Kirsty Muir just misses a medal in snowboarding.

Slopestyle skiing rather than snowboard. Less than half a point from bronze.

Shame.
It is a brilliant event.

I harbour a pathalogical contempt of snowboarders from my own experiences on the slopes, showy twats that in 80% of cases can't even use them, the slopes littered with Jamiroquai wannabees.

Twats.

She was unlucky I think, nothing much to separate her and the Canadian who got 3rd but fair play to the latter getting up after a horrible crash on her 2nd round and delivering a medal winning final run.

It's definitely one of the better events though, I know people don't like the judge scored events in a lot of ways but stuff like this adds a lot to the games.

I don't have any strong views on skiers v snowboarders as I've never been on a skiing holiday. I guess I'm not middle-class enough.

Snowboarders are in the way - that's all you need to know.

Cool clothes and bandannas, though. And a snowboard just looks chic.
Sadly, I’ve fallen over every time I’ve tried to ride one!

It’s not looking great for the curling mixed doubles GB team.
Sweden leading 8 - 3 and it’s the 7th end.

Very disappointing in the curling. They'd been so good in the Round Robin, but didn't go for them against Sweden

The Kiwi, Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, could still spoil her medal chances.

Yeah, she's already down to fourth.
