The calm before the storm. Big day for the figure skating team while our mixed doubles curlers face another two tough opponents.

Wow what a start by Morris and Homan! Steal 3 from Switzerland.

It's still early but they seem much more confident today.

Strong win for Morris and Homan.  On to China this afternoon.

Not the greatest skate for Sadovsky

Cleared all my covid tests and security checks, I'll be going to the Opening Ceremonies tonight! 

 

Long story short, I know someone who knows someone and our big group got whittled down for many reasons, but I finally was one of a few to make the final cut.  Will also go to another event in a week and the Closing Ceremonies too (and Paralympic Ceremonies).  

 

It'll be a long day and we're not allowed to bring battery packs in, so I hope my phone lasts with all the pictures and updates.  

 

So excited!

Will this cost us the bronze ?

Potentially. Good chance we're only going to get 3 points from the men's short program and if Japan gets 10 we'll be 7 points down. Not an easy deficit to come back from. But then again, there's a reason why they skate. Anyone can have a meltdown on any given day.
