Would be great if GB Snowsport could do a better job of promoting the team. The squad announcements were only on Instagram and I don't think they've posted any results from last week's events from the Park and Pipe events. My life's much easier if the federations put a bit of weight behind putting the results out there.

None of the Brits have made it past their respective qualification rounds so far unfortunately, with just the rail events to come on Friday.

Sadly in the Men’s Junior World Curling Championship,  didn’t make it through their semi final, losing a straightforward draw in the final end when they had the hammer and so could only play for Bronze.

 

The scoreline in the semi final:

 6 -  8

 

They played Canada for the Bronze and won:

 9 -  8

Great result for Freddy but so disappointing for his brother. Luca led the first heat and was 2 seconds(!) clear half way through his second run before his DNF.

 

Should've been a double podium for the Carrick Smiths.

Bronze for Charlotte Bankes in the Montafon Snowboard Cross, so she is still in with a decent chance of another Crystal Globe at the final in Canada in a fortnight.

BRONZE! for Niall Treacy at the short track World championships in the 1000m

 

First World short track medal for GB since Elise Christie won triple Gold in 2017. Treacy also finished 5th in the 1500 yesterday.
