    I'm genuinely shocked Ric Flair is saying something nice about someone other than himself.

            New event, Men's Team Combined (1 skier does Downhill, 1 skier does Slalom) where times are combined.

            Another Swiss Gold for Franjo Van Allmen and first for Nef

            Odermatt and Meillard (SUI) joint second with the Austrians Kriechmayr and Feller

              I've not really got any thoughts on the Vonn incident, but I find it amusing Ric Flair is being put forward as someone to listen to.

                  First medal for NZ as Zoe Sadowski-Synnott gets the Silver in the Big Air

                  Fluffing her first run didnt help but she did great to nail the final 2.

                      I think they should make this a relay with a transition near the lift. First onto the chair gives a massive advantage!

                        Lindsay Vonn was interviewed post-accident. She reckons the ACL had no bearing on her accident. I don't know enough about skiing to know if that can be true. I guess the knee doesn't move as much as running. But it still has to support the body and take all that force as you cover the uneven terrain

                          it's worth noting that this wasn't her first ski at the games, they had practice runs, and Vonn was 3rd fastest.

                            Was that after sustaining the ACL injury?

                                She posted online earlier today stating it was her error and not the ACL injury that caused the crashed
                                She wrote she was 5 inches too tight in her line, clipping the gate.

                                that left leg of hers must just be a throbbing mess of pain and will be for some time

                                  Anyway nice to see NZ on the medal table and the Aussies not

                                    I was convinced by this explanation

                                        watched the cross country sprint which looks a hard as fuck day unless your name is Klaebo. Or you are a Swedish woman.

                                        Then the mens Biathlon 20km which is cool and in a beautiful spot. How was old mate getting bronze, and then in his words committing social suicide in the post race interview by admitting he told his missus a week ago he cheated on her, and they broke up? bro
                                        Of course a Norwegian won that as well
