It's not later in the week, it's in 2014!
They alternate freestyle/classic between Olympics for some insane reason.

Yup that's it. Unless she's in the team event.

That woman sprinter from Slovakia that fell down a raveen earlier today in warmups and went to the hospital for x-rays....comes back and runs four seperate sprints and gets a bronze in the final.

Unbelievable.

Pretty amazing stuff, her fall was almost comical...it's going to end up in a big chief segment at the Dome eventually. Amazing she got back into it.

FYI, she's from Slovenia, not Slovakia.

Either too fast or not the right line...the physcological factor of being outside the "recommended" blue line at best slows them down, at worst, screws them up so bad that they push too hard later on and bail...at least 3 have bailed after this point so far.
Plus, the fact that so many have crashed has to get some of the later skiiers thinking about it...and maybe the course conditions have slightly changed too over the past hour.
The blue lines are on the course to help the skiers see the undulations/bumps in the snow.
