Geiger wins! Graabak 2nd! Greiderer 3rd.

Rydzek led with 800 meters to go and finished sixth 21 seconds back

Geiger in turbo mode! Rydzek is gone!

Rydzek looks good, Greiderer suddenly looks really tired and might lose a medal.

2,5 kms left and the gap is down to 18 seconds. Geiger obviously doesn't watch cycling. He's pulling the chasers back even though there are two Germans in the leading group.

Julian Schmid is dropped. Bronze suddenly available?

The gap has grown to 31 seconds at half-distance. Not much excitement here.

Greiderer & two Germans together - still 26 secs ahead of Lamparter & Herola after 2,5 kms.

beats 1-0.

The only goal was scored when Swiss player kicked the puck into his own net

So Riiber is still not clear? What a bummer this could turn out for him. More than Kramer, who was very good only this season, while he has been dominating for 4 years.

Yeah, Riiber, Ilves, Frenzel & Weber were all absent.

Lamparter can make up 26 seconds to Greiderer? I assume Japanese will struggle in cross country as usual.

I'm afraid in Slovakia it's better off being ice hockey player #856 than ski jumper #1?

Nope, that is what one of the small finalists said after their race today.

I remember Jacobellis said something similar after 2006 final though. She said "I was having fun". Yeah, throwing away a gold medal is fun? She's older now and I bet she regrets that 2006 final for quite a while already.

I rmemebr watching the 2006 final and saying she will regret this for her life. What redemption for Jacobelis. I can actually be happy when Canada doesn't win gold ...

It does help this event is a low-hanging fruit with the same names competing for top places over & over again. And the fact Jacobellis hang around for so long tells me she really wanted that gold medal on hindsight. USA generally doesn't care about second place finishes by default.

“I can’t be mad. I had fun.” Yes, more of that attitude please!

I bet she has regretted making that comment for years now. One of the easiest things to mock in WOG history. You don't throw away Olympic gold medal like that.

Jacobellis does it!!! 16 years in the making!!!

Moioli & Gaskin out in separate falls in small final. Mind is gone.

Pereira de Sousa will be 5th. Critchlow 6th.

The flag bearer curse!

So much for Moioli. She had some errors on the rollers.

Jacobellis & Trespeuch into the final.

I guess Moioli is the big favorite now.

wow the medal ceremony is right now live on Eurosport 1

Whoa! The medal ceremony is so fast after the race? I thought they are doing it in the bubble/cube or whatever that is called?

What a QF4!!!! Bankes is OUT!!!

So, who is the bigger media star in Czechoslovakia? Ledecka or Vlhova? @hckošice

I have a feeling the same names advance in SBX over & over again. There are like 10 women who always finish in Top 10 and then random field fillers. The snowboard depth is really small these days.

Hopjakova looks to be injured after a crash

Let's be real, Lena Duerr winning this would be hilarious. We haven't had a "shocking" gold medal winner in alpine skiing yet
