After the super-g portion of the men’s alpine combined (ok, technically it’s not finished yet, but the final few riders are highly unlikely to make an impact on this), there’s a very tight race for the medals.  Elliot Westlund leads (54.35) by a very slight margin over current silver and bronze medalists  Leon Hafner (54.40) and  Benno Brandis (54.47). Also still in the mix for the medals are  Liam Liljenborg in 4th (54.52), followed by  Nash Huot-Marchand in 5th (54.68),  Robert Clarke in 6th (54.71),  Nathan Quintero in 7th (54.89),  Leo Scherer in 8th (54.92),  Miha Oserban in 9th (55.15), and  Jonas Feichter in 10th.

Daleman  finally gets her first medal, and it’s a sensational gold in the women’s 500m (long track). I wonder if she’ll head over to the short track and try to make it a 500m double?

Finally a good day for Angel Daleman  

 

Generic English commentator was all surprised and sounded shocked even ("the very last skater, wow!!" ), despite...you know, Daleman being the youngest junior (yes, junior, not youth) world champion ever and skating with the seniors already this season, being the big favourite for today
