moment of this Olympics.

Vinatzer 0,63 ahead of Aerni but crashed out four gates from home. Well, that wasn't unexpected.

OK Dave, you gave done yourself proud.  Best skier over the top half on both runs. Just fingers crossed.  Minor target is better than 8th, which would be our best ever.
