Not official yet,  and  are still mathematically alive in the below scenario along with  and at 2-5 somehow, but they need to win out and hope for a massive amount of luck. 5th loss pretty much puts them out of playoff contention though. 
 
They need:
- Sweden to lose to Canada and USA
-  Canada lose to Switzerland and Korea, while beating Sweden 
- Switzerland to beat Canada and lose to Great Britain and Norway
 
They would all finish at 4-5, and it would come down to H2H (overall, and between the tied teams) then DSC. DSC wise, Canada and Korea are screwed, while Czechia are the frontrunners. Head-to-head, there's too many scenarios to calculate still.  
 
Assuming  and  qualify. 
 
After next session, we'll have a much clearer picture. 

Thanks man. TOP 10 after a long time. I think she has shaped her form well for the Games. Let's see what other events. I wish she made TOP5 in one of the events. But Swedish were unbelievable today. I am also surprised by Kalin . 

Janatova in 7th as well, not too bad

I will watch this for her! Great athlete!

Yes, the dream is still alive. But honestly, I am not so sure she will participate. She is getting ready on snowboard, she spoke today in favor of snowboard. But let's see what she is going to do. Today, she was practicing on snowboard, not sure whether she would transfer on skis. But let's see and hop for the best possibility...

It was very low to begin with though. 
 
However, I will say this match has really shown me that they'll for sure be contenders in the future when they have more experience, and they still have 2-4 Olympics left in them 

Ester Ledecká is in the downhill training start list 😁 .... That is becoming interesting 😁 😁 🤔

‪On his friends: “I know my friends were watching. I’m sure they made a drinking game out of me so they might be unconscious on the ground right now”‬ 

The competitions are under FIS rules, so 1 training is enough

Which means great news for Ester Ledecka 😄

I have just checked the weather. It should snow till Saturday. Sunday a bit above 0°C and sunny. I am starting to feel whether the women's downhill will actually be postponed 😅😅😅..... Women's training cancelled. 
 
Bormio a bit better. Men's training tomorrow should be ok, but on Friday should be very snowy. Let's see how it goes ...

canoe slalom competitor Gabriela Satkova retired at the age of 24. 

Yeah, they do get broadcast pretty regularly.  I remember even back in Bode Miller's day they would show the training.  

Hope there will be no more news of injuries. 

Yes, sir

Kira just won her first careers race

Well, I truly hope Lindsay is alright. It would be a disaster for her after all that hard work as I believe many fans worldwide wish her the medal from Cortina. Wish her all the best 🙏🙏🙏🤞🤞🤞💪💪💪

And there it comes. Today's training cancelled....

There's supposed to be men's training today, and the women's SG tomorrow... In my opinion, these competitions shouldn't be on the calendar at all. The World Cup in biathlon or cross-country skiing has no competitions before the Olympics in last weekend.
