Glad that Andorra is prequalified for the semifinals.

 

Also excited to see Kyrgyz snowboarders, who very much seem to be their best winter athletes, even though they are never going to make the Olympics...

Woohoo, what a tight QF that was!

The Aussie made it!!

I bet even in a heat with two athletes Lindsey Jacobellis would somehow manage to screw up and not go through

Thee riders in a QF and then you decide not to start?  

 

I guess she was sick or something, that's unfortunate.

Yeremin taking the bronze  

 

And Chavoutier with the biggest disappointment of his athletic life probably.

Wow, that was a painful finish for Takahara

Apparently the winner of the women's 3000m speed skating event (a sort of well-known World Cup-level athlete) is also a biathlete  

 

 

 

Well, or Almaty2017 is wrong of course, which seems slightly more likely

A 33-year old volunteer collapsed and died at the ski jumping Tuesday
