    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

    I was convinced by this explanation

    But since she said she just fucked up...

        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

              the Biathlon is probably my favourite event of the games but whoever the female commentator is, she is the probably the most annoying commentator of any sport. Absolutely doing my head in.

                Franjo Van Allman of Switzerland takes the Men's Super G Gold medal, his third gold of the Games.

                Only the third man to achieve this

                Toni Sailor 1956 (Cortina)
                Jean Claude Killy 1968 (Grenoble)

                Only Croatia's Janica Kostelic has achieved the feat in women's skiing, at the 2002 Salt Lake City Games

                    Klaebo equals the record for most winter golds at 8. He still has 3 more events apparently.

                      Australia continues their decent record in the x-games type events. Two golds now.

                            And Klaebo now has 9 Gold Medals. What a champion!

                                Huge day for the British Winter Olympic team.

                                Two Golds. Their first one ever on snow. First Winter Olympics where they have won two gold medals and the first won whether they have won three.

                                Above Canada and China in the Medal table.

                                Super Sunday indeed:
