Julia Marino had a crash on the first gate moment?

Tess Coady with a nervous run. 55.98 is a low score?

gives up the match at 1-6 despite a last stone in the 7th. Would be 1-9 otherwise. A complete shambles here.

Jenny Perret with a miss of the tournament. A simple single take out for 2 points and she misses the stone alltogether.

Instead of 4-3 it's 5-1

They had some snow events at night, including the halfpipe, no doubt for the benefit of American television.  

 

I don't see any reason to think we won't see plenty of events at night.

Unless the Italian organizers have released some info about exact timing of the events I see no reason to believe @phelps  is 100% right but maybe he knows something we don't   NBC might have their way with summer Olympics but nobody in Norway is getting up at 3 am to watch cross country under the floodlights. SLC will have all non-US strong events during daytime. Ski jumping, biathlon & cross country being prime examples.

Jeszcze inna sprawa, na stronie biathlon.pl stoi, że TVP wykupiło prawa na wyłączność do PŚ w biathlonie od przyszłego sezonu. Czyli już nie będzie na Eurosporcie?

Yeah, I recall the ski jumping and aerials under the lights in 2006. Italy is a country where they have that mid-day siesta period so they would be more destined to hosting more events at nights.

Hosting night events at SLC would be terrible for European audiences, I suspect in 2030 they will only host some US-strong freestyle events to ignore the European demands. But events like ski jumping will be held in local daylight to please the European market IMO.

Speaking of media attention, Janine Flock has posed for Playboy. Also Lisa Buckwitz (bobsleigh) for the German version.

Natalia Maliszewska has been released from isolation

If Lanišek doesn't improve (finish inside top 10) on the normal hill, I think Cene might be picked for the mixed team competition. As for the girls I think Urša might already be picked (due to world cup standings and potential retirement after next season) and it's between Nika and Ema for the second place. 

It also helps Bogataj had the best jumps in NH training.

Althaus, Bogataj & Kriznar with the best performance in training overall. Wouldn't be surprised if that is the podium tomorrow. The only question is the order.

Frida Westman Top 10 in both trainings and could be a minor shock if she gets into Top 10 when it matters. A lot of Polish fans cheer for the revival of Swedish ski jumping

Czytałem, że Chiny coś luzują obostrzenia testowe na ostatni moment? Ciekawe, czy wpływ na to miała sytuacja z Riiberem i potencjalne zagrożenia biathlonistów. Kto jak kto, ale Norwegia ma moc sprawczą w FIS i jeśli największa nacja na ZIO miałaby mieć kłopoty to nawet Chiny się uginają. Oby to była prawda.

Cene Prevc is somewhat shockingly dropped from the NH competition in favor of Anze Lanisek.

Wobec absencji Maliszewskiej na 500m nasze szanse na medal spadły o jakieś 30%. Nie wiadomo jak będzie się prezentować Czerwonka po swojej przerwie, czyli pewnie zostają biegi drużynowe. W skokach w żadne cuda nie wierzę.

29 of the 55 positive tests were conducted at the airport after the arrival so I presume those people won't be a risk except for those who shared a flight with them?

Men's moguls Q has started.

Polish ES is going places. Moguls have a MotoGP expert who usually does motor racing as one of the commentators

wins 8-7! The last stone looked too fast but died right at the end.

Italy blows the 6th end and they're lucky Switzerland missed out on four points. 6-5

Italy steals the 5th end and leads 5-3.

I have to say I switched channels during that Canadian goal review. Good grief, that lasted way too long.

Error from woman. Only 1 point instead of two.

vs is live? I don't see the "live" caption on Eurosport's logo

Senegal have two penalties awarded but rescinded by VAR checks in 1st half vs Burkina Faso.
