G'day (I'm not sure what time zone you're in SCO) everyone. To pick up on SCO's question, the Power Play is when the 2 pre-set stones are placed to one side of the ice sheet to leave the centre open. The first player can then either draw to that side to lie shot or lie short on the centre line to guard the centre. Normally the pre-set stones are placed on the centre line. Each team has one Power Play per game, but they don't have to use it.
GB set themselves up for their Semi-final by beating USA 8-4 early this morning. In the same session, Italy beat Canada 8-7, allowing Sweden to claim the 4th Qualification place. The Semi-finals are Norway v GB and Italy v Sweden, both at 12.05. Due to my own commitments, I won't be back on today, so best of luck to GB. Come on!!!
Despite what the Olympic website showed yesterday, the Alpine Skiing went ahead as planned. Alex Tilley finished 22nd in the Women's Giant Slalom over 5 seconds behind the winner. Ireland's Jack Gower finished 31st in the Men's Downhill just under 5 seconds behind the winner.
In the Women's Freeski Big Air Qualifiers, Kirsty Muir finished 7th and will feature in the Finals tomorrow at 02.00. Katie Summerhayes finished in an infuriating 13th place and misses out. In the Men's Event, James Woods finished 30th following 3 poor Qualification runs.
Ellia Smeding finished in 27th place in the Women's 1500m Speed Skating where Ireen Wust of Netherlands won a record 5 Gold Medals in 5 Games.
