...and she did not even have to do that run, which bested her Gold Medal score.

Well, hey hey hey, go team UK! Having had to pick myself off the floor, convulsing with hysterical tears of joy at the seeming end of our curlers, we have now won, yes won, an Olympic bronze in the Men's skeleton. More tea vicar? There may be more to come.

Great finish in today's 15km biathlon. After all the skiing and shooting to have the gold/silver decided by a couple of inches was terrific. Vive la France.

Have been watching it on Hulu Live. Wife watches her Olympics and I listen to music. Does what the talking heads have to say really make any difference? I say no.

PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games
Earlier today Kelly and I were trading Olympic Moments. We decided we prefer the Winter Olympics to the summer Olympics. What makes the Winter Olympics so special?
We think it is the massive element of risk in a lot of the winter sports. Make a mistake on the half pipe and you are wounded best case. Paralyzed worst case. Or dead. Make a mistake in synchronized swimming? Who cares, really? Maybe skin a toe or something. Yes there are summer Olympic sports with a good deal of risk - but nothing like the Winter Olympics.

Good news on the blighty front too, we've matched the 4 medals at Sochi, got a gold by maintaining dominance in the Ladies skeleton, and got a bronze for the first time with ski's on our booties in the Ladies slope style skiing, albeit she had an american accent, and an English chap came 4th in the men's. Laying one's net further, another blighty chap came 6th, or 9th, in a skiing marathon thing, so we might be able to take it to the Norwegian's in future years. All this from a land with no snow, and only a few rolling hills, and a cultural tradition as rich as Guam's in winter sports.
