Story about that here, by coincidence. Most of Team GB including Joe Choong are knuckling down. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/articles/cdxng025xw8o

Debut podium for Theo Minyan Bjoerseth in - 2nd, but so close to the win.

Turned into a good race but terrible coverage. 8th shoot meltdown from 1. 2. 3.

......and we've lost contact...... Has turned into a complete mess.

We are off live with the Mixed Relay - streaming coverage is good although German comms only. 25 teams including Once again, plenty of snow. Got a few people doubling up from FISU.

Live streaming of the European Junior Championships from Altenberg this weekend.

1 G & 2 S for . Both the Curling 4s a mess, but Freestyle definitely a reliable medal event for us now.

I think of it as the Commonwealth Games of Winter Sports. Big assortment of standards plus some eccentric events. Really loved the orienteering. "Hey, do I go up this well-trod path or trudge shin-deep through fresh snow?"

This whole second week has been epic. Probably have to go back to vancouver for as much snow on the ground for a major champs.

Sorry it's official now.

Always a race to look forward to, there have been some epic v v clashes in the past.

Maybe...but it's only taken Vonn about three weeks to get back so....

Another Silver yesterday for Holly Smith in the Snowboard Big Air. Sadly looking unlikely for more Curling medals with both Men & Women stuck on losing records going into the last couple of rounds.

Not bad for a man from the Home of Flat. Good to see another big snowfall overnight, so plenty of raw material for week 2! Always depressing when your snow gets all scabby and muddy.

Kristoffersen never quite the first to congratulate his team-mates.

Thanks very much, truly honoured

Wierer on a rapid shooting day.

lead after 3 shoots.....
