All they need now is crowds!
Just watched the slope style and there's hardly anyone there watching it!
shame.

Can't be helping the USA is talking up the security risk even more than it did for London.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

shoogly, I'm sure the crowds will increase when the opening ceremony has passed and the games start 'for real'. I don't think the USA talking up the security risk is going to make much difference. I think the main deterrents are the fact that Russia is unusually 'foreign' and logistically it is a bit of a pig to get to.

In the slopestyle does everyone qualify for the next round if they don't go direct to final? When media announce such and such has made semi-final doesn't mean they have done anything really? One of the women who must have been injured just cruised the course, I suppose to make next round.

Is the BBC the only place I can watch the games? Anyone know who else is broadcasting it? The BBC haven't got a clue and are unlikely to do a good job of it!!!!!!!

BBC are a damn sight better than NBC in the US. As long as they have all the hockey games on the red button and evening full replays of the skiing I'll be happy.

I genuinely think Britian is doing extremely well as we are the Land of No snow? Unfortunately our top slope styler for the men's can't take part due to "judging errors" in his last world cup, still for 17 he's excellent and may really show the worl what we are capable of in 2018!

You are confusing England with Britain. There are several ski resorts in GB. None in England

An update from Emma Carrick-Anderson who is commentating for the BBC;
| Quote: |
| Holy smokes! Just back from the inspections of both mens and womens DH. Wow, the mens is unbelievable. Even Graham who did the film run said it was BRUTAL, bumpy, unbelievably icy and soooo steep. This is one serious DH and Bode Miller loves it! The womens is great too but not quite as iced up. Although not quite as dramatic, there are still some amazing parts with awesome names like Launch pad and Devils spine. Not doing any BBC till Sunday though. So enjoy the opening ceremony and get ready for some seriously crazy speed action. My children are DEFINITELY not ever doing Downhill!!! |

You know it makes sense.

Really enjoyed the boarding slopestyle yesterday. Blimey, how bl00dy brave are they? The mens tricks were far more impressive than the women's, but the commentators say the women only perform when they have to.
The commentary style was unique to say the lest, they should get nominated for a comedy BAFTA

How about Yad Moss? With 120m of vertical and 1/2 a mile of piste what's not to like? (apart from the absence of snow)

8 qualified yesterday but only 4 tomorrow so much better to get in yesterday.

So, I go of an evening to the BBC to watch the best bits of the days skiing - and there's not much to see. Is that right? There are one-line updates, and a few clips but not many videos. Am I looking for skiing in all the wrong places?
