Merle Fräbel topping the luge after run one, much to nobody's surprise  

 

Diana Loginova and Jessica Degenhardt are battling for silver, girls behind them need to hope for huge mistakes.

Luge live timing sucks monkeyballs in terms of making it easy to follow how someone is doing (for example, no time differences with the current leader are shown), but fine. At least it's something.

1-2 for Germany in the women's luge, OMG  

[heywoodu 15,253]

I don't know, but I feel like the 1st run time of the German luge doubles might not be enough to hold off the Russian favourites...they only won a little bit of time on the Polish guys in the bottom.

Rinks/Liepins were way faster in the bottom part and cut their deficit in half in the second half of the track! The Russians should just make no mistake and they should take the lead by some margin..

[heywoodu 15,253]

Russians must have made a huge mistake, they went from leading at the last intermediate (but already down on speed) to being almost a second behind

 

This competition is more interesting than it promised to be

Slovaks are in 4th after run 1  @hckosice

Karnaukhov/Chirva were on a tear in their second run, but that ain't gonna be enough for their expected gold..

[heywoodu 15,253]

At least they managed to get bronze and I managed to get points for the easiest prediction contest question ever

Just had a first view of the jump in the cross-country cross course....the two Brazilian girls were trying it....and both crashed pretty much simultaneously  Luckily they managed to get up laughing about it, could have ended up worse: one of the ski's of the second faller nearly hit the first one straight in her face, but all's well that ends well
