Surely the BBC could have stuck with the curling for the 7th end of the mixed doubles rather than cutting to studio chat about the downhill. Sums up everything that is wrong with BBC coverage of sport - too much talking heads and not enough actual sport

[Grassmarket 4,305]

Good start to the day with a convincing win over Canada in the Curling & Kirsty Muir looking safe for a Q in the Ski Slopestyle.

[Grassmarket 4,305]

Confirmed Q for Kirsty Muir!

[Grassmarket 4,305]

Anna Pryce going well in the Cross Country Skiathlon, chasing a top 40 & is beating some pretty good names, including all the Aussies!I

 

Finishes 42nd, which might be a best for British Women & great for her first senior year.
