Key events
Durr of Germany looks good on as she weaves down the giant slalom course, and this is very good; she finishes 0.34 off the lead in second, and behind her Goggia of Italy also puts down something serious, news of the line to take wending its way back up to the top of the course. She slots in third, 0.46 off the lead, and now Brignone is in sight, while Shiffirin is seventh.
in run one of the monobob, Laura Nolte of Germany leads the first run, with Nicoll of GB 14th, 1.10 off the lead.
Brignone smashed her leg at the end of last season, fought her way back, and now look!
Goodness me, she’s almost perfect as she nears the end, and 1:03.23 is her time! That puts her 0.74 up on Colturi, Hector and Stjernesund, plus a whole 1.02 on Shiffrin!
This downhill course is so sporting. Gasienica Daniel of Poland is doing nicely, like the others before her, then makes a huge error lower down and is 10th. But have look! Brignone, champ in super g, is taking this run to school! She is killing it!
Britain now lead Germany 5-2 in the men’s curling, all over them. Elsewhere, Italy are up 5-4 on Norway and USA 4-2 on Sweden.
All this talk of Hector…
In the curling, okaying the fifth end, GB still lead Germany 4-2, playing the fifth, while Valerie Grenier of Canada, whose had a bad Games so far but love a giant slalom, whizzes down the course and this is a decent run; she goes fifth, 0.29 off the lead, but Colturi, who chose Albania not Italy, is killing it! She’s in with a chance of taking the lead … and she finishes in 1:03.97! A third to record that time, and she leads alongside Stjernesund and Hector.
Scheib from Austria is another with a chance of taking the lead as she canes it down the bottom section of the course, but another who can’t go clean, going far too wide on a gate, and slots in fifth, 0.39 off the lead. There are going to be a lot of these in with a chance of a medal in the second run, coming up at 12.30.
Also going on:
In the curling, GB now lead Germany 4-2; in the women’s giant, Thea Louise Stjernesund or Norway and Sara Hector of Sweden lead with 1:03.97, but Moltzan of USA is flying down … but mistakes on the lower half means she must be content with fourth; Mikaela Shiffrin of USA, the consensus goat, is third, 0.28s off the lead.
