Hello and welcome to the Today
at the Games and this | 0:01:00 | 0:01:03 | |
was a record breaking day. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
10 gold medals on offer,
the most ever for a single day | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
in Winter Olympic history. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
And we'll show them all.
Join us for the ride. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:16 | |
The Rocket has lift-off. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
Dave Ryding started skiing

To analyse and enjoy it all, we have
2010 skeleton Olympic champion, Amy | 0:01:58 | 0:02:04 | |
Williams, four time British ski
champion turned ski cross racer Ed | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
Drake and two time Olympic
snowboarder Ben Kilner. I'm going to | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
start with a quiz question. Can you
name the three alpine skiers who | 0:02:11 | 0:02:16 | |
have won three gold medals at one
games? | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
Austrian Toni Sailer took the triple
at the 1956 Olympics in Cortina. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
Very good. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
12 years later, French
great Jean Claude Killy | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
dominated in Grenoble. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:30 | |
Absolutely on home soil. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
16 years ago, Croatian
Janica Kostelic did | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
the threepeat in Salt Lake City. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
That is why you are the experts. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:40 | |
Marvellous Marcel Hirscher already
has two golds in the bag. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
Could he get his third
in his favourite event, the slalom? | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
Marcel Hirscher still in front. My
word, Marcel Hirscher on a mission! | 0:03:01 | 0:03:07 | |
The greatest of all time. Marcel
Hirscher is an Olympic champion. He | 0:03:07 | 0:03:14 | |
is in a different league. Is the
giant slalom Olympic champion! | 0:03:14 | 0:03:23 | |
He'll be the man to beat. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:24 | |
Going for GB will be
Dave The Rocket Ryding who has lived | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
up to his nickname with a rapid rise
in the slalom standings. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
He's claimed six top ten finishes
in last season's World Cup. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
And he finished second to Marcel
Hirscher in Kitzbuhel. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
Let's see if the lad
who learnt his craft on the plastic | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
slopes of Pendle can win our first
Alpine medal, | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
or should it be our second? | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
or should it be our second? | 0:03:46 | 0:03:47 | |
Today is the men's slalom. Today is
an opportunity to right a wrong. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:54 | |
Today, we have a medal contender.
Dave Ryding rewrite the record | 0:03:54 | 0:03:59 | |
books! 16 years ago, we had a medal
contender, Alan Baxter. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:06 | |
books! 16 years ago, we had a medal
contender, Alan Baxter. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
Alan Baxter from Great Britain wins
the Olympic slalom bronze medal. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:14 | |
Great Britain's first-ever medal on
snow. But it was cruelly taken away. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:20 | |
British skier Alain Baxter has been
stripped of the bronze medal. Baxter | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
used a nasal inhaler bought in
America with the same packaging as | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
the ones in the UK but different
ingredients, one of which was on the | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
banned list. There was no
performance enhancing benefit. That | 0:04:32 | 0:04:38 | |
bronze was Alan Baxter's. So today,
Dave Ryding has an opportunity. For | 0:04:38 | 0:04:48 | |
an Olympic medal for him and to
redress the balance. Slalom is | 0:04:48 | 0:04:53 | |
contested over two runs with the
Times added together to determine | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
the winner. Norwegian Henrik
Kristoffersen is currently ranked | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
second in the world and showed his
skills in the first run. Smooth | 0:04:59 | 0:05:04 | |
skiing on the steep and brilliant
acceleration across the flat, | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
setting a time for the rest of the
field to chase. Marcel Hirscher | 0:05:07 | 0:05:12 | |
might be the best Austrian ski racer
of all time but he proved today that | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
even he is human. Wonderful ability
to recover but not today. Marcel | 0:05:16 | 0:05:23 | |
Hirscher will not win a third gold.
Dave Ryding is wearing bib 13 but | 0:05:23 | 0:05:30 | |
ignored the possible hoodoo to ski a
smooth if slightly cautious run to | 0:05:30 | 0:05:33 | |
finish 13th. How do you feel up to
the first run? I know you felt | 0:05:33 | 0:05:38 | |
anxious going down. Happily made it
down and happy he's happy so we will | 0:05:38 | 0:05:43 | |
see about the second one. He won't
the visitor after the race so what | 0:05:43 | 0:05:48 | |
will a good result be? I know he
will be happy with top ten. I'm | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
going to say that, hopefully better
but you never know with slalom. In | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
the second run, the top 30 go in
reverse order, Britain's Laurie | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
Taylor skiing superbly on his
Olympic debut, finishing 26th | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
overall. Dave Riding, the rocket. A
slightly, ever so slightly cautious | 0:06:03 | 0:06:12 | |
first leg from the man who learned
his trade on the upturned | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
toothbrushes of the Pendle dry slope
in Lancashire. But now he moves into | 0:06:16 | 0:06:22 | |
the favourite part of the course for
the British number one, the Rocket | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
Stuttgart is to get acceleration on
the flat. -- starts to get. This is | 0:06:26 | 0:06:31 | |
where he's at his best and he is
opening up a significant lead over | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
the Norwegian. Dave Ryding, skiing
for Gold medal position in the | 0:06:34 | 0:06:39 | |
Olympic slalom. It is his for the
moment! Not sure how long the time | 0:06:39 | 0:06:45 | |
will hold but he's in the lead. He
got the green at the mosquito that | 0:06:45 | 0:06:51 | |
Conservative at the top then
switched it up and went for it on | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
the flat. Was flying from steeped
flat. | 0:06:53 | 0:07:00 | |
flat. His older brother, Mario, or
the Olympic champion four years ago, | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
it has never happened that brothers
have won Olympic gold medals in | 0:07:03 | 0:07:08 | |
successive games. His advantage over
Dave Ryding was half a second. Now | 0:07:08 | 0:07:16 | |
it is a quarter of a second. Michael
Matt, racing through the final few | 0:07:16 | 0:07:21 | |
terms, has he done enough to go into
gold for Austria? I think so, he | 0:07:21 | 0:07:26 | |
has. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:34 | |
has. Ramon Zenhaeusern, the tallest
man in the race. He is not built | 0:07:34 | 0:07:40 | |
like a typical slalom skier but he
has got incredible skills from edge | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
to edge, so fast. Putting in some
fine turns. Now he's in the red zone | 0:07:44 | 0:07:50 | |
for the first time. Six hundredths
of a second but back to green now. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:55 | |
He is giving Michael Matt a real
scare. This is a lovely finish from | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
Ramon Zenhaeusern. He is carving it
up and he is skiing into top spot. A | 0:07:59 | 0:08:06 | |
new leader, here. Ramon Zenhaeusern
uses his height as they get out of | 0:08:06 | 0:08:13 | |
jail card. If he runs late in the
line, you can just throw his legs | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
out and make it inside the gate. And
boy, can he work the skis on the | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
flat, he puts so much energy into it
which is why he is currently in the | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
lead. Clement Noel, getting ready to
go. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:32 | |
go. 800th of a second, his advantage
over Ramon Zenhaeusern after the | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
first run, it was a sensational run
first up for the young man from Val | 0:08:35 | 0:08:40 | |
deserve. Seventh after the first
run. Now he is starting to motor. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:47 | |
Onto the flat. Finding his rhythm,
one hundredth of a second in front | 0:08:47 | 0:08:53 | |
at the last bit, this is going to go
down to the wire, Little mistake, | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
six gates from home, now he drives
for the finishing line and he is | 0:08:57 | 0:09:01 | |
third, Clement Noel. Not enough to
move Ramon Zenhaeusern or Michael | 0:09:01 | 0:09:08 | |
Matt. Victor Muffat-Jeandet is
ready. Sixth in the giant slalom, | 0:09:08 | 0:09:16 | |
the bronze medallist in the Alpine
combined. He's had an outstanding | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
Olympics. Can't afford any mistakes
now and when he has cleared the | 0:09:19 | 0:09:25 | |
steep, he's going to have to open
the throttle and push and drive | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
through the final few terms if he is
to overturn Ramon Zenhaeusern's | 0:09:29 | 0:09:34 | |
lead. Ramon Zenhaeusern has been
omnipresent in the leaders in | 0:09:34 | 0:09:38 | |
closure. Nobody can move him. Victor
Muffat-Jeandet is the next drive. Is | 0:09:38 | 0:09:43 | |
this quick enough? Can he beat
1:39.30 three. Not quite. There will | 0:09:43 | 0:09:51 | |
be a medal for Ramon Zenhaeusern.
Now it is down to Andre Myhrer and | 0:09:51 | 0:09:59 | |
Henrik is De Vos in to sort things
out. Andre Myhrer's lead is | 0:09:59 | 0:10:04 | |
significant, three quarters of a
second over Ramon Zenhaeusern. He | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
loves the pressure of competition.
That is the first mistake, it might | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
not catch up with him until the next
intermediate. One or two wide turns, | 0:10:11 | 0:10:16 | |
his advantage is three quarters of a
second, last time the clock stopped. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:21 | |
Next it. At around 1.25 and it has
been reduced to a third of a second. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:26 | |
A mistake at the top catching up
with Andre Myhrer's time. He is | 0:10:26 | 0:10:31 | |
starting to accelerate through the
final few turns. Can he be the | 0:10:31 | 0:10:35 | |
first, I had a Ramon Zenhaeusern? He
can! Gold medal position for Andre | 0:10:35 | 0:10:42 | |
Myhrer. He can finish in no worse
than silver. He's incredibly | 0:10:42 | 0:10:47 | |
physically strong and he was able to
transfer the power onto the skis. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:52 | |
Definitely the battle of the Giants,
he comes down in the lead and really | 0:10:52 | 0:10:57 | |
deserves it, neither lovable giant.
Kristofferson is next and he will | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
use technique rather than strength.
Henrik Kristoffersen staring out of | 0:11:01 | 0:11:08 | |
the start heart, visualising what
lies ahead, the bronze medallist | 0:11:08 | 0:11:13 | |
four years ago in Sochi. His
advantage over Andre Myhrer is two | 0:11:13 | 0:11:19 | |
tenths of a second. Fast start for
Henrik Kristoffersen, one of the | 0:11:19 | 0:11:25 | |
smaller, lighter men. Oh, he's down!
It's over for Henrik Kristoffersen! | 0:11:25 | 0:11:31 | |
Andre Myra is the Olympic slalom
champion! Well, who would have | 0:11:31 | 0:11:38 | |
thought it, the two big favourites,
Marcel Hirscher goes out on the | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
first run and then in almost exactly
the same place, Henrik Kristoffersen | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
out on the second. Such a surprise
because he's normally so visited, we | 0:11:44 | 0:11:49 | |
were looking for the Scandinavian
battle but you can see the Swedes | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
going wild because Andrei has only
gone and done it, how incredible. -- | 0:11:52 | 0:11:56 | |
Andre. Who would have picked this
podium. I knew it would be tough | 0:11:56 | 0:12:03 | |
because Marcel and Henrik have been
really outstanding this year. It is | 0:12:03 | 0:12:07 | |
hard to beat them. But I knew that
this hill could fit me pretty good. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:11 | |
So happy I pulled it off and going
to celebrate. Top ten in the | 0:12:11 | 0:12:19 | |
Olympics. I'm not complaining | 0:12:19 | 0:12:20 | |
to celebrate. Top ten in the
Olympics. I'm not complaining about | 0:12:20 | 0:12:21 | |
the top ten, solid day. I made a
couple of mistakes. I know I could | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
have had a bit more in me but at the
same time it's the Olympics and | 0:12:25 | 0:12:28 | |
everyone is feeling the same thing
probably. Ninth is respectful. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:33 | |
Ed is our Alpine expert and you know
Dave. Do you thing he will in time | 0:12:33 | 0:12:37 | |
think that was a missed opportunity
or be pleased he finished in the top | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
ten? A bit of both, he will be happy
with the top ten which is an amazing | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
result in itself but when he looks
back, especially with the two big | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
guns not finishing, he will wish
that he risks a bit more. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
Particularly on the second run? | 0:12:53 | 0:12:55 | |
that he risks a bit more.
Particularly on the second run? I | 0:12:55 | 0:12:55 | |
think so, a bit of both, he risked a
bit more on the second run but for | 0:12:55 | 0:13:00 | |
him, it was 90%, a tiny bit safe and
you can't win a medal skiing | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
anything other than 100%. -- 98%. He
negotiated 126 gates cleanly, which | 0:13:04 | 0:13:12 | |
Henrik is De Vos and an even more
surprisingly, even though they were | 0:13:12 | 0:13:16 | |
both pricing, Marcel Hirscher did
not. Talk about Dave's technique and | 0:13:16 | 0:13:21 | |
the difficulty of skiing slalom on
this kind of snow a bit. He skied | 0:13:21 | 0:13:27 | |
very stable, didn't make many
mistakes, had a couple of line | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
errors but the snow itself is
aggressive because it is artificial. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
What we are used to in the World Cup
is injected pistes. What does that | 0:13:33 | 0:13:39 | |
mean? Injection is a huge bar about
three meters long and it has needles | 0:13:39 | 0:13:46 | |
that go into the snow and it hooks
up to a fire hydrant kind of thing | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
and it pumps water into the snow to
make it freeze so it is like skiing | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 | |
on glass, it is ice, we don't race
on snow, it's ice and it is so that | 0:13:53 | 0:13:58 | |
it is more even across the field.
It's a bit quicker and the guys tend | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
to like it more. Marcel Hirscher
particularly likes injected snow but | 0:14:02 | 0:14:06 | |
he did not like this and he was
negative about it before the race | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
even started. For him not to
complete his first run and not to | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
finish the race is how rare? Really
rare, the last time he did not | 0:14:13 | 0:14:18 | |
finish the slalom at the World Cup
was in February 2016. This guy does | 0:14:18 | 0:14:24 | |
not not finish, he always finishes,
he is so good at recovering. He gets | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
pitched over the front and his skis
bite which is a characteristic of | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
artificial snow but he had it in his
head, he wrote about how the IOC | 0:14:31 | 0:14:35 | |
said the piste would be injected and
it obviously wasn't so he had it in | 0:14:35 | 0:14:40 | |
his mind already. Andre Myra, the
first suite to win the slalom since | 0:14:40 | 0:14:45 | |
1980. -- Andre Marriner. He is 35 so
was it a shock or would you have had | 0:14:45 | 0:14:52 | |
him in the top three? It's not a
shock because he is very consistent, | 0:14:52 | 0:14:57 | |
he was so stable top to bottom, made
a couple of mistakes but gets the | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
skis running really cleanly. He's
not been at it in classic slalom | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
this year but he has won a city
event and he is always there or | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
thereabouts and when it is a bit
flatter, his strength, he can drive | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
the ski and it was not a surprise.
Dave Ryding took huge heart from | 0:15:12 | 0:15:18 | |
that because he will be 35 about in
four years' time so if Andre Myhrer | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
can do it, so can he. Let's head off
two Mr T's favourite sport. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:33 | |
FUNKY MUSIC | 0:15:33 | 0:15:38 | |
I pity the fool the! Everybody's
watching the curling and everyone is | 0:15:40 | 0:15:44 | |
trying it. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:47 | |
After losing their final round robin
match against USA yesterday, | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
the British men's curling team,
led by skip Kyle Smith, | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
had a win or bust tie-breaker
against Switzerland. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
Win and they progress
to the semifinals. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
Lose and they are out
of the Olympics. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
Here's Paddy Gearey. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:06 | |
Dean Smith had taken the treacherous
path. The thinnest ice and the last | 0:16:07 | 0:16:14 | |
chance. Yesterday progress to the
semifinals was blocked by the | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
American stone and now the curling
family had come to see them take on | 0:16:17 | 0:16:22 | |
Switzerland. They beat them once in
the round robin but they do so again | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
and they get through. Everything was
rolling into place... Well done, | 0:16:25 | 0:16:32 | |
Kyle Smith! Two lovely stones to
finish! 4-1 up and it got tighter. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:38 | |
At the end of the eighth they were
about in control... Stop there... | 0:16:38 | 0:16:45 | |
Don't panic! Good, I was panicking!
5-4 and they had their crucial last | 0:16:45 | 0:16:51 | |
shot in the final end. Then, it
happened. The nightmare at nine... | 0:16:51 | 0:16:58 | |
The yellow is our only shot. The
idea was to give them two and allow | 0:16:58 | 0:17:03 | |
no way through. I don't know about
that shot... There is still a hole | 0:17:03 | 0:17:10 | |
through there. It looks as though
Benoit Schwarz has got through the | 0:17:10 | 0:17:17 | |
gap... This could be good! My
goodness! A stunning shot. They | 0:17:17 | 0:17:25 | |
spotted it, he played it. That may
well be it for Great Britain. The | 0:17:25 | 0:17:31 | |
end. Effectively if not quite
literally, the Brits staggered, into | 0:17:31 | 0:17:37 | |
the tenth but the takeout was
coming. Switzerland get the win and | 0:17:37 | 0:17:42 | |
go through to the semifinals.
Disappointment for Kyle Smith and | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
his team. Great Britain are out. We
came to our first Olympics and gave | 0:17:46 | 0:17:52 | |
it our best shot. We made the
play-offs and in the end we had a | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
good game today but it wasn't to be,
sadly. There is plenty to look | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
forward to going forward. We need to
take some time and reflect on the | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
experience. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:09 | |
STUDIO: You could see from their
faces and hear it in their voices | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
and their body language, how upset
the whole team was to be out the | 0:18:13 | 0:18:17 | |
Olympics. They finished in fifth.
Rhona is with me, it could have been | 0:18:17 | 0:18:23 | |
so different? They started so well,
they were in control and playing out | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
their skins. They were controlling
the game, 4-1 up at one point. For | 0:18:27 | 0:18:33 | |
it all to change, in one end, it is
absolutely gutting. The boys will | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
play that end for evermore. What
other options did Kyle Smith have | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
and what was he trying to do? He was
basically saying, Switzerland, I | 0:18:41 | 0:18:48 | |
will give you two because I cannot
play anything that will improve the | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
situation. If I guard, you can have
your two. That was a great position | 0:18:51 | 0:18:58 | |
to be in. His guard just over cold.
By millimetres. -- it over curled. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:14 | |
But with Benoit Schwarz, how good a
shot did he make here? It was | 0:19:14 | 0:19:20 | |
awesome, unfortunately, if Kyle had
been a couple of metres towards the | 0:19:20 | 0:19:25 | |
centre line, that shot would not
have been possible for Switzerland | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
and it would have been a different
outcome. The sport is cruel at | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
times. The boys were so close. It is
their best performance of the week. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:38 | |
Stats wise, individually and as a
team. They have fought so hard. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:43 | |
Sadiq ended that way. Tomorrow
morning, at 11 o'clock, Eve Muirhead | 0:19:43 | 0:19:50 | |
and her rink will go on to the ice
for a semifinal game against Sweden. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
What do you want to see? They will
go out firing from the word go. They | 0:19:54 | 0:20:00 | |
want to score big, and keep the game
close. Eve and Anna have had close | 0:20:00 | 0:20:10 | |
games over the years. It will be
tight but Britain in the last few | 0:20:10 | 0:20:15 | |
ends have the edge to stamp their
authority. And go on to win the | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
game. And ultimately? Play Korea in
the final, and then ultimately... | 0:20:19 | 0:20:28 | |
There is a gold medal at stake.
There you go, she said it! | 0:20:28 | 0:20:33 | |
Some history at the Winter Olympics
today. The first ever medals were | 0:20:33 | 0:20:38 | |
awarded in the women's competition
of the big air. Some big names to | 0:20:38 | 0:20:45 | |
look forward to... Including Jamie | 0:20:45 | 0:20:49 | |
Anderson and Anna Gasser. Slopestyle
didn't even exist three years ago | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
but we've come such a long way since
then... The women's big air was only | 0:20:52 | 0:20:58 | |
included three years ago but now it
is on another level... | 0:20:58 | 0:21:05 | |
is on another level... The first big
error Olympic medal will be handed | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
out today. There are 12 women
competing. Including Jamie Anderson, | 0:21:08 | 0:21:14 | |
Spencer O'Brien, Zoi Sadowski
Synnott and the awesome Anna Gasser. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:22 | |
These girls will send it to the
moon. COMMENTATOR: Jamie Anderson is | 0:21:22 | 0:21:29 | |
the most experienced and successful
woman in freestyle snowboarding | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
right now. There are two jumps and
you are not allowed to repeat a | 0:21:33 | 0:21:38 | |
rotation. She goes | 0:21:38 | 0:21:45 | |
rotation. She goes straight in!
Jamie Anderson, just when you think | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
that she might be out of her
depth... That was amazing! Next | 0:21:48 | 0:21:56 | |
in... | 0:21:56 | 0:22:03 | |
in... 16-year-old Reira Iwabuchi
from Japan. One of the most | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
self-motivated people in the
Japanese team. She goes, I want to | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
do this and she works with the
coaches. Wow! That was amazing! I | 0:22:09 | 0:22:22 | |
like that everyone went "Wow!" | 0:22:22 | 0:22:28 | |
like that everyone went "Wow!" From
the 16-year-old to the 31-year-old | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
veteran, Yuka Fujimori. Backside
900. That was so good. Switching to | 0:22:31 | 0:22:40 | |
grab as well. She has got it on
rails, hasn't she? That will score | 0:22:40 | 0:22:46 | |
her well. Especially landing on the
switch. Massive strategy from Jamie | 0:22:46 | 0:22:54 | |
Anderson, she wanted to come out as
you said and put pressure on | 0:22:54 | 0:22:58 | |
everyone. That is what she has done
to Anna Gasser. Dropping in... | 0:22:58 | 0:23:06 | |
Perfect! Could not have done any
better. Run one done, the level is | 0:23:06 | 0:23:14 | |
already high. The atmosphere is
awesome. Probably the best I have | 0:23:14 | 0:23:18 | |
seen at the Olympics so far for me.
COMMENTATOR: Jamie Anderson, putting | 0:23:18 | 0:23:22 | |
so much pressure on everyone with
the frontside flat spin 1080. Very, | 0:23:22 | 0:23:28 | |
very clean. Doing a little dance...
It works for her. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:39 | |
It works for her. A double and a
Coke. How did she hold onto that? | 0:23:39 | 0:23:45 | |
This second run from Anna Gasser
will be critical. The New Zealander, | 0:23:45 | 0:23:55 | |
Zoi Sadowski Synnott, her movement
in the qualifying was beautiful. We | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
will see it again now... Wow! That
was amazing! I love this trick. It | 0:23:58 | 0:24:07 | |
is massive. The switch back 900
scored big for Zoi Sadowski Synnott | 0:24:07 | 0:24:12 | |
there. 92 points. COMMENTATOR: Anna
Gasser, the Austrian stands at the | 0:24:12 | 0:24:18 | |
top of the run for her second jump.
We know that she has the backside | 0:24:18 | 0:24:24 | |
double 1080. We are just about to
see it... | 0:24:24 | 0:24:30 | |
see it... Beautifully lined up! She
storms it! Absolutely stomps it. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:39 | |
That take-off. It was amazing.
Jamie Anderson is in the lead after | 0:24:39 | 0:24:45 | |
that second run. She managed to land
both of her tricks. Anna Gasser | 0:24:45 | 0:24:50 | |
isn't far behind. If she can land
the backside double ten clean and | 0:24:50 | 0:24:55 | |
deeper, she is there. It is all to
play for in the third and final | 0:24:55 | 0:24:59 | |
run... COMMENTATOR: Her first jump
got 90 points, she backed it up with | 0:24:59 | 0:25:06 | |
a 7.2 five. She has the luxury of
really going for it here. We did not | 0:25:06 | 0:25:10 | |
see the little shimmy... | 0:25:10 | 0:25:17 | |
see the little shimmy... Cab... 1080
to the last line! How did she not | 0:25:17 | 0:25:21 | |
explode into 1 million pieces?
Jamie Anderson went massive but | 0:25:21 | 0:25:27 | |
totally wiped out on her third run.
She will not score anything higher | 0:25:27 | 0:25:31 | |
and currently sits in first
position. COMMENTATOR: Having | 0:25:31 | 0:25:38 | |
stomped the double flip and the
switch backside 900, Zoi Sadowski | 0:25:38 | 0:25:42 | |
Synnott drops in... Frontside... No
way! The frontside 1080, nobody has | 0:25:42 | 0:25:53 | |
seen that yet. This is so good to
watch! That could have been it. It | 0:25:53 | 0:25:58 | |
could have been a gold medal. WWE
the pressure is on for Anna Gasser. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:04 | |
Can she go bigger and deeper on the
back ten and stomp it to move into | 0:26:04 | 0:26:09 | |
the gold medal position...
COMMENTATOR: Anderson knows at the | 0:26:09 | 0:26:13 | |
least she has a silver. Only this
woman can move her from the gold | 0:26:13 | 0:26:19 | |
medal position... I'm a little
nervous... OK... Ooh! This is coming | 0:26:19 | 0:26:30 | |
down to the wire! | 0:26:30 | 0:26:36 | |
down to the wire! Anna Gasser landed
it bigger, deeper and cleaner. This | 0:26:37 | 0:26:40 | |
is going to be a good score. Is it
enough for her to get a gold medal? | 0:26:40 | 0:26:47 | |
There it is! She has done it! 96. A
gold medal for Anna Gasser. Well | 0:26:47 | 0:26:54 | |
deserved, what a phenomenal
performance. Brilliant. Anna Gasser, | 0:26:54 | 0:26:59 | |
absolutely nailing her last trick.
She comes away with the first ever | 0:26:59 | 0:27:04 | |
women's big air gold at the
Olympics. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:08 | |
How are you feeling right now? I'm
very happy, very happy for her. How | 0:27:08 | 0:27:15 | |
is mum feeling? It is so good.
Really, I cannot believe it. The | 0:27:15 | 0:27:24 | |
pressure going into the third run,
there was so much on you. What were | 0:27:24 | 0:27:29 | |
you thinking at that point? The good
thing was I already knew I had the | 0:27:29 | 0:27:34 | |
silver and not too much to lose. I
was thinking if I should do my | 0:27:34 | 0:27:38 | |
safety jump again and get a higher
score, but I looked at the crowd and | 0:27:38 | 0:27:42 | |
thought, I'm here to show my best.
I'm going to take the risk and if I | 0:27:42 | 0:27:48 | |
land the jump, I'm going to be in
first. That's what I did and I'm so | 0:27:48 | 0:27:52 | |
happy it worked out. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:56 | |
STUDIO: I love her attitude, that
she didn't have much to lose, stood | 0:27:56 | 0:27:59 | |
at the top of the biggest ramp in
the world. Ed, you | 0:27:59 | 0:28:03 | |
at the top of the biggest ramp in
the world. Ed, you have a question | 0:28:03 | 0:28:05 | |
for then. Yes, when they take off
and you see some of the athletes | 0:28:05 | 0:28:09 | |
beginning rotations before they take
off, do judges look at that? Yes, so | 0:28:09 | 0:28:14 | |
there are three main components to
what the judges are looking for. The | 0:28:14 | 0:28:19 | |
take-off, in the air, and landing.
The take-off, if they "Scrub the | 0:28:19 | 0:28:24 | |
take-off", they go on the down
point. This is the best of the lot. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:30 | |
Anna Gasser's third jump... | 0:28:30 | 0:28:31 | |
point. This is the best of the lot.
Anna Gasser's third jump... This is | 0:28:31 | 0:28:34 | |
her hardest trick. It is so hard to
do that 1080. You are very blind on | 0:28:34 | 0:28:42 | |
your landing. Her back is to be
landing, that's the last thing that | 0:28:42 | 0:28:46 | |
she sees. To see this in lady
snowboarding, and the fact that | 0:28:46 | 0:28:53 | |
slopestyle was hard done by with the
wind, it is so good for female | 0:28:53 | 0:28:58 | |
snowboarding to showcase the sport
in the way it has. How many times | 0:28:58 | 0:29:01 | |
would she have practised that trick?
Hundreds of times, I know that Anna | 0:29:01 | 0:29:07 | |
has had a big problem with injuries.
She's tried these tricks and had big | 0:29:07 | 0:29:12 | |
injuries. She's had to get back on
her feet and obviously getting them | 0:29:12 | 0:29:18 | |
down to perfection. Jamie Anderson
survived the weather the best in the | 0:29:18 | 0:29:24 | |
slopestyle, and here in better
conditions, she was keen to showcase | 0:29:24 | 0:29:29 | |
women's snowboarding. Obviously with
her experience and everything that | 0:29:29 | 0:29:32 | |
she has, she has put down frontside
1080 here. Flat spins, they | 0:29:32 | 0:29:39 | |
generally tend to be a little harder
to control. Technically you are | 0:29:39 | 0:29:44 | |
trying to land and your body is
rotating round. She gets it | 0:29:44 | 0:29:47 | |
absolutely perfect. From her first
run, the judges thought, oh, God, | 0:29:47 | 0:29:56 | |
here we go! It is so different and
it looked so good. I think the big | 0:29:56 | 0:30:00 | |
air is here to stay. I think it is
my favourite. Your favourite event? | 0:30:00 | 0:30:07 | |
Yes! Skeleton, of course, right up
there... But | 0:30:07 | 0:30:11 | |
this is just below! Short track
would have been mine... | 0:30:11 | 0:30:17 | |
It's been two days now since Elise
Christie's Olympic came to an end. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:20 | |
After her disastrous outing
four years ago in Sochi, | 0:30:20 | 0:30:22 | |
she came to Pyeongchang as Britain's
best chance of a medal. | 0:30:22 | 0:30:25 | |
Disqualifications, crashes
and ultimately an injured ankle have | 0:30:25 | 0:30:26 | |
left her empty-handed once again. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:28 | |
She's reflected on her
Games with David McDaid. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:35 | |
As far as I was concerned, I
qualified and I thought it was | 0:30:35 | 0:30:40 | |
unbelievable, I finished in second
place in an Olympics, top 16, with | 0:30:40 | 0:30:45 | |
ligament damage to my ankle and I
think that shows you how physically | 0:30:45 | 0:30:49 | |
strong I am. After Sochi come he
went on to the World Championships | 0:30:49 | 0:30:53 | |
and you admitted that once you
stopped competing, that is when it | 0:30:53 | 0:30:55 | |
really hit you. How do you think it
will pan out emotionally when you | 0:30:55 | 0:31:00 | |
get back home after this? You know,
I suffered from depression and | 0:31:00 | 0:31:05 | |
everything else at that point. I'm
not in that position now. I still | 0:31:05 | 0:31:08 | |
have a lot of things I want to
achieve. I want to be the first | 0:31:08 | 0:31:12 | |
person to go under 42 seconds, to
win the 500 gold I have not got, I'm | 0:31:12 | 0:31:17 | |
improving, my start is getting
faster. You mentioned after the | 0:31:17 | 0:31:20 | |
1000, straightaway you are talking
about retiring and it just came out! | 0:31:20 | 0:31:30 | |
Oh, really? And then I knew I would
keep going because I would not have | 0:31:30 | 0:31:34 | |
said it if I did not mean it but I
would like to come back and do long | 0:31:34 | 0:31:38 | |
track and short track at the next
games if I can would probably means | 0:31:38 | 0:31:41 | |
sacrificing a short track event
which would probably be the 1500. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:44 | |
But that's OK because I will get
myself so strong, it's not going to | 0:31:44 | 0:31:51 | |
matter. Fighting talk from Elise
Christie, Team GB has various | 0:31:51 | 0:31:55 | |
ambassadors and you are one of them,
what would your advice be to her | 0:31:55 | 0:31:58 | |
now? | 0:31:58 | 0:32:00 | |
She needs to go home, she's already
been through some processes in her | 0:32:00 | 0:32:04 | |
head but when she gets back to the
UK, it will come flooding back but | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
she needs to take time out, of
course, heal, get her injury, back | 0:32:07 | 0:32:13 | |
to walking and doing everything
properly and then go on holiday, | 0:32:13 | 0:32:16 | |
switch off, walk away, go off for
four, five, six months, live, travel | 0:32:16 | 0:32:23 | |
around and do the things you cannot
do as an athlete and then some -- | 0:32:23 | 0:32:26 | |
slowly come back into it. If she
stays for another four years, it is | 0:32:26 | 0:32:30 | |
a long time away, to Beijing. It is
a long time to still have to be | 0:32:30 | 0:32:38 | |
tested so take time out and just
kind of find your life again. Step | 0:32:38 | 0:32:43 | |
out of the bubble? Yeah. | 0:32:43 | 0:32:45 | |
That disqualification in the 1000m
heats on Tuesday denied Elise | 0:32:45 | 0:32:48 | |
the chance of getting into today's
final but as you'll see, | 0:32:48 | 0:32:50 | |
she had a reason to celebrate. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:52 | |
Here's Paddy with a round-up
of the action on the short track. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:58 | |
Without Elise Christie, the world
champion, South Korea were | 0:32:59 | 0:33:03 | |
favourites for the 1000 metres, a
nation 's eyes on Choi Minjeong and | 0:33:03 | 0:33:08 | |
Shim Sukhee but this is a sport
where the plot does not so much | 0:33:08 | 0:33:13 | |
twist as grammar, in the final lap,
both Koreans out, the arena still in | 0:33:13 | 0:33:16 | |
shock as a teenage Dutchwoman won.
Suzanne Schulting can't believe it! | 0:33:16 | 0:33:22 | |
GB Olympic champion! Kim Bui to
Canada got the silver and Arianna | 0:33:22 | 0:33:25 | |
Fontana of Italy got the bronze. The
men's 500 metres was set up as | 0:33:25 | 0:33:30 | |
China's chance to win a long-awaited
gold. The man with the pressure, Wu | 0:33:30 | 0:33:34 | |
Dajing, easily the favourite and as
we know, that can count for little | 0:33:34 | 0:33:38 | |
in this sport but neither of the
Koreans could get near him. Wu | 0:33:38 | 0:33:43 | |
Dajing takes the gold and breaks his
own world record. This was short | 0:33:43 | 0:33:48 | |
track at its most serene and
supreme. | 0:33:48 | 0:33:53 | |
Still to come. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:55 | |
It's Vonn and off for Lindsey. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:59 | |
We'll watch her and Mikaela Shiffrin
in the women's Alpine combined. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:01 | |
A Wise head helps, even in an event
where you probably don't | 0:34:01 | 0:34:04 | |
want to think too much. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:05 | |
And one of the Winter Olympics'
greatest rivalries rumbles on. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:08 | |
USA take on Canada for
women's ice hockey gold. | 0:34:08 | 0:34:15 | |
Vomiting at the top. Erm... I love
24, it's my favourite bit! | 0:34:37 | 0:34:47 | |
After yesterday's emotional
bronze medal for US skiing | 0:34:47 | 0:34:50 | |
superstar Lindsey Vonn,
today's Alpine combined was to be | 0:34:50 | 0:34:52 | |
her last ever Olympic event. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:57 | |
Standing in her way
is Mikaela Shiffrin who took gold | 0:34:57 | 0:34:59 | |
in the giant slalom and then
was only fourth in the slalom. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:02 | |
In the combined event, skiers go
downhill first, then slalom. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:04 | |
The fastest combined times wins.
That's why it's called the combined. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:07 | |
Have I said combined enough? | 0:35:07 | 0:35:14 | |
The Green Bay Packers supporter from
Switzerland, Michelle Gisin, was | 0:35:19 | 0:35:23 | |
chasing a gold medal to match her
sister's in the downhill four years | 0:35:23 | 0:35:26 | |
ago. She set the early pace.
Compatriot and favourite for gold, | 0:35:26 | 0:35:32 | |
reigning world champion Wendy
Holdener, moved ahead of Michelle | 0:35:32 | 0:35:35 | |
Gisin, finishing tenth after the
downhill but with her specialism, | 0:35:35 | 0:35:39 | |
the slalom, still to come. With two
silvers already, Norwegian downhill | 0:35:39 | 0:35:45 | |
specialist Ragnhild Mowinckel was
hoping it would not again be a case | 0:35:45 | 0:35:47 | |
of nearly but not quite. She is the
first to turn on the green light and | 0:35:47 | 0:35:53 | |
ski quicker than Michelle Gisin. All
she has got to do is stay on her | 0:35:53 | 0:35:57 | |
feet, surely? She will do enough to
lead the way, she will be quicker | 0:35:57 | 0:36:02 | |
than 140.14. By three one hundredths
of a second. Michelle Gisin drops to | 0:36:02 | 0:36:09 | |
second place and Ragnhild Mowinckel
leads the way for Norway. What games | 0:36:09 | 0:36:12 | |
she is. Now Lindsey Vonn, the bronze
medallist yesterday in the downhill, | 0:36:12 | 0:36:18 | |
decided that she fancied one more
Olympic race. It could be her last | 0:36:18 | 0:36:22 | |
ever Olympic outing. She needs a
good margin in her favour, posed | 0:36:22 | 0:36:28 | |
downhill, to push for a chance to
ski for the gold medal after slalom | 0:36:28 | 0:36:32 | |
today. She leads the way. 1:39.30
seven. She has burst Ragnhild | 0:36:32 | 0:36:40 | |
Mowinckel down to second and
Michelle Gisin into third. Mikaela | 0:36:40 | 0:36:44 | |
Shiffrin looking for her second gold
of the games, looking to emulate | 0:36:44 | 0:36:49 | |
Marcel Hirscher. Alongside Wendy
Holdener, she is the best slalom | 0:36:49 | 0:36:57 | |
skier on the start this today. Wendy
Holdener is currently ninth. If | 0:36:57 | 0:37:02 | |
Mikaela Shiffrin can get ahead of
her, she has a serious opportunity | 0:37:02 | 0:37:06 | |
to go for gold in the second half of
today's Alpine combined. So far, | 0:37:06 | 0:37:12 | |
reasonable downhill racing from
Mikaela Shiffrin. How does her time | 0:37:12 | 0:37:16 | |
compared to that of Lindsey Vonn?
She is sixth. The way things stand, | 0:37:16 | 0:37:21 | |
with Mikaela Shiffrin's slalom
ability, she is favourite for the | 0:37:21 | 0:37:25 | |
gold. So the real Lindsey Vonn had
turned up for the combined, in | 0:37:25 | 0:37:29 | |
serious form and in the lead by 0.70
four. Ragnhild Mowinckel of Norway | 0:37:29 | 0:37:34 | |
was in second, Michelle Gisin in
third and Mikaela Shiffrin poised to | 0:37:34 | 0:37:38 | |
strike in sixth and the shrewd race
favourite Wendy Holdener ready to | 0:37:38 | 0:37:42 | |
pounce on a medal places. Ten
position in this morning's downhill, | 0:37:42 | 0:37:46 | |
starting the second run with a lead
of 0.5 seconds over Petra Vlhova and | 0:37:46 | 0:37:51 | |
now she is nearly done more than 1.5
seconds in front, and Wendy Holdener | 0:37:51 | 0:37:56 | |
is getting after this one. She is
going to raise the bar and throw | 0:37:56 | 0:38:00 | |
down the challenge for the rest of
them. 0.65 in front. Mikaela | 0:38:00 | 0:38:08 | |
Shiffrin, the Olympic giant slalom
champion, on the hunt for her second | 0:38:08 | 0:38:11 | |
gold medal today, finished outside
the medals in the slalom. She has | 0:38:11 | 0:38:16 | |
been up on this hill, training on
this track, putting in the miles. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:20 | |
She begins with an advantage 0.76
and that is more less maintained. | 0:38:20 | 0:38:26 | |
0.71 over Wendy Holdener. Mikaela
Shiffrin going up through the gears, | 0:38:26 | 0:38:31 | |
0.66, she has lost a further five
hundredths, can't afford any | 0:38:31 | 0:38:36 | |
mistakes now, McKerracher ring
because Wendy Holdener was mighty | 0:38:36 | 0:38:41 | |
quick on the bottom of the course
and Mikaela Shiffrin in the red zone | 0:38:41 | 0:38:44 | |
for the first time, Wendy Holdener
with a combined time of 2:22.30 | 0:38:44 | 0:38:48 | |
four. Mikaela Shiffrin is faster by
0.40 seven. A lightning finish from | 0:38:48 | 0:38:55 | |
Mikaela Shiffrin. She leads the way.
Michelle Gisin's Lee Bevan Mikaela | 0:38:55 | 0:39:01 | |
Shiffrin is 1.21. She is on her way,
Michelle Gisin, silver medallist in | 0:39:01 | 0:39:09 | |
the Alpine combined at the World
Championships. -- lead over Mikaela | 0:39:09 | 0:39:12 | |
Shiffrin. She finished behind Wendy
Holdener. It was a Swiss one-two on | 0:39:12 | 0:39:18 | |
that day. She's holding it together
nicely, Michelle Gisin, she's a good | 0:39:18 | 0:39:23 | |
all-rounder, and occasional slalom
skier. She's had a top ten in slalom | 0:39:23 | 0:39:26 | |
in the World Cup this season in
Vermont, right at the start of the | 0:39:26 | 0:39:31 | |
campaign. She's doing enough,
surely, to deny Mikaela Shiffrin | 0:39:31 | 0:39:35 | |
with almost a full second still in
hand as the light snow begins to | 0:39:35 | 0:39:41 | |
fall. Michelle Gisin is in gold for
Switzerland! That may be enough to | 0:39:41 | 0:39:48 | |
give her the Olympic title. Yes!
Ragnhild Mowinckel has had an | 0:39:48 | 0:39:56 | |
outstanding Olympic Winter Games,
silver medallist in the giant | 0:39:56 | 0:39:59 | |
slalom, silver medallist in
yesterday's downhill. Right now I | 0:39:59 | 0:40:02 | |
think she is out of gold medal
contention. That is beyond her. I | 0:40:02 | 0:40:07 | |
think she's probably too slow to
deny Mikaela Shiffrin silver medal | 0:40:07 | 0:40:12 | |
position. Her target remains Wendy
Holdener in bronze medal place right | 0:40:12 | 0:40:15 | |
now. Is it fast enough? | 0:40:15 | 0:40:22 | |
now. Is it fast enough? 2:20.9 is
Michelle Gisin's leading time and | 0:40:22 | 0:40:25 | |
Ragnhild Mowinckel is in fourth, no
change in amongst the medals. And | 0:40:25 | 0:40:29 | |
with just one to come, it's now
means that Mikaela Shiffrin and | 0:40:29 | 0:40:34 | |
Michelle Gisin are guaranteed
medals. Lindsey Vonn prepares to ski | 0:40:34 | 0:40:41 | |
at the Pyeongchang Olympics for the
last time. Her advantage of the | 0:40:41 | 0:40:45 | |
Michelle Gisin is 0.77 after the
downhill. A rare outing on the short | 0:40:45 | 0:40:51 | |
slalom skis for Lindsey Vonn Budgie
has so much experience, if she can | 0:40:51 | 0:40:55 | |
find their way successfully through
the steep part of the course, she | 0:40:55 | 0:40:58 | |
could be in contention but she
grinds to a halt! That means | 0:40:58 | 0:41:01 | |
Michelle Gisin is the Olympic
combined champion, four years after | 0:41:01 | 0:41:07 | |
her older sister Dominique won
downhill gold, Michelle Gisin will | 0:41:07 | 0:41:12 | |
be going home with an Olympic gold
medal. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:16 | |
be going home with an Olympic gold
medal. | 0:41:16 | 0:41:17 | |
She | 0:41:17 | 0:41:17 | |
she was really inspired by her
sister four years ago and it gave | 0:41:17 | 0:41:22 | |
her the opportunity to dream and it
was a great performance but can we | 0:41:22 | 0:41:26 | |
talk about Lindsey Vonn first? Her
downhill, she was | 0:41:26 | 0:41:29 | |
talk about Lindsey Vonn first? Her
downhill, she was so strong and | 0:41:29 | 0:41:30 | |
committed, if she had skied like
this yesterday in the downhill, | 0:41:30 | 0:41:33 | |
would she have won a gold medal? She
certainly would have been there or | 0:41:33 | 0:41:37 | |
thereabouts, she was much happier
today, she was loose, she was lower, | 0:41:37 | 0:41:41 | |
she was much more aggressive at the
same time and that is the downhill | 0:41:41 | 0:41:44 | |
skiing we are used to seeing from
her, she was proving a point. But | 0:41:44 | 0:41:48 | |
she finds it difficult to transfer
to slalom. She is not taken her | 0:41:48 | 0:41:53 | |
slalom skis out of the bag for a
long time, it is not one of their | 0:41:53 | 0:41:57 | |
disciplines and now each discipline
is so competitive, you have to spend | 0:41:57 | 0:42:00 | |
all the time focusing on one because
you cannot be competitive across the | 0:42:00 | 0:42:03 | |
board any more. Is it easier for a
downhill skier to switch to | 0:42:03 | 0:42:06 | |
incorporate slalom or the other way
around? Slalom to downhill because | 0:42:06 | 0:42:12 | |
the quick movements you have do have
is a slalom skier, you can learn to | 0:42:12 | 0:42:15 | |
slow those down to downhill, if you
are a downhill skier, there's | 0:42:15 | 0:42:19 | |
nowhere you can move that quickly,
it is not in your DNA. Let's look at | 0:42:19 | 0:42:24 | |
the gold medallist, Michelle Gisin
mastered both at you -- as you have | 0:42:24 | 0:42:27 | |
do and she won by a long way. She
was solid in the downhill, only 0.77 | 0:42:27 | 0:42:34 | |
off Lindsey Vonn after the downhill
leg and then skied a really solid | 0:42:34 | 0:42:39 | |
slalom run, it's not her favourite
discipline, her best was 16th last | 0:42:39 | 0:42:43 | |
time out but she skied really well
and took risks and ended up getting | 0:42:43 | 0:42:47 | |
the reward. She looks tiny, a lot
more compact. She's just a great | 0:42:47 | 0:42:53 | |
skier. Her reactions are really
quick. Stunning competition to watch | 0:42:53 | 0:42:57 | |
and a good silver for Mikaela
Shiffrin. | 0:42:57 | 0:43:00 | |
Men's skiing halfpipe now
and leading the pack is somewhat | 0:43:01 | 0:43:02 | |
of a freestyle skiing anomaly. | 0:43:02 | 0:43:04 | |
In a world of baggy trousers
and free spirits, David Wise has | 0:43:04 | 0:43:06 | |
been dubbed the "Undude". | 0:43:06 | 0:43:07 | |
The father of two won gold in Sochi
four years ago and looks in form | 0:43:07 | 0:43:11 | |
to defend his title after securing
a fourth X Games title | 0:43:11 | 0:43:14 | |
just a few weeks ago. | 0:43:14 | 0:43:15 | |
We join two guys who are definitely
dudes, Tim Warwood and Woodsy. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:22 | |
How do you do it again? All right,
crew, we are about to drop in for | 0:43:22 | 0:43:27 | |
the finals of the men's free Steve
Harper, qualification was amazing | 0:43:27 | 0:43:31 | |
but believe me when I say the level
was about here, everyone did what | 0:43:31 | 0:43:34 | |
they needed to do to make it to the
big show. Finals today, it is about | 0:43:34 | 0:43:38 | |
to blow the socks off this baby!
He's not wrong. This is going to be | 0:43:38 | 0:43:44 | |
majestic. Strap yourselves in. Here
we go. | 0:43:44 | 0:43:49 | |
# Lights, cameras, it's all there. #
With four Americans in the final, | 0:43:49 | 0:43:54 | |
they were heavy favourites to take
the gold but which rider would it be | 0:43:54 | 0:43:58 | |
to land their run clean? Well, it
wasn't defending champion David Wise | 0:43:58 | 0:44:05 | |
or Torin Yater-Wallace, Aaron
Blunck's run was super technical but | 0:44:05 | 0:44:07 | |
he was penalised for missing a grab.
Alex Barrera stepped it up with a | 0:44:07 | 0:44:11 | |
huge first run, and his celebrations
at everything. -- Alex Ferreiro. | 0:44:11 | 0:44:20 | |
Helicopters on the pole. Noah Bowman
was so smooth, a run littered with | 0:44:20 | 0:44:24 | |
Switch doubles in every direction,
giving him second place after the | 0:44:24 | 0:44:26 | |
first run. James Wells' first effort
was all about style, taking third | 0:44:26 | 0:44:33 | |
place with 87.4. Down a pipe 1260,
my goodness! Going into the second | 0:44:33 | 0:44:41 | |
run, 16-year-old Nico Porteous was
already fizzing after scoring 82 on | 0:44:41 | 0:44:44 | |
his first run. Oh, my days, Nico
Porteous! What has he got? Double, | 0:44:44 | 0:44:53 | |
flat spin nine! It is huge! A
16-year-old! The teenager raised the | 0:44:53 | 0:45:00 | |
bar to the stratosphere and many of
his more experienced competitors | 0:45:00 | 0:45:05 | |
failed to match it. At the moment,
that kid right there will be beside | 0:45:05 | 0:45:09 | |
himself. Alex Ferreiro, back in the
hot seat. Massive, a bit flat but | 0:45:09 | 0:45:17 | |
keeps his speed. Hit, woodsy. I
can't do it. Even better than his | 0:45:17 | 0:45:23 | |
first run! Oh, my God! I think you
will actually explode if he wins the | 0:45:23 | 0:45:33 | |
gold medal. Into the third and final
run, the podium spot had an | 0:45:33 | 0:45:37 | |
unfamiliar look. Nico Porteous
cashed out and settled for his score | 0:45:37 | 0:45:40 | |
after run two. Noah Bowman's score
meant he was relying on no one else | 0:45:40 | 0:45:45 | |
improving Ter Stegen in the medals.
Dropping in. Or the Breschel David | 0:45:45 | 0:45:52 | |
Wise, the reigning Olympic champion,
more than you could possibly | 0:45:52 | 0:45:56 | |
imagine. He's put it down. Private,
left, down the pipe ten, Wright said | 0:45:56 | 0:46:02 | |
12 to finish this run off, four more
doubles, boom! That's it! The | 0:46:02 | 0:46:07 | |
defending Olympic champion pulls the
proverbial rabbit out of the hat! | 0:46:07 | 0:46:13 | |
We are having some technical
difficulties... A huge hit! | 0:46:18 | 0:46:24 | |
Unfortunately Kevin Rolland and
Torin Yater-Wallace tech heavy slams | 0:46:24 | 0:46:26 | |
in their efforts to | 0:46:26 | 0:46:32 | |
in their efforts to step up.
Beau-James Wells run was a thing of | 0:46:32 | 0:46:34 | |
beauty, with a huge step up, the run
of his life but only good enough for | 0:46:34 | 0:46:40 | |
fourth place today. If ever there
was a time to rip the lid off it, | 0:46:40 | 0:46:47 | |
this was it! Alex Ferreira had
amplitude that was off the charts... | 0:46:47 | 0:46:51 | |
Alex Ferreira has knocked it out the
park, he has slapped it into a space | 0:46:51 | 0:46:56 | |
rocket and sent it into outer space!
But it wasn't quite enough to beat | 0:46:56 | 0:47:01 | |
out David Wise's ground-breaking
offering to this super final. Aaron | 0:47:01 | 0:47:09 | |
Blunck was the final skier to drop.
All eyes on him, could he make it an | 0:47:09 | 0:47:14 | |
American lock-out on the podium? The
900, completely blind and into the | 0:47:14 | 0:47:21 | |
switch... Double ten. Bringing it
forward. Flat spin nine... My | 0:47:21 | 0:47:26 | |
goodness! What? Oh, my goodness! He
doesn't do it! Well, well, well. | 0:47:26 | 0:47:36 | |
That is amen's ski half pipe final
to remember. Alex Ferreira takes | 0:47:36 | 0:47:43 | |
second. A huge shout out to Nico
Porteous. But David Wise, the | 0:47:43 | 0:47:47 | |
Olympic champion, has poured the cat
out of the bag -- pulled the cat out | 0:47:47 | 0:47:53 | |
the bag. My plan was to do a run
that would be really hard to beat. | 0:47:53 | 0:47:57 | |
If I did it well and landed it well.
I thought it was out of reach but I | 0:47:57 | 0:48:02 | |
did not know what they would do.
Alex laid down a heater. It is an | 0:48:02 | 0:48:08 | |
honour to ski with him. It is such a
rush. STUDIO: They were doing it on | 0:48:08 | 0:48:13 | |
the podium! I'm going to get it! A
massive road in the studio here | 0:48:13 | 0:48:19 | |
about clothing. I don't understand
why they wear such huge and baggy | 0:48:19 | 0:48:23 | |
clothes. If they were tighter, they
are more restricted and cannot move, | 0:48:23 | 0:48:28 | |
but why don't they wear ski tight --
skintight Lycra? It would suit you, | 0:48:28 | 0:48:37 | |
to be fair... It wouldn't be
freestyle sport. It is the style. I | 0:48:37 | 0:48:43 | |
understand, but you were moaning
about the wind and it is catching... | 0:48:43 | 0:48:47 | |
He crashed on both of his first two
runs. It was a binding issue, he | 0:48:47 | 0:48:53 | |
stepped out of his skis both times.
He had to lay this down, as they | 0:48:53 | 0:48:57 | |
say, in the third run. So, David
Wise, he had way more pressure added | 0:48:57 | 0:49:03 | |
to himself by leaving it to the last
run. Because they do three runs now | 0:49:03 | 0:49:08 | |
at the Olympics, it allows us to see
greater shows. David Wise, | 0:49:08 | 0:49:13 | |
obviously, he put down a bang of a
run, claiming it and his skis stayed | 0:49:13 | 0:49:20 | |
on his feet. His coat isn't as
bag... Amy, you are right! -- isn't | 0:49:20 | 0:49:28 | |
as baggy. You talk about the guys,
some of them are using the poles, | 0:49:28 | 0:49:36 | |
others are not using the poles.
There is ongoing discussion, there | 0:49:36 | 0:49:40 | |
have been some in the past which do
not use the poles. From an aerial | 0:49:40 | 0:49:44 | |
point of view it would probably be
easier without them. I think it | 0:49:44 | 0:49:49 | |
looks better without them. I think
it looks funny without them... | 0:49:49 | 0:49:54 | |
Skiers themselves do like them. Is
it like a comfort blanket? If you | 0:49:54 | 0:49:59 | |
lost your pace, you could use them!
David Wise is my new hero. When he | 0:49:59 | 0:50:05 | |
got onto the podium, he made sure
that his kids were allowed to come | 0:50:05 | 0:50:10 | |
up as well. He has a three-year-old
and a six-year-old. He is best | 0:50:10 | 0:50:15 | |
friends with Alex Ferreira. He is a
family man. He has a wonderful | 0:50:15 | 0:50:21 | |
family. He doesn't like to compete
when his family are not there. He | 0:50:21 | 0:50:25 | |
wants them there all the time. All
of the X Games events, you see | 0:50:25 | 0:50:30 | |
them supporting him. We love him, he
is our favourite! | 0:50:30 | 0:50:34 | |
The most popular winter sport
in North America, by far, | 0:50:34 | 0:50:36 | |
is ice hockey and it's 38 years
to the day since The Miracle On Ice | 0:50:36 | 0:50:40 | |
when an amateur American team beat
the might of the Soviet | 0:50:40 | 0:50:43 | |
professionals in Lake Placid. | 0:50:43 | 0:50:44 | |
In the women's game, it's | 0:50:44 | 0:50:45 | |
been 20 years since the Americans
won their first and only final | 0:50:45 | 0:50:48 | |
in Nagano. | 0:50:48 | 0:50:49 | |
They beat Canada to win gold. | 0:50:49 | 0:50:50 | |
Two decades later, it's
the same two teams. | 0:50:50 | 0:50:52 | |
Four-time defending world champions
USA take on the four-time defending | 0:50:52 | 0:50:55 | |
Olympic champions, Canada. | 0:50:55 | 0:50:56 | |
What a match it was. | 0:50:56 | 0:50:57 | |
Here's Seth Bennett. | 0:50:57 | 0:51:05 | |
Canada haven't lost an Olympic ice
hockey match since 1998. That was | 0:51:11 | 0:51:15 | |
the last time the Americans won the
gold medal and inspired by the | 0:51:15 | 0:51:20 | |
disappointment of the Sochi Silver,
they were determined to go single | 0:51:20 | 0:51:23 | |
much better this time around. Hilary
Knight set them on their way with | 0:51:23 | 0:51:27 | |
her first goal of the tournament...
But that only prompted Canada to | 0:51:27 | 0:51:32 | |
respond... Canada are back in this
as they level things! | 0:51:32 | 0:51:44 | |
as they level things! 2-1!
Marie-Philip Poulin?! Time was | 0:51:44 | 0:51:46 | |
running out, Canada were on for a
fifth straight goal... | 0:51:46 | 0:51:55 | |
fifth straight goal... Jocelyne
Lamoureux-Davidson! 2-2! It came | 0:51:55 | 0:51:58 | |
down to a shoot out. The first ever
in a women's Olympic final, one that | 0:51:58 | 0:52:03 | |
will live long in the memory. The
shooter for Canada, looking to set | 0:52:03 | 0:52:11 | |
the tone early and get a goal, but
the USA on the back burner... | 0:52:11 | 0:52:23 | |
Spooner, and here is Marvin.
Stepping in and she scores! The US | 0:52:23 | 0:52:27 | |
take the lead! Augustus steps in,
rifles at home! | 0:52:27 | 0:52:40 | |
rifles at home! Marie-Philip Poulin?
with the move... Good save from | 0:52:42 | 0:52:44 | |
Rooney! A kick save! We are still
level. Ooh, my word! That was | 0:52:44 | 0:52:57 | |
incredible! Are you kidding me right
now? You've got to be! Look at this. | 0:52:57 | 0:53:07 | |
An amazing goal from Daoust! The US
trailing 2-1. | 0:53:07 | 0:53:19 | |
trailing 2-1. Amanda Kessel for
America levels things up! Can she | 0:53:19 | 0:53:24 | |
put pressure on America? Saved!
Hilary Knight, the face of women's | 0:53:24 | 0:53:29 | |
hockey in the USA. This is a gold
medal shot for the USA... Saved! And | 0:53:29 | 0:53:36 | |
we go to sudden death in the shoot
out. Slowly, slowly... Jocelyne | 0:53:36 | 0:53:45 | |
Lamoureux-Davidson... A great goal!
Shake and baked! It is going to be | 0:53:45 | 0:53:54 | |
Megan Augusta. She has already
scored once. She needs to score to | 0:53:54 | 0:53:58 | |
keep Canada in with a chance. Saved!
USA win gold for the first time | 0:53:58 | 0:54:06 | |
since 1998! Canada's run of 24
straight wins in Olympic hockey | 0:54:06 | 0:54:11 | |
matches is over! They are
devastated! | 0:54:11 | 0:54:17 | |
devastated! The Americans are
crowned the Olympic champions for | 0:54:17 | 0:54:20 | |
the second time. STUDIO: The best
celebrations and the messiest so | 0:54:20 | 0:54:26 | |
far! Seven gold medals. Here is
Paddy with the other three, and | 0:54:26 | 0:54:30 | |
more, besides... This is the Winter | 0:54:30 | 0:54:36 | |
Olympics, and no problems for the by
athletes in Belarus, they wonder | 0:54:36 | 0:54:41 | |
women's four by six K relay, thanks
to some stunning | 0:54:41 | 0:54:46 | |
skiing from Darya Domracheva. She
took time off to have a baby. What | 0:54:46 | 0:54:50 | |
has happened to Canadian curling?
Women were knocked out in the Round | 0:54:50 | 0:54:53 | |
Robin but the men have lost to the
USA in the semifinals. Canada's men | 0:54:53 | 0:54:58 | |
have won the gold in the last three
Olympics. America have to go some to | 0:54:58 | 0:55:03 | |
beat Sweden. They beat Switzerland,
Britain's conquerors, 9-3. | 0:55:03 | 0:55:12 | |
Meanwhile, Russian curler Alexander
Krushelnitsky has been stripped of | 0:55:12 | 0:55:14 | |
the medal that he won in the mixed
doubles. The court of up and say | 0:55:14 | 0:55:18 | |
that he has accepted an anti-doping
violation. It will be taken from him | 0:55:18 | 0:55:24 | |
and his wife and given to Norway. In
the Nordic combined, there is a | 0:55:24 | 0:55:30 | |
Germanic feel. Combining skiing with
cross country. The Germans have now | 0:55:30 | 0:55:35 | |
won all three titles in the sport at
this Olympics. And Hungarian history | 0:55:35 | 0:55:40 | |
in the men's 5000 metre short track
relay, Shaolin Sandor Liu got their | 0:55:40 | 0:55:47 | |
first-ever Winter Olympic gold. He
was congratulated at the end by his | 0:55:47 | 0:55:50 | |
girlfriend Elise Christie. STUDIO:
Said she had something to celebrate! | 0:55:50 | 0:55:54 | |
First ever gold medal for Hungary.
Let me mention New Zealand as well, | 0:55:54 | 0:55:59 | |
trebling their Winter Olympic Hall.
Germany, single short of an all-time | 0:55:59 | 0:56:06 | |
record. The USA push themselves up
into fourth. | 0:56:06 | 0:56:12 | |
Let's go off piste.. | 0:56:12 | 0:56:16 | |
As we have seen, everybody is trying
out the curling, even if they are | 0:56:16 | 0:56:19 | |
very young! Two-month-old Joshua
here. And this is a great homage! | 0:56:19 | 0:56:30 | |
Some training for a new event...
What do we call this? Head Bob! And | 0:56:30 | 0:56:37 | |
cousins Henry and Rebecca are
practising their run-up for the | 0:56:37 | 0:56:40 | |
bobsleigh. Some videos as well.
Billy Morgan here, what is he up to? | 0:56:40 | 0:56:48 | |
This is his way of relaxing. He
obviously has a big air final coming | 0:56:48 | 0:56:52 | |
up. This is what he gets up to.
Playing it safe! This is team USA, | 0:56:52 | 0:56:59 | |
combining skeleton and curling! | 0:56:59 | 0:57:06 | |
combining skeleton and curling! This
is the three-man bob from the Coxan. | 0:57:08 | 0:57:16 | |
-- the Coxan family. An Olympic
record! If you are bored at the | 0:57:16 | 0:57:19 | |
airport, this is the new thing to do
to kill time. Suitcase curling! You | 0:57:19 | 0:57:25 | |
will see it all over the place. Now,
it is time for the Brownies... Human | 0:57:25 | 0:57:34 | |
curling! And this is one for Tokyo
2020. The beach bobsleigh! Get in! | 0:57:34 | 0:57:40 | |
Driver, you need to get in! No
committee doesn't want to! | 0:57:40 | 0:57:50 | |
And first up, the ice hockey, the
USA versus Canada. Boom! I mean, | 0:57:50 | 0:57:57 | |
that is a take-out for Brianna
Decker. That is a heavy hit. Out | 0:57:57 | 0:58:04 | |
cold! Next, the skiing, Henrik
Kristoffersen, he is so good, he | 0:58:04 | 0:58:09 | |
can-do slalom without his skis!
Next, your moment of glory, your | 0:58:09 | 0:58:15 | |
country is watching. Wave the flag
over the finish line. For Belarus. | 0:58:15 | 0:58:24 | |
Oh, no! The photo is ruined!
Finally, if kissing was an Olympic | 0:58:26 | 0:58:32 | |
sport, these two would be gold
medallists. If the wind changes | 0:58:32 | 0:58:36 | |
direction, you are stuck that way!
Hull let her breathe! | 0:58:36 | 0:58:43 | |
Turn over to BBC Four now
for extended highlights of the Mens | 0:58:43 | 0:58:46 | |
halfpipe and that incredible womens
ice hockey final. | 0:58:46 | 0:58:50 | |
In just over five hours
the Olympic Athletes from Russia | 0:58:50 | 0:58:53 | |
will see if they can win their first
gold medal of these games | 0:58:53 | 0:58:56 | |
as the incredible teenagers
Alina Zagitova and Evgenia Medvedeva | 0:58:56 | 0:58:58 | |
go in the womens
singles free programme. | 0:58:58 | 0:59:00 | |
It's 16 years ago since that late
night in Salt Lake City | 0:59:00 | 0:59:08 | |
when Rhona delivered
the golden stone to win GB's | 0:59:08 | 0:59:10 | |
first Winter Olympic | 0:59:10 | 0:59:11 | |
gold since Torvill and Dean in 1984. | 0:59:11 | 0:59:13 | |
Now in 2018, can Eve Muirhead,
Anna Sloan, Vicki Adams, | 0:59:13 | 0:59:15 | |
Lauran Gray, supported by alternate
Kelly Schaeffer give | 0:59:15 | 0:59:17 | |
themselves a shot at glory? | 0:59:17 | 0:59:20 | |
They have to beat Sweden tomorrow
to get into the gold medal match | 0:59:20 | 0:59:23 | |
and it's at a much more reasonable
hour - 11am. | 0:59:23 | 0:59:26 | |
That's what I will be watching. See
you tomorrow! | 0:59:26 | 0:59:32 |
