In women's ice hockey, one of the groups has five teams. The top five qualify for the quarter-finals.

Yay, the speed skating has started. Probably the only Olympic discipline I'd have a shot at (if I could ice-skate).

How can you even ski with a ruptured ACL? Sounds mad!

Lindsey Vonn is a bit of a warrior,  come back from a complete knee rebuild to win world cups and chased the last Olymoic dream.  Watched and met her in Val D'Isere just before Christmas and was engaging with time for everyone.  Such a shame, but a very real risk that might happen today.  There is also the cynical view that she was on a $200k Olympic appearance bonus win or lose, but I'm sticking with warrior....

Always nice to hear that about legendary sportspeople. Hulk Hogan was the same at Miami Airport.

My cynical view is that she could see the $$$ for the inevitable Netflix film.
