Bronze for the curling lassies!  Things looking good for the Olympic Q, they look like a stable, settled team at last.

Just reminded elsewhere: top 6 in the Worlds this year is an automatic first-tranche Olympic Qual, so that is the target.

Some great shots from the guys, but consistency was not there, so only.a Silver.  Not so very long ago that two curling medals was the start of the winter season for Team GB, but here we are with piles of medals already.

Two big results this weekend.  Mia Brookes got her first World Cup Gold - she has already been World Champion - in the snowboard Big Air in Beijing.  Plenty of silver and bronze, but that's the first Gold.

And a 16th place for Cross Country skier Joe Davies in the 20km Freestyle in  Ruka this morning.  Joe had done a few WCs before, but was mostly on the NCAA circuit this last couple of years.  So that's a great result for him.
