What’s funny is that the Norwegian teams here seems just to be made up of random everyday people who happen to be studying Accountancy or Engineering or whatever in the USA, not trained athletes at all.

Apline Skiing has been postponed this morning, so cross country skiing will indeed be giving out the first medal in a short while.

Snowboard Cross just started on FISU 3

Soft snow really catching these riders out this morning. It looks like it might be raining, rather than snowing, at Gore Mountain.

Shee, we’re going to be here all day with the snowboard cross - they are using, would you believe, the scoring system from Motorcycle Speedway, so everyone gets five runs before the knock-out semis!

Just noticed that on the results/schedule page, you have an option to toggle to your local time!

Apparently two unknown Italian are going for the podium. That's surprising

Yeah, they’re a bit like that Iranian guy who sprints off the front for the first 30km of the Cycling World Champs.
