Key events
Scheib from Austria is another with a chance of taking the lead as she canes it down the bottom section of the course, but another who can’t go clean, going far too wide on a gate, and slots in fifth, 0.39 off the lead. There are going to be a lot of these in with a chance of a medal in the second run, coming up at 12.30.
Also going on:
In the curling, GB now lead Germany 4-2; in the women’s giant, Thea Louise Stjernesund or Norway and Sara Hector of Sweden lead with 1:03.97, but Moltzan of USA is flying down … but mistakes on the lower half means she must be content with fourth; Mikaela Shiffrin of USA, the consensus goat, is third, 0.28s off the lead.
