It's good to see Snooty was up late/early to see Dom Parsons win GB's first medal of these games. Although everyone's commenting on how he benefitted from Dukurs' errors on the final run, don't forget he was only 0.02 seconds away from the Silver Medal.
Anyway we're now officially on a roll, with Lizzy Yarnold lying in 3rd (0.10 seconds behind) and Laura Deas in 4th (0.17 seconds behind) after the first 2 runs. Lizzy set a new track record in Heat 1 and Laura was 2nd fastest in Heat 2, so both have everything to gain tomorrow with Heat 3 at 11.20 tomorrow morning and Heat 4 at 12.45pm.
The GB Men curlers had a very good game against Sweden, despite losing 6-8 to Sweden at the last end. A couple of tactical errors and a couple of sweeping errors let the Swedes in and they are masters at taking advantage of any slight mistake. Canada and Sweden are way out in front with 4 wins each, with GB tied on 2 wins along with Italy, Switzerland and USA in 3rd equal. Tomorrow they play Korea in what will undoubtedly be a noisy match.
The GB Women have 2 games, the first against Denmark just after midnight, the second against a Korean team backed by an excitable crowd. Currently they lie in 3rd place, but need to get back on track with a convincing performance against the Danes, with some difficult games to come later.
Also of interest early tomorrow morning is the conclusion of the Ladies' 1500m and the Men's 1000m Short Track Speed Skating with both events being completed on the day, starting at 10.00am and the Medals being decided by 12.30pm. Elise Christie, Charlotte Gilmartin, Kathryn Thomson and Farrell Treacy are our athletes to watch out for.
In the Ladies Slopestyle Skiing, Isabel Atkins and Katie Summerhayes start their Qualification Run at 01.00am, with the target being the Finals at 04.00 onwards.
