Super Saturday strikes again!
I suppose I'd better mention the curlers, even though the GB Men were gubbed 5-11 by Korea, to hand them their first win, with an end to go. They have been generally playing well as a team, but even that deserted them this morning. Sweden beat Canada by 5-2 to remain unbeaten after 5 games.
The GB Women were not much better, beating Denmark 7-6 in the first session, but also losing to Korea 4-7 by losing the last 3 ends after leading by 2 shots after 7 ends. The Women have definitely been below par, never looking to have that extra competitive edge required. Canada finally got their act together by thrashing USA 11-3 after 7 ends and the Swedish Women also remain unbeaten.
The Women play Sweden tomorrow with the Men facing Italy. Realistically, both teams need to win all their remaining games to qualify for the Semi-finals or hope for a similar failure by the teams around them.
Following on from Super Saturday, James Woods is our best bet for a medal tomorrow in the Men's Slopestyle Skiing at 01.15am in the Heats and hopefully 04.15am in the Final.
