    According to the British ES Comms (who are in e-mail contact with Wright’s mentor back in NZ), the NZ federation “always intended to send him, but the news was embargoed till yesterday”. Yeah, right.

    Sorry, was joking, don’t know if it’s true. But if the Kiwis had any sense, they’d suddenly develop an internet fault that won’t be fixed until Monday.

    Too late, has already snatched up that refused place!

    Just found it he has got grandparents - we are claiming him!

    British team named. Only one four man team, so Greg Rutherford missed out. Four Man Brad Hall Greg Cackett Nick Gleeson Taylor Lawrence Two Man Brad Hall Greg Cackett Women’s Mica McNeill Montell Douglas - Uk’s first ever female Winter & Summer olympian, also the Beijing Double. Reserves - Adelle Nicol & Ben Simon.

    If things like that happened in Men’s tennis every police force in the world would be investigating a global Russian mafia betting scam, but in Women’s it’s just another Thursday.

    Incidentally, I know that Jaque Muorao was thinking that perhaps she would be the only person to do the Beijing 2008/2022 double but there will be at least one other - Britain's bobsleigh brakewoman Montell Douglas was in the 2008 100m/4x100m.

    British team. We’ve had seven medals in the last five Olympics, including three consecutive Women’s Golds, but it’s hard to see one this time, Women Brogan Crowley Laura Deas Men Matt Weston Marcus Wyatt

    Seems a bit odd when people are regularly drafted into CC relay teams from biathlon, which is a completely different federation.
  10. Grassmarket
    Same is true in many events where there are more men than women on the circuit - ski jumping, ski & board cross, slopestyle etc etc.

    The PLA is going to be busy, then.

    Been watching 20+ years, don’t remember ever seeing such a pile-up before.

    Incredible race! Incidentally, no crowds at anything in at the moment - but suddenly, there will be 1000 spectators at Kitzbuhel next week. Celebrities only, of course.

    Just so everyone’s clear Djokovic is not being deported because he is a health risk. If he was a health risk it would be grossly irresponsible to take him to the airport & put him on a plane. He is being deported because he is a political risk to the Australian government. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-australia-60001871

    I would say quite likely. Generally, NZ are tight with their budgetting. Don’t know if they are in the habit of sending young hopefuls just for the experience.

    Felt sorry for Ilves: so close to what must have been Estonia’s first WC win in any winter Olympic event for a long time. (Of course, someone is going to come back & say “How can you ignore Estonia’s dominance of Team Moguls?” or whatever).

    Kriechmayer benefits from his practice run yesterday.

    Full-length Wengen!

    Goggia skis down to the finish, just not so fast.
  20. Grassmarket
    Oi oi Goggia in a big high speed crash. Looks like she’s walking away.
  21. Grassmarket
    If you can rustle up a few plane tickets for the Ministry of Sports you get a place.
  22. Grassmarket
    Tells me some guy has incredible Excel skills.
  23. Grassmarket
    Yeah, ski speed means that she can make up a a lot of places on the final lap.
  24. Grassmarket
    Hanna Sola staring at a complete disaster: just about recovers.
  25. Grassmarket
    Stina Nilsson very respectable relay leg.
