I know that I'm posting this one pretty early, but I want to make sure that I get it up in time in case I oversleep today, and it also gives people a chance to plan their viewing. Great Day 2 for Canada yesterday with 3 Silver Medals and 1 Bronze, chances for more medals to be won today.

At 17:00 the Mixed Doubles Curling Semi Final against Norway will begin on TSN (it should be 1, 3, and 4, might be on CBC as well). Norway was the only team to beat Lawes and Morris (who have won 6 in a row since) in the round robin but required a tie breaker match against China to get into the Semi Final. For anyone who missed their personal information from a few days ago Lawes is from Winnipeg and won a Gold Medal in Sochi as the third for Jennifer Jones team. Morris, who lives in Canmore and is a firefighter with the Rocky View County Fire Service, won a Gold Medal in Vancouver as the third for Kevin Martin’s team.

Beginning at 18:00 the Final for the Women’s Slopestyle Event begins. Due to this event being cancelled yesterday due to the weather there will be no qualifying round, everyone in the event has a shot at the podium. Brooke Voight of Fort McMurray will be competing in her first Olympic games. Spencer O’Brien will be competing in her 2nd Olympics. 21-year-old Laurie Blouin will be boarding in her first Olympics, Blouin won the Gold Medal in this event at last year’s FIS World Championships.

Today sees the first run of the Ladies Giant Slalom event take place at 18:15, hopefully the weather will cooperate and there won’t be any delays. 27-year-old Erin Mielzynski is competing in her 3rd Olympic games and finished in 21st in this event in Sochi.
