A bit late in arriving, but there now.

Start with the internet.

First up is the Wheelchair Doubles Curling vs .  Once the main Games gets underway the Doubles will run alternately with the Fours, but a chance to get a good position on the board early.
 
 

Sadly in the Men’s Junior World Curling Championship,  didn’t make it through their semi final, losing a straightforward draw in the final end when they had the hammer and so could only play for Bronze.
 
The scoreline in the semi final:
 6 -  8
 
They played Canada for the Bronze and won:
 9 -  8

Should not think we will need a Daily Thread on this, so here's an Overall.

This guy Paul Seixas at age 19 is certainly putting himself in the position of the Next Great  Hope for the Tour de France.  Never an easy title to.hold.

Ok once again the  sense of humour leaves the world perplexed.

Just look at women's magazines - fashion, diets, makeup, interior design, gossip but never any articles about sport.

Unbelievable mess in Men's Ski Cross final in  today. Big crash & 3 riders were DNF. The only finisher was relegated for causing the crash, so the winner was the DNF guy who got furthest down the hill!  

Lindsay Vonn still leads the overall Speed rankings 

European Champs in Birmingham this summer are already sold out, and extra temporary seating is now being organised.

Just found out that here in Scotland it is a tradition to give all the winter road gritting / snowplough lorries individual names.  Many are very funny.  It's a tradition dating back to 2006, and the names are all created and chosen by schoolchildren.   You can track them live!
