The Skeleton was good to watch today, dare devils. Australia has three medals, three more than i expected, we will probably do better in the ballet type events.

One in the half-pipe, and one in the aerials. Morris to yet be the remaining gold medal chance. Scott James deserved more than his bronze medal.

He is toast, or Kim will make him Chief Strategist in the Army as a hero, he should put his skates on and start defecting.

Australia doing well in the medal tally compared to North Korea.

TO most families, a bronze medal at age 33 — the oldest ever for an alpine skier — would be considered a proud accomplishment, but apparently not to Lindsey Vonn’s father.

In an emotional third-place finish in her likely final women’s downhill Wednesday, Vonn fought tears while explaining just how special this medal was to her after finishing behind Italy’s Sofia Goggia and Norway’s Ragnhild Mowinckel.

FOLLOW ALL THE NEWS FROM PYEONGCHANG BELOW

“I wanted to win so much for him,” Vonn, referring to her late grandfather, Don Kildow, said after the race. “But I still think I made him proud. Our family never gives up, and I kept working hard and I’m really proud of this medal. I know he is, too.”

Her pride in the event wasn’t replicated by her father, Alan Kildow.

“It’s great skiing, but it reminds me of something that Buddy Werner used to say,” Kildow told USA Today Sports, referring to a US skier from the 1950s. “He said there’s two places in the race, first and last, and I only want one of them.”

what a horrible thing to say..

just being there deserves a medal in my book....these athletes seem fearless...

The snowboards look more at home in the half pipe rather than skis flapping around, I am waiting for the downhill toboggan race.

Snowboards and skiis require a different skill set. Otherwise, they would integrate the snowboards and skiis into much the same events.

Really? I thought that you were talking about skiing down the slopes, crashing into a heap, and then turning into an enlarging snowball as you roll towards the resort.

A few years ago in western Qld, there were news reports of moderate snowfall. It has come close to snowing around this town. But conditions are never quite right for snow. I have been up to the mountains during the middle of winter, one year. The humid night did have enough moisture to make it look like it was lightly snowing.

To be more specific, cricket is another game that Americans play that I like. But cricket is not a game that is recognised as a national sport of America. Much like baseball is not a recognised national sport of Australia. Ice hockey is fairly well known in America. It does not matter that it was a national sport like baseball in America. Just that the United States plays it quite widespread.
