What a stupid event. You can DNF and the team that has all clean runs and wins 2 of them can still get knocked out. Get rid of it.

All the pressure on Nico to win gold so we finish ahead of Australia. You know sibling rivalry...

Braathen out

Ah Ryding that was a bit disappointing in the end.

To be brutally honest. Apart from halfpipe I find mens Snowboarding in general very boring. I guess the progression is to just do the most spins. No real flair or realness.

NZ Reporter to Zoi . "You must be really disappointed with that final jump, did the pressure just get a bit too much?" OMFG! Leave the poor girl alone. Now you know why your news stations are getting attacked in NZ by angry mobs. Let's get a negative spin outta this

Gasser totally deserved but so gutted for Zoi but she's got at least another 2 maybe 3 olympics left so got lots of years ahead. The progression has been insane.

Im so happy for Xu Mengtao the bridesmaid finally gets the gold.

Only one bug bear with Ragnarok they killed off Vidar too early I feel. But in saying that Fjor has got into the villainous role rather well. Don't worry I've seen the 2nd season and yup, great scene.

Can Zoi win a 2nd gold medal? We shall see. Laurie Blouin, Anna Gasser and the Japanese riders, Iwabuchi, Murase and Onitsuba will be her main rivals

Since I'm heavily invested in tracing my grandfather's heritage back to Russia. I've now become interested in Russian movies and serials. I never really yearned or took much interest for the motherland much but since talking to my grandfather whose not got long to live he taught me about his upbringing and then how he escaped communism. I guess the older you get the more interested you are in odd things like genealogy etc. Now I've become interested in a lot of things Russian. This series is one of my favorite Russian series, practically village life for this one particular family before, during and after WW2. https://youtu.be/JBq7XaJylHE Quite like Ragnarok on Netflix even though not exactly a huge fantasy drama fan but the plot is very intruiging. Also like the Nordic Noir genre have to say the Scandinavians do dark thrillers and suspense very well indeed.

Well Lindsay Vonn had a Kiwi coach so there's that as well. But no I get you, hence what we are seeing from Naracott shouldn't come as a surprise as she is based in the UK and happens to be the girlfriend of Dom Parsons who won a skeleton bronze for GB.

Which is interesting because Great Britain have won 9 medals in the Skeleton and a few Bobsled medals in its history and this country has no sliding tracks. How the heck does that work?

Thanks Lindvik. 😊

I think it's got to the point where this curse is going to be broken sooner rather than later and what better way to do it is at home. It has to happen now right? Mind due hometown pressure can be overbearing.

I don't know. Too many variables for Australia. Not very many chances anymore. They have a big chance today in the Skeleton. Other chances in Monobob and W Aerials for gold. But I'm pretty sure China will win the aerials. Can't see anymore than that. If they don't win the skeleton today you can rule that possibility out.

Problem is they all play rugby.

Alice Robinson will have a crack at the DH on Wednesday. Only got a few bumps and bruises. She's got no regrets about how it went today. Yes disappointing that she crashed but her mindset was to go hard and push for something instead of having regrets and finishing 7th (Her own words) It's quite obvious to everyone that in time her main focus will be the speed events in the future. I actually think now she went in with the right attitude. So thank goodness for her she wasn't injured.

What a comeback from Mother Russia

I swear I just saw someone knitting in the stands.

The sunburnt country Australia will win 2 golds okay perhaps 2 medals and one will be 1 gold from sliding events. Who woulda thought???

What a disappointing olympics it's been for Alice.

That was short lived.

Still underscored. That should've been a 98.

This run better win.
