Women's cross country. Silver place - Sweden - FELL OVER...... *TWICE*..... THEN FELL OVER AGAIN AND LOST! HER! SKI!..... the technician who brings her a replacement ski ALSO FALLS OVER!... then she came back from 8th to get silver. Holy moly.

That is quite something.

@TheBreadmonkey Sounds quite slippery up there. I’d stay in the bar and warm myself by the fire if it were me.

- Not competing?

- No, I was banned by the IOC for wearing a helmet depicting my colleagues who died in the war. What about you?

- Oh, I just didn’t fancy it this morning.

@jmax @TheBreadmonkey You should always warm up for it with an Olympic breakfast.

@TheBreadmonkey What's most interesting to me is that the slick course was blamed on "mild temperatures and rain." I wonder if Climate change has now made the Winter Olympics a gamble? You can't depend on freezing temperatures anymore, in places where you normally would have before.

@kimlockhartga Ski stations at lower altitudes in the Alps have been closing hand over fist over the past decades.

@davep @TheBreadmonkey yeah. I'm wondering how many places are left where you can count on ski conditions for the entire Winter?

What the heck? Was the rest of the pack piled up in a multiple skier accident?
