Will CCTV pick up any of this or do you think they will hold it over for a later time slot (since it's, what, the middle of the night in China?). They have women's luge, which i assume is live, on there now.

thanks for starting, childfreegirl - it took me a while to find the audia within Eurosport site. It's tricky & takes several steps. Sounds like Verner is doing a decent job so far. I was amazed that NBC showed his SP the other night!!!

Lindemann - The Big Bounce

quad...shades of 2 nights ago

3 ax - 3 toe next.....little off axis...2bled the 3toe.

doubled out of 3loop

3 flip-3 toe turned into a miss on the first jump

3 lutz - maybe 2 foot?...all over the place, I'm afraid

Even the 3 sal is beyond him tonight...sympathetic applause...
[oh no...]

A shadow of himself, I'm afraid.

Looks like CCTV-5 coverage might be starting. During Lindemann's skate, a replay of some of Plush's SP just came on. Fingers crossed.

Frau, I'll just let you take it today, if you don't mind since I expect to get interruptions shortly. Work, work, work.

YEAH for CCTV-5! My only regret is the slight delay. I would love to have the CCTV-5 video + Eurosport audio if they were synched. Oh well - if wishes were horses.....

Doggygirl - I succeeded in getting CCTV-5 too & turned it off because of delay AND frequently-frozen screen. The Eurosport audio is crisp, clear & easier to 'translate' for readers. Thanks for the tip, though. [I'll rely on the video sites to see the vids sharply later.]
