The only real hopes are maybe one in either of the curling. If they fail it’s the bobsleigh that makes up the best of the rest. But honestly I think zero medals is quite likely and will be the worse since 1992.

Katherine Grangier says she is not panicking yet. I bet she is secretly because she knows how bad it will be that £24m was spent. Funding was already cut by 25% last time. How low will go for the next cycle?

Snowboard: Huw Nightingale came 4th in his 1/8 final heat, not advancing to the quarterfinals. This confirms that Day 6 will end without medals for Team GB.

Impinge if Katherine Grainger ends up being fired as head of UK Sport for the Winter Olympics which is a small part of the budget. But zero medals will see someone getting fired.

Not sure he will improve over all the training runs to get near medal winning form.
