Oh so, NOW the Kenyans want to do something about doping. India also got some explaining to do. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/africa/63742785

Ladies first through to the final.

Afraid that - of which I own about 10 square metres - will always be shoved around until we learn to pay our debts & balance our budget, which will be shortly after the big Beatles reunion.

Actually our very best kit - Kristian Bromley hand-mades - always goes to other nations because reasons.

Should add that have brought in Martins Dukurs ….but everyone knows the best players don’t always make the best coaches.

Busy day today 15:00 Scottish women in the curling semi v Denmark 18:25 & 20:10 Marcus Wyatt, Matt Weston & Laurence Bostock in the Men's Skeleton 19:00 Men's curling semi v Italy 22:55 & 23:55 Brogan Crowley & Laura Deas in the Women's Skeleton.

Money tight in post-Olympic year. Only 15 starters in the men's and 16 in the women's today.

Men’s round robin finishes on a triple lock at 8-1, Swiss win on the tiebreak throw. Semis are V tonight V tomorrow.

The last one was in 2014 and everyone agreed there wasn't going to be another for a generation ie 2040 or so.

So changing the name of the country works!

Women’s semis decided after an amazingly tight final session. Scotland v Denmark Switzerland v Italy. https://worldcurling.org/events/ecc2022?pageType=standings

IBSF has put up the YouTube placeholders for the first World Cup in Whistler, starting tomorrow, so you'll be able to work out when the races are being held relative to you this weekend. The sessions run Thursday morning to Saturday evening time. Thursday - Men's Skeleton & Women's Skeleton Friday - Women's Monobob & 2-Men Bob Saturday - Women's Bob & 4-Man Bob

For the semis will be tough. Worlds will probably be a play-off.

You will never guess what is going to happen to the Chinese GP in Shanghai next year.... Formula 1: Chinese GP to be cancelled because of the country's Covid policies - BBC Sport

Scottish men continue to dominate - now up to 7-0 and certain to qualify for the Semis. Women are 3-4 - safe from relegation but will need a whole lot of luck to qualify.

And in fact here’s a story all about him. https://worldcurling.org/2022/11/niklas-edin-ecc/

This is weird - Eurosport / Discovery schedules for next week do not show any biathlon. Surely nobody is going to do anything stupid….

Good day in the Curling - 2 big wins for the guys & the ladies get back on track with a hard-fought comeback against Sweden.

Just a bump for this - we start in Whistler on Thursday.

Mixed day for Scottish curlers - Men win a tight one over Sweden to go to 3-0, but women lose twice to go 2-2.

Has been threatening for a while - 7 4 after 7. Fight back - 7-7 after 9. Scotland close it out 8-7, but a tight game between two teams heading for the medals.

Edin must be going crazy in the comms box as without him make mistake after mistake.

Big lead for Wendy Holdener, must surely win now. Errrrmmmm…..
