BBC Two Day 8: GB face South Korea in Men's Curling action Winter Olympics

"Pali pali" means faster, faster,

and they nine has begun at lightning

speed. Welcome to a historic day in

Britain's Winter Olympics history,

because Izzy Atkin has become the

first medallist to win on skis.

Sensational stuff at the Phoenix

Snow Park. There are nine titles in

total up for grabs today, and it

could be a golden Super Saturday for

the Brits.

the Brits. 2014 Olympic gold

medallist Lizzy Yarnold has shown a

champion buzz by determination. She

battled illness and a dip in form to

post a new track record in her first

run yesterday. Laura Deas is

fulfilling her promise of too. Her

sparkling second run saw her move up

to fourth place after two runs, one

place behind Yarnold. They begin

their second day's competition at

11.20 this morning. Elise Christie

is also back on the ice, looking to

wipe away those Tuesday tears. Her

1500m campaign starts this morning

at ten o'clock. And here are the

pictures of Super Saturday getting

off to that perfect start. History

at the Phoenix Snow Park, a

first-ever British Olympics no

middle on skis, Izzy Atkin with

bronze in the slopestyle. Let's hear

from her. She is with Tim Warwood.

Come on!

Come on!

I hope this is a good

interview.

How are you feeling?

Just

relieved. Put a rundown, really

happy. Just excited and overwhelmed.

What a final that was. The seeds

were everywhere. It was a weird

qualifying, but then all the best 12

were in there for the final. It

could have been anyone's. Talk us

through it.

There were tonnes of

names in the field. It could have

been anyone. I was at the bottom

after my final one. I knew I had

skied the best I could and I was

waiting for the last three or four

girls to drop. My heart was racing.

I can't believe it.

Dare I say it,

first Olympic medal on skis in a

long time. You must be overwhelmed.

I am still speechless. I'm really

excited and happy. I'm just stoked

with how I skied and stoked to win

the bronze.

Huge congratulations, we

are over the moon for you.

Thank

you, I'm really happy!

Well, you

might notice an accident there from

Izzy Atkin. She was born and raised

in the USA, but decided to represent

Great Britain -- you might have

noticed her accent. It is the

country her father is from, USA's

loss was Great Britain's game today.

History for Izzy Atkin. She will go

down as the first-ever British

winter Olympian to win on skis. Just

the second to win on snow after

Jenny Jones four years ago in Sochi

in snowboarding. Also brilliant

stuff from Katie Summerhayes, who,

not fully fit, made it to the final

and finished a creditable seventh

place. Loads still to come today.

Plenty more excitement. Here is what

is coming up over the next few hours

on BBC Two.

on BBC Two. It is the halfway point

in the qualifications stage for Tim

Smith. Two wins and two losses for

the British team so far. Today they

take on hosts South Korea. And you

have seen the celebrations - we will

show you how Izzy Atkin one that

historic first medal on skis. It's

time for the fastest and bravest

woman to take to the slopes. We will

show you what happened in the

women's Super-G. And we will have

the conclusion of the men's figure

skating. Can Yuzuru Hanyu retain his

Olympic title? If you were watching

on BBC One, you will know that the

men's curlers are back on the brink.

We are heading straight back there

to join up with them in their match

against South Korea. Just a bit of a

reflection on what they have done

over the last few days. This is

their fifth match. They started the

campaign with a last-ditch win

against the Swiss and they picked up

a win against Japan. Defeat

yesterday to Sweden and earlier in

the campaign to Canada means that

after four matches, two wins and two

losses have them sitting third in

the table. Canada and Sweden are the

only two yet to be defeated. Britain

have played them both already. The

top four go through into the

knockout semifinal. Let's get back

to the Gangneung Curling Centre and

our commentary team of Logan Gray

Steve Cram for Great Britain against

South Korea.

It's a critical time and a critical

shot for Great Britain here. Really

up against it. Korea didn't start

well. Great Britain stole two in the

first end, and then they responded

very well and they stole themselves

against hammer in the third end.

This is the fourth. Great Britain

Karadzic hammer into this fourth

end. They have already used a

time-out and had a long discussion

of the shot you have just seen.

Korea have them nicely tied up. It's

not the sort of match it looked in

the first end, Logan, it looked like

it would be easy for Great Britain,

but since then Korea have played

some cracking shots. We have had one

more two little errors. Not that

bad, but here we find ourselves a

bit up against it. This is the

Korean skip.

The GB guys have played well, but

Korea are making everything at the

moment and GB need to weather the

storm. I don't think it is possible

for them to maintain the standard

for the whole game.

So the British

skipper will be able to draw in 41.

That is as good as he will get here.

Two stones of Korea in the house.

Dartitis up in this one, kept

sitting on top of the British stones

-- they tied us up this one. The

crowd are of course well into this.

It is filling up now. And

particularly down that side.

particularly down that side. He has

to be careful with this one.

Got to sweep hard. Well done. Really

hard work, some good sweeping. A

slap on the back for the sweepers.

He knew as soon as he had let it go.

It is 3-3. Very similar to Britain's

women in this morning, who thought

they had a straightforward match

against Denmark and then found

themselves tied. To be honest,

Logan, they haven't played badly

here. It is Korea who have been

good.

Absolutely. The first end was

all GB, but since then it has been

pretty even. Korea 's keep making

these extremely accurate hit and

roles. But at the moment, GB just

need to keep their heads.

need to keep their heads. Just got

the job done here.

the job done here.

That is what this

curling game is all about, the

combination of the sweepers being

able to make a stone go that bit

further than it would have done,

particularly with the strength of

Cammy Smith. That is what they train

for. That is what the hours in the

gym four.

Korea now with the hammer. It's

never bad to have the hammer in the

even ends.

We have to keep an eye on the other

matches. Canada against Sweden is

the big crunch match. It has been a

really tight affair. After four, it

is 2-0 to Canada. Sweden have

blanked the third and fourth end, so

they are into the fifth end. Japan

are leading three have won over

Italy. They have had a good start to

this Olympic campaign. And Norway

are 2-1 up over Switzerland. They

are two well matched teams. You

might occasionally get a glimpse of

the Norwegian trousers, always a

feature.

And although Canada and Sweden are

the gold medal favourites,

Switzerland and Norway are GB's

biggest competitors to make the

medals.

medals.

Norway would have only one

win from the first three matches if

they were to be beaten.

But they

have been to the final of the

Olympics before, picking up the

silver in Vancouver in 2010.

silver in Vancouver in 2010.

Cammy

Smith, doing a good job with the

first two stones.

first two stones. We were talking

before about the kind of strategy

going forward, the way Korea have

been making the hit and rolls and

the takeouts.

That is a mistake.

You can see what the skip wants, to

tap that one back and stay above the

tee line if he can. Try and keep it

hidden as well.

Kyle Waddell. His mum and dad are

here.

I have seen Kyle Smith's

parents as well, his dad is the 1991

champion Dave Smith.

Pretty good

shot.

Korea are going to try and replicate

that shot.

That yellow stone is Korea's friend

at the moment, because Great Britain

half to steer the Korean stone

passed it.

The request was to tip

this on the nose.

That was always the problem. But

they did get a good shooter and they

managed to roll their stone on the

centre line behind the guard.

Bald end, give yourself opportunity

to be drawing in two. They will

start to take, as we have seen, any

opportunity, they need to try again

here.

here. Can they remove two British

stones? He has replaced things as

they were with his own shooter

sitting in. The British stone is now

sitting in the 8-foot. They also

removed the storm from the back. --

they also removed the stone.

Only an

inch away from making the shot

perfect and he has ended up with

pretty much the worst possible

result. A great chance for Team GB.

Thomas Muirhead has been struggling

a little with his

a little with his draws this week,

but today he has played a couple of

nice ones. Not quite what he wanted.

He looks almost incredulous.

That

was a bit of a horrific one from

Thomas. He could have passed by one

foot, and still made a short. A big

misjudgement.

He has opened things

up.

Great Britain have already used the

came out in the fourth end --

came out in the fourth end -- they

are time-out. Classmate, against

Switzerland,...

Switzerland,... Some effort being

applied elsewhere

applied elsewhere wildly Korean team

discuss their options.

That last one was frustrating from

Thomas because it is the first

opportunity we have had to really

crank up the heat on Korea, and that

was disappointing because it has

opened the door again for Korea.

Seong seems to have got himself

steadied, as well as the skip.

steadied, as well as the skip.

I do

not think they will try to remove

the yellow shot stone, they will try

to leave themselves frozen on the

yellow GB storm.

If he is to make that happen, there

is not much room for error.

Perfectly done. But it should still

be easy for Team GB, they could just

slice the red out.

There is enough

distance. Just enough.

Same weight?

Yes.

I like this, they

are trying to take the game to Korea

Rather than playing defensive.

They wanted to catch it inside

centre. A lot of work to do.

Two different shots from young

Thomas Muirhead.

The best word as -- is different.

It

could mean many things. The scoring

area is quite small for Korea, they

have a few yellow stones surrounding

the red. It is not all doom and

gloom for Team GB.

The point is

trying to limit Korea, limit the

opportunities to score two.

They still have a bit of work to do.

I heard them say time-out, and they

take it.

take it. Their coach will make his

way down. They obviously want to

manufacturer scenario where there

are still five stones left to play,

they have three, Team GB have two.

They are trying to give themselves

room to score.

room to score.

I did not know who

that is. Weight he looks like you

would not want to argue with him.

You've got to stay there, stay

close.

Can you hurt yourself running in the

guard?

That is another possibility, run the

card through. But you could hurt

yourself pretty bad.

That sounds

slightly risky.

slightly risky. He'd be worried

about hitting his own stone.

about hitting his own stone. So, hit

the yellow, and push the other out.

That is the sort of shot he has been

favouring.

If you sit right there,

it is a great spot to be in. Make

sure you have a shot at the end of

it.

Sounds like this coach is bringing

more questions than answers!

There

four or five options! From raising

the guard to sitting on the other

clutch.

clutch. What did they settle for?

Hitting the one on the 8-foot? Rate

of the centre line?

Yes, I think

they are trying to roll over in

front of the yellow.

The fifth end. The halfway point in

all of these matches. Assuming they

go the whole way. Korea trying to

give themselves a two shot lead.

Seong is next to go. And the skip

still has two stones after. They

still have a chance to build it. A

pretty difficult shot, given the

circumstances.

He has done well. They have been

making these shots one after the

other since the first end. A bit of

a swagger!

Very good. Nice and controlled, it

did not remove anything, but it got

everything out of the way and left

it in a good spot. I bet he is a

football fan, that guy.

There's a

lot of them here in Korea. Today is

the busiest I have seen in the

Olympic Park, so many people today.

Lots of events in the arenas.

Lots of events in the arenas. You

can hear the groaning from the

crowd. Kyle Smith has done pretty

well. Still a good chance for Korea

to get two. Two storms left. Two in

front, to try to get in behind.

I had forgotten about the red over

the other side.

Are they just going to sit on top of

that?

No, I think they will play a

hit and roll.

I thought he had

changed his mind.

He has been deadly with the hit and

rolls so far.

That is a great try. Cheering from

the audience. He did not quite get

the

the roll across. Nearly, not quite.

They would love to force one,

soothingly to be lying

-- lying short.

I do not want to roll there, then it

is easy for two.

Just roll over, but he has to stay

in the 8-foot. He has two

in the 8-foot. He has two stay shot

if you can.

The deadlock to roll in

front of the other red, but it is

dangerous, if you roll too far out

of the 8-foot, you leave the draw

for two.

A good result would be to

limit Korea with just one.

Kyle Smith has not been playing

badly, 83%.

It just about stays. That is nicely

done.

That is an absolute

done.

That is an absolute Stinger

from Kyle Smith.

That is what you

need to do, just do not give easy

shots to the opposition.

Kim can draw in fairly

straightforward for his one. He's

going to try a fancy one here and

try and flick the British stone and

roll over. Very difficult shot.

Do you think he will just draw for

one?

At this stage, that might be

the better option. He is playing

pretty well.

On the other hand, maybe his

thinking, I am playing so well that

I can make this.

It's all about how

you play the shot. You can use the

sweepers.

He hasn't played this with

too much weight.

too much weight. He might have just

done enough there. What a shot.

That's it. What a shot from him. We

said it was a risky one to play. He

just caught enough of it, moves the

British stone back an inch and by so

doing, Korea get two. So at the

halfway point, it is 5-3 to Korea.

So slender lead for Korea in that

match against Great Britain. We will

head back there after a break, but

at the moment, more reaction from

the Phoenix Snow Park, Izzy Atkin

with that sensational bronze medal.

But Katie -- Katie Summerhayes also

did well. She picked up an ankle

ligament injury in December and was

essentially making her return to the

snow out here in Pyeongchang, when

she hurt her ankle again in

Kennington gritted her teeth to make

it to final and a seventh place

finish. Earlier, Tim Warwood caught

up with an emotional Katie

Summerhayes.

Strong performance. How tough was

that final? Forget that, how tough

was today?

Today has been... Yeah,

it was hard. I hurt my ankle in

training, so it's been clap since

then. I have not been able to walk

on it. I tried to put everything out

there, but...

there, but...

You qualified for the

finals, seventh place, same as four

years ago. You have done yourself

proud. How tough was that final?

Yeah, the same as four years ago,

and I worked so hard.

We feel for

you. Come on, bring her in. Look at

this. How proud of your sister are

you?

So proud of her. I know

everything she has gone through and

I raced over from practice to watch

her do her last run. I couldn't be

prouder of her, I am even crying for

her. I am so pleased.

A quick word

on Izzy, bronze medal. You have got

one of your best mates skiing

tomorrow, how is it going to affect

his morale, Woodsy?

I don't know.

Hopefully, he gets stoked off it.

They are tough conditions. He has to

try to do as well as he can.

Well,

we love you. Huge congratulations,

seventh best in the world is not to

be sniffed at.

It doesn't feel like

that right now. I'm gutted. I have

worked so hard in the past four

years and I got injured two months

ago. This is going to hurt for a

while, I think.

Come on.

while, I think.

Come on. STUDIO:

Emotional stuff from Katie

Summerhayes. It was so unfortunate

that shipping out that ankle

ligament injury just before coming

out here to the games. She worked so

hard to get herself fit enough to be

on the snow here in Pyeongchang. Am

sure she will look back on that once

she gets over the emotion of the day

and realise she did herself very

proud with another seventh place

finish to match what she did in

Sochi four years ago. Her sister

Molly came to consult her. She will

be going in the skiing half-pipe

later. I am sure what Katie has done

and what Izzy did with that

sensational bronze medal will give

lots of inspiration to James Woods,

who goes tomorrow in the men's

slopestyle. Could we have more to

celebrate tomorrow at the Phoenix

Snow Park? It's been brilliant stuff

from them this morning and we will

hopefully have more reaction and we

will look back at that as the day

goes on. But we head back now to the

curling centre, where it's pretty

tense between hosts South Korea and

Great Britain. South Korea was a

slight advantage after that fifth

end. Great Britain looking to bounce

back and try and pick up their third

win of their opening five games.

Here are your commentators, Logan

Gray and Steve Cram.

Well, it's been a tough affair so

far and one which Great Britain

might have thought would have gone

easier for them. Logan, you look at

the game on paper and think this is

an easy match and that the

opposition are firing. Maybe you

have to readjust a bit?

Absolutely.

They made such a strong start as

well, stealing two in the first end,

and then Korea have made shot after

shot. GB just need to weather the

storm at the moment.

The skip in

particular, Kim, has been superb. He

has played some wonderful shots.

Although Britain have not made too

many mistakes, he has been the main

reason that Korea find themselves

two ahead, but in all is not lost

here. We still have half the match

to go. We are two down at the

midpoint. Crucially, Great Britain

have the hammer in the even ends as

well.

well. They need to limit Korea. The

main thing is to stay in this.

Logan, you talked before about how

you play the last three ends. What

is your decision like?

is your decision like?

The British

team have more experience than the

Koreans. But at the moment, you

can't substitute anything for great

shotmaking and Korea are making

everything.

There are three other

matches. Two of them are tied up.

Switzerland and Norway or 2-2, and

it is the same score in the epic

battle between Canada and Sweden.

Sweden were victorious over the

British team last night. That was a

match in which Britain, for a long

time, played so well and then fell

away. They almost did the opposite

to happen here. They need to find

their best shots in the second half

of this match.

Cammy Smith put up a corner guard.

This looks good.

Another good setup

from Cammy Smith.

from Cammy Smith.

Four Stones

played. You can remove the guards

out front.

This is Oh, who placed second for

Korea.

Korea. Just clips the Gardeners'

World.

That might just clips the guard.

It is too early at the moment.

If

the opposing team are hitting, how

do you combat that?

Just need to

keep plugging away. They are doing

the right things, it is just about

stone positioning Team GB are trying

to be more aggressive and forced

mistakes from Korea, whereas Korea

are waiting for the mistakes from

GB, if you understand what I mean.

And that they are taking advantage.

Well, they have just had another

mistake to take advantage of. Kyle

Waddell caning in -- coming in, and

here is another opportunity to take

both these British stones out.

Again, they haven't started the

second half well. Still a long way

to go in this end.

to go in this end.

That was a rare

half shot from Oh.

half shot from Oh.

He knows that was

a good opportunity. The way they

have been playing, almost a surprise

that he didn't make it. They need to

knuckle down here and realise the

situation they are in. I am not

saying this is a must

saying this is a must win match, but

you would not want to lose many more

batches. You could get away with

losing four, but you might be

fortunate to go through with a five

and four record.

They are two wins

behind Canada and Sweden at the

moment, but one of those will come

back with a loss from this session,

so they would like to keep on their

coat-tails as well. That was a great

draw from Kyle Waddell.

draw from Kyle Waddell. Korea will

not like this, because they don't

have an easy takeout on the GB

stones.

Both teams have now used their time

at as well. All the way through the

second half, there were have to make

their mind up themselves -- they

have used their time-out.

Yet again, nice shot.

But it gives

GB the chance to play the same draw

they just played.

In the previous end, Thomas Muirhead

had a couple of errant shots.

That is a nice shot. That will make

him feel better. A sniff, yeah.

him feel better. A sniff, yeah. We

shouldn't forget, this is a young

team. First time at the Olympic

Games. They have done well to give

themselves the opportunity to

represent Great Britain. Did well at

the European Championships over

Christmas.

They are just not missing anything

at the moment.

With the exception of

the lead, they have only played

eight draws as opposed to 26

takeouts, the other three.

When you have lost your first four

team won games, the teams tend to

make them very close, they will not

take many risks. Dini to some

confidence going. That is working

for them at the moment. Cash they

need to get some confidence going.

That pulled up a little.

Just the

chance to make the double of this

raise. They would have liked to have

got it a few feet down, to Wear Kyle

and Thomas got it before.

With your last stone, you always

want to, however difficult the shot

is, give yourself a chance to get

two.

two. The Korean stone is very close,

just behind the bat. It is all

around that at the moment. --

around that at the moment. -- pained

behind the button.

Almost. Britain wanted to tap it

behind a three. They are saying to

just leave that when there are.

Easy

to remove the red, not so easy for

the double takeout. Weight he wants

to play it and tap the yellow want

to the red.

to the red. The one just right of

centre as we look at it.

centre as we look at it. The team

coach is watching on. We do not want

to be in the local newspapers for

the wrong reasons, having been

beaten.

Keep the faith, there is still a

long way to go.

The good news is they have not left

double takeout, they have put

another Korean stone into it. Weight

yes, too many errant shots at the

moment,

moment, --

yes, too many errant

shots at the moment. They have just

got to try to take this.

The other stone is fourth.

They may

just be throwing the guard. Weight

yes, I think that is the plan. It is

a difficult situation for Great

Britain, and I think they are

thinking to just protect it.

He has been shooting well. Weight

depending on where he puts it, we're

still hopeful they have another

shot.

Beer it is, right in line.

The only way I can see it for

Britain is to call into the wind

here. It is only going to be per

one, at the yellow next to Kyle

Waddell.

Waddell. Deen you would have to

throw a barrier? Or would you throw

it normal?

They are looking to run

it at the top, back into the yellow

as well.

He is confident there is no risk,

but I'm not convinced.

Weight this is a pivotal moment in

the match. Great Britain have to

hammer.

hammer. Kyle Smith is trying to get

one.

Weight well, the cheering has

started, and this has now become

what was now -- what was now a tough

situation is becoming incredibly

challenging in a way they could not

have envisaged.

From 3-3, two ends

later, it is 7-3. Just for ends

left. To make matters even worse,

they will have the hammer in the

seventh and ninth. I think the

judges just going down there. If you

have any expletives, I will

apologise for that. The judge has

had a word with the British team.

When you see the shots Korea mate,

you could not have seen them being

in this situation. Korea have played

brilliantly well, but they have been

helped in the last three or four

ends by shots which -- mistakes

Great Britain were not making early

on.

on. Four down. People have come back

from that, of course they have, and

the Korean team have certainly given

away ends where they were giving

away three or four, but the way they

are playing here, something would

have to change radically for that to

happen.

happen.

The score is 7-1 for the

last five games, which is crazy to

think after the first. But the

Koreans have not put a foot wrong,

they were waiting for GB to make a

mistake and pains every single time.

The crowd are loving this. Korea

have not won a match so far, they

have lost four.

have lost four. If you have just

woken up to this, it is not going to

script. I would not see we have

fallen apart, but we are struggling

with decision-making. Was that the

rate shot to play? Though a shot

from Kyle Smith?

That's not what I

would have gone, but it is what he

was confident with. I fancied the

shot of the wide stone. He never got

close to going for the wide one.

Kyle Waddell says he fancied that. A

really good freeze from Cammy Smith.

Cammy Smith has not done anything

wrong.

90% for this match.

The way it sits at the moment, they

would have to hammer at the tenth

end. So they do not be aggressive,

Korea, they do not need to force the

issue.

That is unfortunately what we

do not want. They have shown

themselves to be very good at the

takeouts and keeping things nice and

open and clean, and that will be the

tactic for the rest of the game.

tactic for the rest of the game. GB

wanted to play to their superior

strategic knowledge. But the

shotmaking abilities come from the

Koreans rather than Team GB.

When you have lost three after five,

and you can argue they have played

three of the toughest teams, they

are capable of beating everyone

else, but they are capable of

beating Korea, and they have not

done it here. To beat the other

teams you have got to play well and

accept if teams turn up playing

well, you have to match it.

well, you have to match it. The

guard will easily be taken away.

Trying to use stones here, but there

is also two Korean stones behind the

yellow.

yellow.

It may seem that GB are just

wasting stones at the moment, but it

is kind of what they are trying to

do, run this through a level so that

when they do make a move and get

into a position to lie shot, Korea

will only have a couple of stones to

retrieve the situation.

It is going to be the same shot

again for Korea, and then I would

expect Team GB may well make a play

on the house.

A small tap would be quite nice if

we could get it right on the nose.

So, this will be a change up here,

not throwing the guard, and just

rumble around the stones in the

house.

Something has to happen if

they are going to resurrect the

situation. It is slipping away from

them. Still three more ends after

this.

They have got a real clutch of

stones there.

stones there. We do have last stone,

so they have the chance to move them

around. There are two stones left

for each team. What will you do

here, can't stick something in

front?

Absolutely. It was a great

shot that Thomas played. He would

have liked to move the red back a

bit. Team GB were expecting to play

a takeout with this one, but they

are going to throw a guard.

I would,

because with only two stones left,

it is going to almost waste a stone

for Great Britain.

for Great Britain.

That is the way

it works sometimes. When you do make

a play in the house, you need to

make the shot perfect, otherwise it

has worked against you.

That was a bit long. Hopefully long

enough that Kyle can come around and

tap those yellows.

There might be

just enough room. He is having a

look.

Kyle needs to find something here.

The last two or three ends, there

have been mistakes all over the

team. But he would be the first to

admit that he has not been finding

his shots in the latter stages of

this match so far. As skip, usually

get the more difficult shots, but

that is why you're the skip.

that is why you're the skip. Is he

going to run this guard back?

Looks

like it.

There is a bit of cross your fingers

here.

Well, the situation just goes from

bad to worse.

bad to worse. Korea haven't missed

any of them. Every time they have

played that sort of shot, it has

been accurate.

been accurate.

Very difficult to

score as the stones life GB. -- as

the stones life for GB.

Kim has been pretty good.

Making life very difficult here for

the British skip. He's trying to see

which way things are going to go.

What have you got, do you think?

Sounds like he is ordering a cup of

coffee, a skinny half. It has been

partly by their own design, the

situation we are in.

The run back has to be accurate. He

has to hit this yellow on the nose.

They need something to go their way

here.

here. I am not convinced the middle

one will shift. It is a bit hit and

hope here.

I think it will, and they

don't have to squeeze it that far.

He likes this one. Great shot, well

done! A fist pump from Kyle Waddell,

they have dug themselves out of a

huge hole. They still have a lot of

work to do, but they have given

themselves a chance. Kyle Smith

comes up with the goods. What a

shot, after the one previous to that

had missed completely. This time, he

got it right on the nose, as he

said, using that red onto the line

of four, springing the two Korean

stones out of the back. 7-5 now.

That could have gone horribly wrong.

But he had the confidence to deliver

it, and hopefully that has given the

whole team a bit of a lift. Now they

need to find something special. They

have still got two ends left, sorry,

three. Korea will have the hammer in

ends eight and ten, but at least it

is a two shot match now.

That was a

great shot from Kyle Smith. And it

was nice to see a big reaction from

them, really getting excited. That

was what they were like when they

were younger. Some people would like

to see them be more mellow, but I

think it works for this team and

hopefully it will spur them on for

the last few ends.

the last few ends.

Korea with the

hammer. Cammy Smith putting the

guard up. I agree with you. If your

natural game is to be more

boisterous and to react, of course

when things are going wrong, you

don't want to go to match the other

way. But you have to be yourself.

Still a lot of work to do, though.

Let's not get too carried away. The

other team has the hammer.

We have not seen too much of this

tactic this week, but it is actually

very effective. If you are leading

in the game, you don't want to draw

into the centre of play. That gives

the team chasing the game something

else to think about.

It is like Cammy Smith has the

stones on a remote control at the

moment! You just drops them exactly

where he wants them.

The scores elsewhere, Japan are

leading Italy 5-3 now. It is 4-4

between Switzerland and Norway, and

Sweden have a stranglehold on that

much. It was 2-0 to Canada early on,

but we have had a lot of blank ends.

It is for- two in the sixth and

seventh ends, scoring four Sweden --

it is for - two. Canada have the

hammer in the eighth, but they are

two down.

Korea abandoned their previous

tactic. Often, when you see teams

doing that with their first one,

they do it with the second one.

Lovely draw. Very good shot from

Kyle Waddell.

It's a good start to

this extent. -- eighth end.

We will probably go back to a bit of

cat and mouse here.

That long guard isn't a lot of use

to GB.

This might go right where he wants

it.

That is perfect.

it.

That is perfect.

He said he has

got a chance.

I suppose you have got to keep

asking the question.

asking the question. We have had

four good stones from Great Britain

so far in this eighth end.

so far in this eighth end. To be

fair to Thomas

fair to Thomas Muirhead.

There is

actually not a lot in the stats

between these two teams, but

something the stats don't show is

that you can make a shot well and

then you can make a shot perfectly.

If you make them perfectly, it makes

things extremely different for your

opposition to if you have made them

well. And Korea are making

everything perfectly at the moment.

Thomas Muirhead had a change of

mind. You like it?

Yeah. The worry

is that the stones in the house are

not sitting that nicely for GB at

the moment. So they need to get

another one in there. They have done

a good job here. Lovely draw.

Well

swept as well.

swept as well.

Well, I talked about

Korean strategy earlier in the

game...

He might be changing his

mind. You thought he was going to

draw in there.

I would have been so

happy if he had, because that would

have played right into GB's hands.

Unfortunately, he's going for a more

textbook call when you're leading in

the game and you don't really need

to score. You want to keep things

nice and clear and open, and Korea

can spray at least three stones from

play here.

play here.

Seong has been very good

at this.

Now we have a very open house here.

Korea with the hammer at this end.

Are you sure you do not want to go

back and play the freeze, guys?

Seong has been brilliant.

Is Korea were to get two, it would

make it incredibly difficult, with

two ends left.

Thingy to try to hold on to an extra

end.

A lot needs to happen to make

that transpire.

It goes a little too

far.

That gives Korea the chance to push

it through.

Four down, with two to

been trailing away as this match has

gone on.

That seems like a fairer

reflection, but I'm not sure about

the 80% per Kim.

Kind of second prize in some ways,

in that he has covered the red with

the yellow guard.

the yellow guard. The could draw

another one, but they do not want

Korea to score, so they have to be

more adventurous, but risk losing

three, in favour of scoring one.

This card will have to be pretty

close.

close.

First things first, they need

to get it in line on the button.

Even if they drift into the first

ring, they are saying the best

chance may be for him to go for the

double and actually stuff it, which

means sticking it to steal victory

that way.

He wants this to come in.

I am surprised they did that after

the last one.

of the game, unfortunately.

It is

this, and it would be 10-5, and I

think it is the handshake.

This

sheet has not been good to them,

they lost to Canada on it. They have

three ends.

We should not take

anything away from Korea. Sometimes

you play well and your opposition

just played better, which is what

has happened here.

You will hear

some great reaction if this is

effectively.

CHEERING I am not sure we will go

much further from here.

CHEERING

I am a little surprised, there are

two ends left.

though they have decided to carry

on.

That is a little surprising, you

do not generally play on if you're

more than four behind, with two to

go.

I do not know what the thinking

is, but it is either, let's finish

this, let's see what happens, it is

not as if Korea have been making

mistakes and they could give up

three, although they took three

there. That would make it 10-8.

Korea with the hammer in the last

end, but surely they will just make

sure they are not going to make any

mistakes. They are sending their

stones through.

Korea know that

everything they put through is

something Team GB could use their

favour so they are not going to give

them the opportunity.

them the opportunity.

We will see

how this develops, it is a tall

order, it is lamenting for them to

claim, and I really am surprised

they are putting themselves through

this.

this. You can see the body language

if you're trying to dangle the hook

for the opposition to make some

mistakes, the British quartet with

very despondent indeed.

It will be a

long 24 hours for them as well, they

do not play in the draw tomorrow

morning, and then they come back for

Italy to night.

Italy to night. They played so well

yesterday against Sweden, it was

their best performance and they were

settled, they have not played badly

at all, just the odd shot.

Wrong

shot at the wrong thing, which has

been capitalised by the Korean team.

terrific shots.

any way.

This is not only defeat to a team

you know can beat, which could be

heavy defeat in the end, the cliche

is that you move on and look at the

next match going forward, but is

there anything you would change? Or

just accept the other team played a

lot better on the day?

I do not

think so, I do not think the Olympic

Games is any time for experimenting

on anything like that, so, it will

be a case of going away and

resetting. The fact they are not

playing tomorrow is up to them how

they make it work for them, but it

could be a good thing. Some things

you want to get out and just forget

it and win the next one and get some

confidence that way. Some things you

need a little more time. The fact

that Korea lost the first four games

make this a little more

disappointing. That there is no

question, if they have played like

this in the first four games, they

would not be 0- for a Mormon.

In the

first match, they only got even 7-6

by Canada. We thought they might

have a good competition, but had

three losses since then, and got

themselves into an unassailable

position against Great Britain.

Sweden looks as if they may be

closing things out against Canada.

It is 5-2 at the final end. I cannot

see them losing that. Norway are

leading Switzerland 5-4. That keeps

Switzerland in the middle of the

pack, meaning they also have three

losses. It means Norway will have

two victories and two losses. All of

these results will be significant.

Japan will move onto two and two if

they were to beat Italy.

they were to beat Italy. Just a

little pack in the middle. If the

results stay that way. There are two

ends to go.

We did get a mistake

from Korea, the first since the

first end! Thomas has played a nice

draw scoring three is not out of the

question.

If results go the way of Great

Britain, they will not be thinking

about that at the moment, but it

will give them something positive

overnight to think about. As long as

it can still be in your own hands,

as long as you can still qualify and

get into the top four.

I am not sure that was the right

shot from Korea.

shot from Korea.

GB will try to

swing another round behind as a

result.

It is easy to lose

concentration when the match is won.

And you might play a couple of

stones you might not have done. They

are clutching at straws a little bit

here, but let's clutch them while

they are kicking around.

A tasty morsel offered up. A couple

of options here, either get rid of

the guard...

This looks like an easy

double to me.

They are going for it. At the start

of the end, they said you do not

want to leave a lot of stones around

when you're winning.

when you're winning.

What did they

decide, just on the nose?

They will

leave a nice pocket for Kyle

leave a nice pocket for Kyle. 71%

for hits.

He is doing what he said he wanted

to do.

that to get behind that guard.

that to get behind that guard.

He

might leave us a triple if we are

lucky.

They are still hoping for a

mistake here as much as anything

else to try and set it up.

else to try and set it up.

Try that?

So back to the original decision, I

think. Tied up between Italy and

Japan, 5-5, Japan with the hammer in

their final end. And they have shook

hands between Sweden and Canada.

Sweden have been victorious. Niklas

Edin, eight confidence boosting win

for the Swedes. They were always the

gold medal favourites, Canada, but

Sweden are capable of toppling them.

That is a nice shot and it is lying

in second shot, which is useful. But

they really need to be scoring three

or four here. And the most they will

be able to score is three.

Tell me if I'm wrong. If I'm Korea

and I think, if Great Britain get

two here, fine. Just take one stone

out. Doesn't matter how or where.

Take one out so they can have three.

Agreed.

I am not sure what the

discussion is about.

If they can get

the yellow stone just played by Kyle

out, it will be nigh impossible for

Team GB to score even a two. I think

they know they have had it, really.

He has played a marvellous game, the

skip.

skip. It just knocks the other

British stone out. He is going to

have a look at it.

have a look at it. He is just

prolonging the inevitable here.

There is not even a shot score two,

I don't think. He has rolled into a

really awkward spot. I think the

handshakes will come.

handshakes will come.

Well, for

Great Britain, this has been a

disappointing match in a sense that

they lose, obviously, but it is more

the manner in which the second half

of the match has gone. After

starting so well here against

Korea... That was a good try. And

the handshakes finally come. Korea

get their first win on the board.

They played superbly well, you have

two handed to them. Kim did a great

job as skip. Smith didn't do too

much wrong and for a lot of the

match, Great Britain were playing

well, but look what this means to

the crowd here.

the crowd here. Korea have now won

one. They have lost four. For Great

Britain, all is not lost. But with

three losses, we can't afford to

lose many more. Korea win this one.

STUDIO: So its surprise defeat from

Smith's rink for Great Britain. We

will be back with all the reaction

from that one. First, where are

going to check in with the women.

They were on the ice earlier today,

Eve Muirhead's rink taking on

Denmark. They went into this one on

the back of two wins and one defeat

and we join the match in the eighth

end with the commentary team of

Jackie Lockhart and Steve Cram.

Now a great opportunity for

Scotland... Scotland! Great Britain.

My apologies. The girls from

Scotland, but they are representing

Great Britain at the Winter

Olympics.

Stirling is a centre of excellence

for curling. They have a good setup

there for men and women.

All of

these girls are full-time athletes,

on the ice every day. At least six

days in the week, they are on the

ice, and they are in the gym,

training as well. They have done a

power of preparation to get here.

It's a long week. You've got to have

endurance and strength. You have to

be able to recover quickly. It is a

lot of work, particularly for the

sweepers. And you have to keep

concentration levels high.

concentration levels high.

A slight

change in tactics there.

change in tactics there. Denmark

have chosen to ignore it.

have chosen to ignore it.

They will

be wanting to do the same if they

can, limit Great Britain to one.

That would mean Great Britain would

carry the hammer into the ninth if

they manage that, but they are up

against it now.

against it now. Still very tight

elsewhere. 4-4, USA against OAR.

That much is coming to an end.

Switzerland 4-3 over Sweden, Japan

5-3 over China. And the USA picked

up one. They did have the hammer

there. So it's 5-4 to the USA. That

one is very tight, similar to this

match.

match. As I say, Sweden have just

gone 6-4 against Switzerland. So

they continued their good form.

Great Britain already have a shot in

the house and they have decided they

have to get round this first. Which

they have done. That was a good

shot. The top part of the circles is

where you want to place it. Anything

behind is not the best for

behind is not the best for you,

especially when Denmark condemned,

and rest on top of it. -- Denmark

can then come and rest on top of it.

They are forcing the issue with

Denmark, keeping the pressure on

them.

Even does have the hammer here. She

has two in the house here. It would

not be easy to take both of them, so

you heard her same to take the top

one.

We will be four games in after this

session. Not all the teams are

playing every session. Canada and

Korea are not playing in this

session. And away the scores are the

moment, if they were to continue,

Japan and Sweden would be undefeated

if they hang onto the leaves they

have at the moment. -- the leaves

they have.

You can't get ahead of yourself in

the week, but you are keeping an eye

on how things are developing.

Yeah,

you always have an eye on teams you

will be playing later in the week to

see how they are progressing and how

their gameplay has been.

Do the

coaches watch the other games?

That

is a very good question. I was about

to say, on the bench the other day,

Kelly Schafer, as much as she

practises at night, she has her

spyglass is out and she is watching

to see other

to see other teams. She checks the

running order of the opposition, how

they have played. All of that

happens.

happens.

A bit too much there from

Vicki Adams.

Vicki Adams. In team sports, you

want to know about the opposition.

All of these teams play each other

regularly and they know each other

well.

well. It is always useful to know

who is playing and what shots they

are favouring.

She did indicate it was wide.

She

played a nice weight, but not the

right line.

Sir Eve wants a hit and

roll in. Anna has played better

today as well.

Anna is the only left-handed player

in the team. It would be nice if she

could catch this and stay in the

house.

house. She has just overthrown that.

That's a shame.

A look at the

heavens from Anna Sloan. That was

not a good shot. Not only did it not

catch that stone, but it took her

own out and the other one that was

lying at the back.

lying at the back. Normally, she

would be happy, she said.

We have

said this all week. We watched the

mixed doubles last week and it was

swinging 6-foot, if not more.

swinging 6-foot, if not more. Then

the team event happened and they

came on with a different set of

stones. That must be a regulation

they have, that the mixed event play

with one set and the teams play with

another. These stones are different.

She overcooked that as well, so that

is a couple of errors.

Both teams

are struggling now.

are struggling now. Let's get this

one right.

one right. Anna Sloan needs to do

what she normally does. Set things

up nicely for Eve Muirhead.

is looking a bit better.

have got their two in. Just the

skips left.

There is an opportunity

here for a skinny double.

gets it wrong, she can hit and roll

on the face of it to sit above it.

But we have set ourselves in a good

position here. We have got two in

the house. They are separated.

Even

if you get one here, there is the

hammer in the final end.

It is key

just to score.

Trying not to leave the double here,

if she can, or at least make it

difficult.

difficult.

Just a nice barrier?

She

has performed well down the last

couple of ends. We're not taking

much ice at all. Holding the broom

at the age of the stone.

You hold your breath at times when

they come down.

On normal

international ice, I would be

expecting it to move a lot, but it

isn't. Well-controlled.

isn't. Well-controlled.

She is just

having another look.

She's looking

to maybe go for the back one and

roll behind it, because there is no

double on there. Even if she tried

to hit the top one, the yellow would

still be closest to the house. Is

she trying the skinny again?

Dangerous. Coming down the centre,

it is not easy to judge this.

it is not easy to judge this. This

can end up to straight. Cubicle,

Denmark trying to take out both of

the British stones. Risky. She maybe

thinks it is time for a high risk

strategy.

Right on the nose. Fairly

straightforward. There is only one

Danish stoneware, it was never

really close. A chance to put some

distance between themselves and then

Mark.

Mark. No mistakes this time. Eve

Muirhead certainly has her game back

together since the halfway point.

Can chief continue that form?

Straightforward shot, hit it on the

nose, and sit in the house.

Great Britain take their two. Nobody

will leads this 7-/ now they will be

this 7-4. Leg well done, that was

important.

important.

Yellow, --, -- yes, all

games are important, but hopefully

this will keep sticking forward and

keep going.

The last few ends, --

the first few ends, things were not

coming together, did you have a good

chat at half time?

Yes, we had a

discussion with our tactical coach,

and we knew what we had to do, and

we knew would not take them lightly.

How were you feeling out there? What

were the conditions like on that

sheet?

The conditions are good idea,

we need to just make sure we deal

with it. All in all, the conditions

are excellent, the ice is fast, and

the crowd is really good.

The crowd

will be allowed to make because

you're playing the whole nation.

It

will be great to have a bit of

atmosphere, and we will use that in

our favour against the Korean team.

Well done to you.

That match takes

place later this morning, 11:05am,

on BBC One. The men have fallen to a

surprise 11-5 defeat against the

host nation, the only qualified

because they are the host nation.

Disappointing for the boys. They

spoke to Steve Cram.

Leg not the

result you wanted.

Disappointed.

That is a game we wanted to win. We

started out well, and just a few key

misses, and let the game go away

from us, to be honest.

Disappointed.

It seemed as though whatever you

did, they had an answer, they were

very good after the first couple of

events.

Yes, I thought we played

well, we just missed shots we could

not afford to miss at the times that

we could afford to miss them. They

are a good team. They had played

some tough games. I do not think we

played badly, we just missed a

couple, and couldn't do it.

What do

you do from here? There are still

plenty matches to come, plenty

chances to win, but what do you do

tonight?

We just need to go back and

re-grip and talk about what

happened, and some of the situations

at the fifth or sixth end, because

that is where the game got away from

us. Still a lot of curling to go,

and still some chances.

Good luck,

see you tomorrow.

Cheers.

If you have just joined us, welcome

to Pyeongchang, the ninth day of the

Winter Olympics.

It is the drama

that sets it apart. If you are on

the wrong side of the drama, it can

be pretty cruel, which is something

Elise Christie knows only too well.

Triple disqualification in all three

of her events four years ago. She

fought back to became world

champion, and came here to

Pyeongchang with the golden hopes of

the nation resting on her shoulders.

But in the 500 metres final,

disaster struck again. Her hand was

clipped going round the corner, and

the race was over. Today she was

back on the ice again, hoping to

take an Olympic medal.

Is this to be her moment?

Having

worked so hard for the 500, it has

just been taken away from me. I know

it is short track and I am supposed

to be prepared for this, but it

still hurts, you know? Right now, I

just can't see living with this

feeling.

That night was obviously pretty

rubbish. But after that, I woke up

and I thought about everything I

said, it is just short track, it is

out of my control, the video shows

it was an accident, nothing I can do

about it. For me, I have focused on

the 1000. I have the 1501st, so I

will see what I can do with that.

The 1000 is the one I will be trying

to get the gold medal.

It seems like

you're very philosophical, and is it

experience helping you get over

this?

Definitely. It was not as

dramatic as Sochi, I could not do

anything about it. As frustrating as

it is, I just have to move forward.

Thanks to everyone who has sent me

some lovely messages and support, it

is amazing. My two heroes, Jessica

Ennis, and Kelly Holmes, they both

sent me a tweet, which is amazing.

Sport is crazy and harsh at times,

but they have gone through things

like this before, and I can get

through this and the other end.

I'm

sure

through this and the other end.

I'm

sure excitement is building down at

the Gangneung arena. I'm joined by

Wilf O'Reilly, joining us from the

arena. Is that excitement building

or is it nervous?

The atmosphere in

the arena, I was here at about two

o'clock this afternoon, and it is

electric.

From the interview we have

just heard, it seems she is in a

good place, she just wants to get

through this and into a final and go

clean.

That is a very professional

approach to go about the race. It is

day three of the short track

competition and she is still without

a medal, so today, just to get in

there and get a medal, staying

relaxed. It was nice to see her

being so confident and relaxed day

after the fall. We have had

experiences from back in Sochi,

where she was really down and she

stayed down, but 24 hours later

after such a devastating evening,

she bounced back, she was on the

ice, she was bubbly and chirpy, and

that was all in her favour.

It is

such a cruel sport at times, short

track, we just saw from

track, we just saw from Elise

Christie, she's out of medical

contention -- in medal contention,

how hard is it to get out there and

start focusing again and hoping it

won't happen again?

At the World

Championships, she would probably

skate in the case of three days,

something in the region of 15

kilometres, the difference here is

that she is having a couple of days

of racing, then two or three days

off, then some days of racing. So

the schedule, she only gets used

aback at the Olympic Games, and the

last thing she did that goes four

years ago in Sochi. It can be

positive or negative. I think today,

looking at what she was saying

yesterday, looking at what she was

doing this morning on the ice, it is

all very positive.

There have been a

couple of medalists for Team GB

since she was out on the ice, the

factory the pressure off? She came

here as the one that everyone was

pinning their hopes on to get

medals. Does that release a bit of

the pressure?

Not just on her, but

on other athletes as well, because

once you have some medals in the

bag, everyone is a bit more relaxed,

and that will boost Elise Christie

for the 1500 metres.

We very much

look forward to it, the heats are

starting at

starting at 10am in the morning.

Very exciting stuff. One of the

biggest stars of the Winter Olympics

got their campaign today. Lindsay

Vonn is one of the greatest skiers

of all time. She won this event in

Vancouver in 2010, and Mr Sochi due

to injury. This could be her Olympic

finale here. Downhill is her best

event, and she would face a stern

test from the World Cup leader. Also

look out for the snowboarder who is

making history being the first ever

compete in snowboarding and skiing

at the same Winter Olympics. It

should be great up at the Alpine

Centre.

The women's Super-G. Vonn is the

biggest name, but there are plenty

with serious chances to get among

the Olympic medals. Much discussion

surrounding her in the build-up to

the Olympic Winter Games.

Today it is the turn of Lindsay to

to turn on the style and bring a

medal to the United States fans.

A good start for her. The starters

at 1100 metres over the course

length of just over two kilometres.

That was absolutely perfect. She's

eating up the ground.

This could take some beating. Vonn

starts at number one. If she

finishes, this could be really hard

to beat.

Vonn was late, that could ruin her

chances of a medal. Show lost all

her speed, and as a result she may

not win a medal. A huge mistake.

Within sight of the finishing line.

It was going so well, then she went

into the soft snow at the side.

If

you come in at speed it is hard, if

you do not then it is not hard.

Next to ski is Johanna Schnarf from

Italy. Not the oldest in the race

but one of the more experienced

athletes today. Just missed a medal

in the Super-G four years ago in

Sochi when she was fourth. Recent

form has given her a place on the

Italian team. She was sixth in Lake

Louise.

Louise. Her first visit to the

podium just prior to the Winter

Olympic Games. That's a wonderful

landing and turn from the Italian.

She's tearing it up. Johanna

Schnarf, barely moved from the tuck

position during that flight at the

end of what was the paradise turned.

She's got the reward for the brave

line. Johanna Schnarf makes a slight

mistake there. Now coming to the

exit of the blue Dragon Valley. As

to finish cleanly. Can't afford any

mistakes. If she gets it right, gold

medal position awaits. 0.18 in front

of Lindsey Vonn. If Schnarf is clean

she can take the lead. She manages

to keep the skis within the blue

racing blame. Has she done enough?

Yes she has. Schnarf into gold for

Italy.

Hi!

The Swiss pocket rocket

is ready to race.

is ready to race. Lara Gut, the best

Super-G skier of the season so far.

She was second in Lake Louise. She

finally got a World Cup medal. She

missed most of last season with an

injury. Not before she'd taken a

medal. Lara Gut on her way in the

Olympic Super-G.

Olympic Super-G. Lara Gut is one of

the biggest sporting 's stars in

Switzerland.

Switzerland. 40.93 for Lara Gut...

Now, what can she do on the bottom

part of this course? She was the

bronze medallist at the World

Championships in St

Championships in St Moritz and the

bronze medallist in the downhill

four years ago in Sochi. She's got

to finish with

to trouble the top of the

leaderboard. She's slightly late in

the line, drifts out beyond the blue

racing. Over the tales of her skis.

She's lucky to still be standing.

She skis into gold! Lara Gut leads

the way by four hundredths per

second. A risky finish but has

brought her the lead in the Olympic

Super-G. What a spectacular jump.

Landed on the inside ski and then

jammed the of that right ski into

the snow. That was her final jump.

Lara Gut has never won an Olympic

gold, maybe today. Tina Weirather,

great friends and training partners

with Lara Gut. Or she was until this

season. Tina Weirather has employed

the services of one of the leading

Austrian coaches. Her dad was a

multiple World Cup winner for the

Austrian team. Her mum a multiple

Olympic champion. It is in the

colours of her parents that she

races.

giant slalom two days ago but this

is where is she really finds her

feet. She's 11 hundredths in front

of Lara Gut. Might have just lost

that lead their rant then. She's

getting bumped around, sent to the

sides of the track when she least

needs it. 11 hundredths

needs it. 11 hundredths behind at

the last intermediate. Then she made

the error. This time she's got five

hundredths to play with. Lara Gut

Weirather into gold. Federica

Brignone from Italy, bronze

medallist in the giant slalom, has

been a World Cup winner in Super-G

this season. She won in Austria on

the 14th of January. Her mother was

a talented alpine skier, winning

four World Cup slalom competitions

in the late 70s and early 80s.

That's a nice turn. Did she time it

correctly. Federica Brignone the

the final third of this track to

push for a medal. Weirather leads.

Brignone has had a pretty solid run.

She's managed to make up some time.

It is clean and accurate and all of

a sudden they are all paying

attention at the base of the Olympic

Super-G tracked because the Italian

is flying along. A great jump from

Brignone. Brignone skis into fourth.

Relief for Weirather. She jumps for

joy. Brignone lets out a scream of

disappointment.

for Germany. She could change

things. Olympic slalom champion in

2010. She's off to a flyer. Easy,

relaxed style. But that relaxed

style disguises her commitment and

speed across the snow which is

immense. Three times World Cup
