Yeah, coaches are managing her self-confidence. Two shoot sprints & relays only this year.

And indeed just catching up with the men’s relay where your ex-partners did indeed go the wrong way & had to turn around, go back to the turn & start again, losing 21 seconds.

The result stood, so I’m guessing a minor technique violation in classic. There was no sign of obstruction, going off-course or a botched exchange, which would be DQFed.

And another one - Indian sprinter Duttee Chand. As discussed, India is currently the World Leader in doping bans. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/more-sports/athletics/dutee-chand-tests-positive-for-prohibited-substances/articleshow/97086771.cms

TV director of the women’s pursuit gets into a complete mess, cannot distinguish between leading & lapped athletes. Looks like a second Gold for Rousseau though

Curling Semis decided. Being played this evening & get TV coverage Women - - Men - -

It’s pretty impressive to find 2-3% extra for a home event, few manage it.

More biathlon from the World’s pariah states. It’s the not-too-accurately named Friendship Cup - Кубок Содружества - which is basically the same as the Russian Cup, except it’s taking place in Belarus. https://www.youtube.com/@russianbiathlon

Chevalier 0 0 takes the lead! Aww, Roeiseland beats Lampič

Wierer takes a big lead 0 0! Lampič 1 1 will be a threat!

I am sure a big job is coming up in the globalist bureaucracy. In the meantime, building up the bank account on the €100,000 an hour speech circuit.

Will look like fools if beat them later.

And it’s bronze, well done!

And a bronze for us in ladies’ ski slopestyle, Thea Fenwick.

Go into Gold in the Men’s Ski Slopestyle! 92.00 looks good for a medal.

Japanese sport is organised around big corporations, though, so these guys are doing themselves a favour.

I notice that some versions of the Olympics Channel app are closing this month. Certainly the Amazon Fire one is, and also the Apple TV. But if I understand it correctly then the web-based, IPad & Android versions will continue. I guess just a cost-cutting measure.

Name is Paul Vieuxtemps & he’s out of Grenoble, so I’m guessing a bit of a Togolese canoeist. But that’s what FISU is about. Hockey team scores some goals! score more.

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
