This course is insane. Just watching the boarder solo runs competing for starting positions. Already two crashes and they haven't started the event proper yet.
This looks unnecessarily dangerous to me.

That's easy. The IOC will then offer the Gold to any skiers named Emily who should have been at the Games... but the BOA will turn the medal down on the grounds that it's not credible... :evil:
But back to reality... Zoe Gilling's in the third quarter final and needs to finish in the top 3 to progress to the semis. Given the "rate of attrition" we've seen in previous games, she's gotta be in with a shout... GO ZOE!

It does look fairly "exciting" but fingers crossed for no more crashes (well, injuries at least).

What happens if no one finishes one of the heats?

Ah damn that was close... Most exciting heat so far though. Zoe must be gutted but a good run.

Happy to still be alive...
Exciting racing though; enjoyed that. Looking forward to the Men's event tomorrow.

He men's event is likely to be closer, with more potential for crashes.
