Johannes Dale blew his gold chance, could still be on for a medal.

Desthieux 0 0 medal chance!

Rastorgujevs 0 1 Ponsiluoma storming final lap, looks good. Deffo a medal, likely heavy metal. Laegreid ski speed is slowing; like all Norwegian newbies, had to be strongest in December.

Two misses for JT first shoot. Loginov makes a complete mess ejecting a round.

Jeez, Bennie Weger has icicles in his beard! Lukas Hofer’s career in a nutshell. 0 1 Ponsiluoma clear!

Closing out the weirdest medal table in the history of Winter Sports - Gold for in the Team!

Realistically, the best place would be anywhere within a few hours coach or rail journey from NMNM.

X-Files theme starts playing. A group of eight tourists have gone missing in Russia's infamous Dyatlov Pass where nine people died in unexplained circumstances in 1959. The tourists from Moscow ventured into the pass in the rural region of Ural and had not returned by Wednesday morning as expected, Newsweek reported, citing E1.RU. A source told the Russian outlet: 'They were supposed to leave at eight o'clock this morning. But they have not returned yet and there is no contact with them.' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9249247/Dyatlov-Pass-Eight-tourists-missing-Russia-nine-people-mysteriously-died-1959.html

Off we go in Idre Fjäll, looks like perfect conditions again. Easy qual for Charlotte Bankes , slow start but generating a lot of straight speed! Jacobellis, the biggest fail in Olympic fails, out first round! Yes! Charlotte wins the semi..... GOLD! Almost fell at the last, lost tons of speed, just held,on. Think that must be ‘s first ever World Champs gold at an Alpine speed event. And would you believe Eguibar for Men’s Gold!

There’s no way Animal House should be 989th. I’d put it in the mid 870s, easy.

Gold ! OK Kriechmayer, a bit more realistic. Paris gets second. Manages to find a crowd to cheer him.

100% failure rate so far.

I’m thinking she won’t be doing the Combined after all.

Well, 30 down, looks like that is it barring a once-in-twenty-years event. not bad, had a couple of hairy moments but posts a time! Oh dear Alex Tilley big crash.

Ted Ligety announces his retirement. Will ski his last races in Cortina, then hang up his boots. https://snowbrains.com/ted-ligety-announces-retirement/ Great skier, but maybe one of those guys that went a couple of years too long.

Lara GB into the lead now.

Shiffrin takes early lead after wild ride. Excitingly for us on-screen graphics aficionados, we have a new icon representing start time! Shiffrin had a rough last quarter, though - Suter beats her.

In skeleton big margins don’t mean as much as the other sliding sports.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Oi France! Affreux! 2 loops for the Team with no Name!

Germany a long way down, ski speed is terrible.

Like watching a man on a tightrope crossing the Niagara Falls.

Yes, having TV coverage & geo blocking is a mixed blessing. Commentators obviously under strict orders to refer to the Grand Duchy of Muscovy as the RBU.

I call that good! Pokljuka too often is a brownfield site. Nice fields of white on the shooting board also.

Even modern pentathlon was better when they had to load physical lead pellets, because it was harder to do than just recocking.
