Winter Games Day 7 (Thu 13Th)

[joggerjayne]

Tomorrow, there is more Curling, with games 5 and 6 in both the Men's and Women's events.

But tomorrow's real "breathless with anticipation" event is ...

(FANFARE!)

The start of the qualifying runs for the Skeleton ... Aaaaaaaaggghhhhhh!

Lizzie Yarnold and Shelley Rudman in action.

Come on, girls.

Come on, Team GB !!

It starts at 7.30am, so ... see you on the other side, guys.

Have the coffee ready.

Terrible result in the women's 500 m short track. Poor Elise Christie, she must be gutted after she thought she'd got the silver. Shouldn't they have restarted the race, as happened so early on?

[joggerjayne]

It was an awful decision.

Definitely looked as though the Korean girl was on her way down beforehand and leant on her, causing the crash.
Myself, I'm looking forward to the ice hockey, especially meetings between USA/Canada/Russia and the 4 man bobsleigh.

Just watched a montage of the previous medal winners of the Mens Figure Skating and have to say that of all those shown, John Curry was far and away the most elegant and graceful of them all. I was 11 when I watched him win at Innsbruck and his whole programme just seemed effortless.
Shame he died so young.

Just watched a replay of women's skating race. My first thought......correct decision to eliminate our girl. But, in the slow motion replay (surely using the same pictures that the judges see), it's obvious that she is leant on by the Italian, before they fall. Robbed, I say, robbed!!

[joggerjayne]

Yes, robbed.
