She’s happy with coal mines in though.

Aww! Just miss out on a medal in the men’s CC!

Mark Cavendish gets one-year deal at Astana Qazaqstan. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/64026016

Very good fields today - 69 for the Women’s CC & 80 or more for the men’s CC & Alpine.

British Team for the EYOF. Bit surprised we are not sending any curlers, but there's probably lots of other competitions going on. Alpine Skiing: Olivia Howeson – aged 16 from St Albans, Hertfordshire Charlotte Holmes – aged 17 from Burnley, Lancashire Molly Butler – aged 16 from Guildford, West Surrey George Black – aged 17 from Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk Luca Carrick-Smith – aged 17 from Edinburgh, Scotland Biathlon: Quentin Wedderburn – aged 17 from Aberdeen, Scotland Figure Skating: Arabella Sear-Watkins – aged 16 from Bolton, Greater Manchester Arin Yorke – aged 17 from Shrewsbury, Shropshire Freestyle Skiing: Bailey Webster – aged 16 from Castleford, Yorkshire Freestyle Snowboard (Slopestyle and Big Air): Charlie Lane – aged 15 from Brighton, East Sussex Teiva Hamaini – aged 15 from Gibraltar Amber Fennell – aged 15 from Dudley, West Midlands Short Track: Willem Murray – aged 15 from Nottingham, Nottinghamshire Joseph Armstrong – aged 16 from Reigate, Surrey Ski Cross: Jake Dade – aged 16 from Great Yarmouth, Norfolk Snowboard Alpine: Samuel Carpenter – aged 16 from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire Snowboard Cross: Mackenzie Patrick – aged 17 from Frimley, Surrey

Yeah: I’d rather pay & get the service than not pay & not get it.

Ok 5 penalty loops & 13 shots is extravagant 5 & 17

Once again Japan’s innovative “send your best athletes” strategy pays off! Woohooo ! Gold! That is out of the blue! Was expecting curling only.

And Scott Johns into the men’s final!

@hckošiceGot a girl into the Ski Cross final Nikola Fricova.

Wow Alpine Combined double for!

Alpine medal for ! Silver for Drukarov! Gold!

Yeah, we got really great coverage 2012-2016, but now it’s back to 1996 as far as mainstream coverage in most of Europe is concerned.

Impressive line-ups for the Combined - 44 Men, 29 Women. Usually a neglected event at World level now.

Yep, very foreseeable problems when three or more British medal chances conflict.

Gold for Pulles on the Women’s CC Sprint - I seem to remember Kristina Šmigun also won FISU Gold.

Very cool that the speed skating is taking place on the outdoor track, I’m guessing the Eric Heiden 1980 one.

Going well for Vittozzi, relaxes with a beer.

I was taught that in Czech & Slovak you insert half-vowels. So VuLHOVA, ŠTuVRTECKY etc.

Nervous time coming for ! Aagh 19/20 & looks very tired.

OK women’s biathlon coming up - 43 starters. Another who is in for a long day.

If that had been a WC race it would have been so cancelled, but in a multi-event Champs…no problem get their first gold, Fabiano Dorigo.

On the World Cup circuit, leaders get elaborate thrones to sit on. Here: three barbecue chairs.

OK Women’s Super-G on delay now. Foggy at the top. incidentally, commentator on biathlon & cross country is former Alpine skier & Olympian Graham Bell.

Come on guy, make sure you finish! Yes, 27:18 down, great job son!
