Good news to wake up to. Pleased to see Finland beat the Russians in ice hockey too.

Chuffed to bits for Eve. She’s had to take a really hard route to this; hip surgery after the last Winter Olympics, 8th in the Worlds last year meant she had to pre-qualify for this one with a new team and had to win her last 5 games in a row to get through pre-qualifying.

I like to think it was beating my team in the final of a competition in Perth 9 years ago that set her off on this journey. 🤣🤣

Yes, well done Team Scotland!

I thought she was crediting Alex McLeish post-victory but now I realise who she meant.

Incredible watching the downhill with someone following the non sighted competitor at speed, yelling instructions about when to turn!
