Women fighting at the Hockey rink. :bow:
Aimee Fuller commentating. :lol:
Not good enough for the final so is now talking rubbish on the women's slopestyle.
Not the first time 'absolutely smashed it' has been heard on sport TV.
The Yank falls down. :lol:
Karly Shorr with a 39.
Elena Koenz of Switzerland falls down, did it in more style than Shorr, getting a 24.

Torah Bright nailed it, so the commentators thought. Only gets a 64.
Brandon Wong is the head judge. :lol:
"ohhh noooiceee".

Time for the second run now.
Jenny Jones of Team GB in fifth. :popcorn:
Silje Norendal of Norway has an absolute stinker. Every section stumbled and eventually falls.

Jenny Jones nailed it tbf.
The judges can't decide. :lol:
Jenny Jones gets an 87 and is in to provisional first! :bow:
Sina Canadrian just did a 1080. :lol:
Jones won't be first for long, although what do these commentators know tbf?
Sina Canadrian gets an 87 but Jones maintains first. :popcorn:
Horrible landing for Sarka Panochova of Czech Republic. Hope she is ok. Really caught her head on the snow.
Her helmet with a massive crack on the top of it.
Enni Rukajarvi of Finland in to the gold medal position with a ridiculous 92. :blink:
Elene Koenz's run over in about 10 seconds. :lol:
Torah Bright sat down so that will be her with no chance of the medals.
Aussies. :lol:

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.
One thing I don't quite get...are they not allowed to play other national anthems in Russia? :unsure:
At least outside anyway.
GB's men beat Russia in the curling. :lol:

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.
