Thanks, Snooty. Crammy should stick to the Great North Run - just my opinion, of course - and he was babbling on about being positive and negative, which seemed to mystify Bruce and Jen, as well as me.
Anyway, tomorrow is a big day for a few Brits. In the Women's Freeski Big Air event at 01.05, Katie Summerhayes (No 17) is 13th to start and Kirsty Muir (No 12) is 15th. In the equivalent Men's event at 05.30, James Woods (No 16) is 27th away. Only the top 12 go through to the Finals on Tuesday after 3 Qualification Runs tomorrow.
In Long Track Speed Skating, Ellia Smeding competes in the Women's 1500m at 08.30 tomorrow. For those with long memories, this is the event where long and smooth strides are the order of the day and where the skaters change lanes halfway through the race (I think). Ellia (not married, but partner of Cornelius Kersten, also at Beijing for GB) starts the event in the inner lane against Yu Ting Huang from Chinese Taipei.
It should have been a big day for Alex Tilley in the Women's Giant Slalom, but that event has been re-scheduled to a future day/time due to weather/snow conditions. Just as a matter of interest, the Men's Downhill has also been re-scheduled and this delays Ireland's Jack Gower's appearance. His father's cousin is David Gower, one of England's greatest cricketers. It's amazing what you can find on t'interweb.
