Went for a 1260, shouldn't have bothered, only good enough for fifth.

Not the first time 'absolutely smashed it' has been heard on sport TV.

Karly Shorr with a 39.

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 09:33 AM
Elena Koenz of Switzerland falls down, did it in more style than Shorr, getting a 24.

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 09:34 AM
Fuller is a screamer.

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 09:36 AM
Torah Bright nailed it, so the commentators thought. Only gets a 64.

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 09:36 AM
Brandon Wong is the head judge. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 09:37 AM
"ohhh noooiceee".

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 09:39 AM
Jamie Anderson of USA nailed it, 80.

These commentators have no idea what the judges are going to decide.

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 09:43 AM
Anna Gasser of Austria. Messed it up big time. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 09:45 AM
Time for the second run now.

Jenny Jones of Team GB in fifth. :popcorn:

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 09:51 AM
Silje Norendal of Norway has an absolute stinker. Every section stumbled and eventually falls.

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 09:52 AM
Jenny Jones up. :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 09:53 AM
Jenny Jones nailed it tbf.

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 09:56 AM
The judges can't decide. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 09:56 AM
Jenny Jones gets an 87 and is in to provisional first! :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 09:58 AM
Sina Canadrian just did a 1080. :lol:

Jones won't be first for long, although what do these commentators know tbf?

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 10:00 AM
Sina Canadrian gets an 87 but Jones maintains first. :popcorn:

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 10:02 AM
Horrible landing for Sarka Panochova of Czech Republic. Hope she is ok. Really caught her head on the snow.

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 10:04 AM
Her helmet with a massive crack on the top of it.

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 10:07 AM
Enni Rukajarvi of Finland in to the gold medal position with a ridiculous 92. :blink:

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 10:13 AM
Elene Koenz's run over in about 10 seconds. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 10:16 AM
Torah Bright sat down so that will be her with no chance of the medals.

Aussies. :lol:

Only three left to run.

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 10:18 AM
Jamie Anderson of Yanksville might be getting gold tbf.

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 10:20 AM
And Anderson is in to gold with 95!

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 10:22 AM
Only Gasser can deny Jones now for a bronze.

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 10:24 AM
Commentators ecstatic Gasser messes up.

Anderson of USA gets Gold! Well done to her.
Rukajarvi of Finland gets silver.
Jones of Team GB gets bronze! :bow: :bow: :bow:

Gold Medal
Irene Wust (Netherlands) wins women's 3,000m speed skating

Irene Wust, dressed in orange, hugs her team as the final pairing fail to beat her time. The Dutchwoman is the Olympic champion, with defending champion Martina Sablikova settling for silver and Olga Graf winning Russia's first medal of the Games with bronze.

Well done to her.

McNamara That Ghost...
09-02-2014, 01:32 PM
One thing I don't quite get...are they not allowed to play other national anthems in Russia? :unsure:

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 08:41 AM
At least outside anyway.

GB's men beat Russia in the curling. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 04:53 PM
GB women lost in curling 6-4 to Sweden.

GB men are currently playing Sweden but are losing.

Charles Hamelin of Canada won gold in the short track 1,500m. GB's Jack Whelbourne crashes out and injured himself.

Han Tianyu of China got silver and Viktor Ahn of Russia gets bronze.

Alpine Skiing
Women's super combined

A second gold of the Games for Germany thanks to Maria Hoefl-Riesch. Nicole Hosp won silver for Austria (+0.40) with American Julia Mancuso (+0.53) taking bronze.

Gold Medal
Martin Fourcade (France) wins men's 12.5km pursuit

Such is his handsome lead, Martin Fourcade takes a moment to raise his arms in the air as he approaches the final 100m. He glides over the finishing line and triumphantly removes his skis. Ole Einar Bjoerndalen was fourth.

A bunch of tired-looking athletes, gasping for breath, are now crossing the finishing line. There'll be plenty of lactic in those legs. Czech Republic's Ondrej Moravec takes silver while France's Jean Guillaume Beatrix will join his compatriot on the podium to collect the bronze.

Some of it shamlessly stolen from the BBC.

Michel Mulder (Netherlands) wins men's 500m speed skating

Jan Smeekens raises his hands in the air as he crosses the line. The Dutchman thinks he has won but he hasn't. Michel Mulder, who is 10 minutes younger than twin brother Ronald, has won it by the narrowest of margins - just 0.01 seconds!

There is no stopping the Netherlands in the speed skating events in Sochi. The Dutch have now won seven out of nine speed skating medals, as Jan Smeekens (pictured) take silver and and Ronald Mulder the bronze.

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 05:09 PM
Team GB are getting a pumping from Sweden now. 8-3 down. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 05:22 PM
And that was the final score. On to luge now.

Nutters. :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 05:25 PM
Although that's finished now. :lol:

All done for the day apart from men's freestyle skiing - men's moguls.

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 06:01 PM
Per Spett of Sweden first up.

Cavey wavey. :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 06:03 PM
21.81 for him.

Must be good.

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 06:04 PM
Corked 1080 from Ben Cavet of France. 22.97 for him. :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 06:05 PM
JSAO's son now.

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 06:06 PM
21.73 for him sadly. Had a picture of JSAO to show the camera though. Aw.

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 06:17 PM
Patrick Deneen of USA in to second.

No Team GB competitor in this final but plenty of Canadians. :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 06:18 PM
Matt Graham the Aussie dumps him to third though. :lol:

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 06:25 PM
Marquis of Canada up to first.

Cavey Wavey might be going out. :(

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 06:27 PM
Endo. :lol:

Of Japan up now. May have ballsed it up straight away.

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 06:31 PM
Russian man in to first. :popcorn:

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 06:35 PM
All four Canadians through.

Cavey Wavey there too.

Down to the final 12. :popcorn:

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 06:40 PM
Cavey back. :bow:

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 06:40 PM
He messes it up though. :(

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 06:50 PM
Ben Cavet. :lol:

From England, skiis for France.

WOO didn't finish.

McNamara That Ghost...

Falls on his arse after completing his time. :haha:

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 06:57 PM
The Canadians are dominating.

Shaqiri Is Boss
10-02-2014, 06:59 PM
That guy's face when his score came up was the picture of disappointment.:console:

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 07:02 PM
Some of them already know but not him.

Down to the final six. Three canadians in it, so probably getting a medal straight away. :lol:

Shaqiri Is Boss
10-02-2014, 07:08 PM
You don't realise how many times I counted to six on my hands, before the edit.

McNamara That Ghost...
10-02-2014, 07:08 PM
:lol:

I just assumed they had all made it through. Me. :doh: And they would have only been guaranteed one medal. Me again. :doh:

Did he say sheet ice or shit ice?

Xhaka Can’t
10-02-2014, 07:09 PM
Nope - could finish 4th to 6th.

I like skiing moguls myself, but I feel I'm smashing it if I carve a few good bumps on the fall line. What they do is ridiculous and would send me to the osteopath.

Men's halfpipe on now. :popcorn:

Speed Skating
Women's 500m

Lee Sang Hwa winces as she crosses the line, maybe in disbelief at defending her title or possibly is exhaustion. Olga Fatkulina (+0.36) wins silver for Russia, while Margot Boer (+0.78) of the Netherlands will take home a shiny bronze medal from Sochi, which is nice.

Gold Medal
Darya Domracheva (Belarus) wins women's biathlon 10k pursuit

Darya Domracheva emerges through the mist in first place and crosses the line a whopping 37.6 seconds ahead of her nearest rival Tora Berger, of Norway, who has to settle for silver. Slovenia's Teja Gregorin grabs bronze.

Gold Medal
Ola Vigen Hattestad (Norway) - men's cross-country skiing (sprint)

Incredible. Ola Vigen Hattestad makes it a Norwegian sprint double. Teodor Peterson's challenge faded with a stumble in the closing stages, with Emil Jonsson coming through to take bronze.

Gold Medal
Maiken Caspersen Falla (Norway) - cross-country skiing (sprint)

Norway's Maiken Caspersen Falla wins gold in the women's cross-country sprint. She collapses on to the snow, roaring with delight. It's a photo finish for the silver and bronze medals.

Freestyle Skiing
Women's ski slopestyle final

Teenager Dara Howell of Canada celebrates with the two other ladies who will join her on the podium, and they are silver medallist Devin Logan (85.40) of America and Howell's compatriot, Kim Lamarre, who took bronze.
