No thread yet, even with one real snow bunny in @MiketheSnow a regular.

Weirdly my favourite Olympics despite a complete inability to ski.

Curling has started, and I am watching the downhill practice.

NZ should be better at this

Getting very excited

Just back from the FIS World Cup Weekend in Crans Montana, Switzerland

Press gig, so had backstage laminates a la Wayne & Garth

First time I've seen it up close

Superb

I hear that Mark Robinson is taking over the NZ Olympic skiing team, apparently it was his expertise at taking teams downhill fast that appealed to the NZ Olympic movement.

Can't wait for the two-man luge. Something deeply erotic about it.

Always a surprise when you get to watch a kiwi.

Some girl in the downhill practice gets a small Mariner cheer

Men's Downhill is live

[MiketheSnow]

Franjo van Allman of Switzerland takes the Games' first gold in the Men's Downhill

Italians Giovanni Franzoni and Dominik Paris take silver and bronze respectively

Franzoni's silver was Italy's 800th Olympics medal

Lindsey Vonn, aged 41, is competing in the Olympic skiing with a ruptured ACL.

Huge respect.
