Four of the wheelchair curling team that claimed bronze at Sochi 2014 will return for Great Britain at March's Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang. Skip Aileen Neilson will contest her third Games, with Gregor Ewan and Robert McPherson their second. Fellow Scot Angie Malone, 52, has competed at every Winter Paralympics since the sport made its debut in 2006. Hugh Nibloe will make his debut after appearing on the Paralympic Inspiration Programme in Sochi.
Team GB have set targets of between 4 and 10 medals for the Olympics and 6 and 12 for the Paralympics. I'd expect around the lower end of the scale for both teams, but hope for more.
On the cynically timed placatory offer from North Korea, South Korean Vice unification minister Chun Hae-sung told journalists: "The North side proposed dispatching a high-level delegation, National Olympic Committee delegation, athletes, supporters, art performers, observers, a taekwondo demonstration team and journalists" to the Games. Expect a lot of identically dressed, handclapping, smiling puppets.
