Lölling only 10th and 11th, Flock and Yarnold had a good day. Still, it all doesn't mean so much yet.

Nice from Deas in the practice. 0.01s behind winner Flock

Congrats, i think you will win 3 medals and probably a gold. I am very sad that Germany won't win a medal in skeleton, i think Hermann and Lölling both would have deserved a medal and Germany would have deserved a gold given the last couple of years, but obviously it won't happen. I guess GB winning the gold is ok too ...

You don't really think of Wrexham as a powerhouse of winter sport, do you?

You say that but a few years ago there were plans to build a Ski Jump Centre in Wrexham, so you never know!

Unlike the women (sadly), the men's training is being shown live on the Eurosport Player at the moment

Controversy about the British suits, which have some sort of 'spoilers' built into and, and a sort of coating over it. There has been protest against it from several nations, because it's apparently rather simple as to what is allowed: nothing. No coating, no 'spoilers' under the suit, nothing. Let's see if IBSF decides to do something...probably not, but alright.

I thought my comment about the sled would throw you off the scent!! Apparently the same technology was used in 2010 and 2014 Olympics before by Team GB so it should be ok, it's the same suits material our track cyclists wear at the Olympics and nothing else, looks like Skeletons the same!
