Italy steal first end.

Has Jennifer used up all her miracle throws early doors?

Well, that was a red-white-red sensation in the skiing (Women's Team Combination). Even the Austrian commentators were writing off the slalom portion against better rivals like Aicher and Shiffrin, after the tremendous and unexpected downhill performance from Rädler.

…..the two of them look to have peaked too early.

Sadly seems that way. So good in the round robin and then pretty poor in the knockouts which is a shame.

Step aside and let the colonies show you how this curling thing is done

The commentators for the snowboarding: cackling and whooping away in commentary using words like 'rad', 'stoked' etc etc...I thought they were in their 20s with braids or a modern mullet - and then we see them being interviewed in their commentary booth and they're both baldy and about 50!

It does feel like these boarders are speaking a different language at times. Each to their own and all that. But it did find it a little odd that one of the commentators refered to one of the athletes mothers as 'mom'.

Great performance! As a German living in Austria, this was a good podium!
