Grassmarket

First non - win in Women's NC ever, I think.

Brilliant win for Braunhofer 20/20 - I'm guessing a local lad. And what a stunning venue in the snow with the river running through the middle of the shooting range!

Bendika 15/15 in the Pursuit, misses 3 and still wins!

Snowboard Cross has been out of action for a while due to a cancellation, but another classic last-to-first win for Charlotte Bankes in China this morning.,

....and eve Seefeld has snow; normally one of your guaranteed thin ribbon of slush weekends.

Fuller explanation of Riiber -just plain old bad luck in his case. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/c74e0v122v9o

Wow! Brakeman must be an utter moron.

Ah the old bacon flag! (So called because it looks like a slice of Russian bacon - Сало)

Gold again.for Brad Hall in the St Moritz 4-Man!

Norway blew the win with a fall on the final jump from Kvandal.

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.
