I do apologise for not doing things over the weekend but here is my blog on day 3

American Mancuso was the fastest in the women’s combined downhill run 1 followed by Germanys Gut in second place

In the team figure skating final rank Russia got the gold followed by Canada wit silver and the USA with the bronze medal

 

 

In the ski jumping German Froyd had a bit of an accident as the way that he landed had to hurt as he tried to jump that little bit further than he should have. To make the hill it costs them 50 million dollars I hope that they are able to make the money back

I feel that defining jumping by points rather than by distance make things fare but I also think that the harsh reality of sport should be thought of too  

Kamil Stoch won the gold medal in the Hemil Stoysch of Slovenia took silver and Anders Bardel of Norway took the bronze medal

I like the short track speed skating as I feel that there is a high quality high passed sport that anyone can win and I think it works very well as there can be accidents as the racers take on the corners and come out of them  

In the men’s 1500 metres short track speed skating Charles Hamelin of Canada got the gold Tianyu Han of china got the silver and Victor An of Russia got the bronze but you have to have sympathy for Jack Wheelbourne who twisted his ankle from a move made by Han who received silver

The women’s alpine combined is a sport that makes me ask how do you know you can do this. Because it does seem that the aim is t hit the sticks and make them move and when you are skiing at such a pace and have to move from point to point and having to move your body so it moves with the angles

Maria Hoefl-Riesch from Germany won the gold medal in the ladies super combined in silver is Nicole Hosp of Austria and the winner of the downhill get the bronze Julia Mancuso of the United States of America

I am not the biggest fan of biathlon but I can see the interest as one of the main things you have to do is control your heart rate as you have to run and keep it up and when you shoot you have to calm it down

 

Getting the gold  in the men's 12.5 kilometre pursuit the gold medal was given to  Frenchman Martin Fourcade the silver going to O Moravec and the bronze to JG Beatrix of France
