But it must be good it has "Super" in the name!

Not sure what you are saying?  Super-G is not slalom, it is downhill with gates.   They usually use a slightly shorter version of the downhill course.

Super G is a slalom. "Super Giant Slalom".

A large number of the failures were because of a jump that, per the commentators, the competitors were not used to dealing with.

IMO, there's no need for Super-G. It seems a "false" event, neither a proper slalom or a proper downhill.

The word slalom merely means there are gates.   Super-G is essentially a downhill race with gates, usually on the same downhill course.   There are very few Super-G specialists, most the competitors are from the downhill field.

I don't disagree with it being neither a slalom or a downhill, it is definitely caught between the two disciplines - but I think there is room for it.

Loved that snowboard racing they had on earlier, proper mad that.

Did you see the two clash just before the jump and then basically fall of the edge of a cliff face ?

Bobsleigh, featuring Britain and Jamaica, due to start at 16.15ish.

Do Jamaica have a bobsled team?

[cdbearsfan]

Nuff people say, you know they can't believe... Jamaica they have a bobsleigh team.

[PeterWithesShin]

Do any of them look like Yul Brynner?

Did the Brazilians do any better than they did in their training run ?

Is there a hole in the track at about the 36 second mark ?

[PeterWithesShin]

After all that we were joint 21st, and I think Jamaica were last.

Not bad for Team GB considering the brakeman was a last minute injury replacement.

Yep, I saw that.

Amazing they walked away from it.
