Congrats to the GB Womens curling team, just beat China 5-4.

Exciting game, have the skiing on HD on the lappy. Gotta love fast broadband!

great stuff from Ben Kilner there - qualified for semi finals. Awesome stuff from a guy who comes from a country without a single halfpipe!

That Aono Ryo gave White a run for his money. I'm not an SW hater but not everyone has their own private HP to practise in.

Good work Aono.

Big lead after the first run - wonder if anyone will be able to step up in the second

Ed said in the commentary that Shawn White invented the double cork last May. Was it not around long before that??

I'm sure they were done many moons ago on a video part.... I think Ed was appealing to the audience with that one.

It was a German guy at a big air back in '06.....

Travis Rice did the first backside version......

I think White was the first to add Cab, 1080 and a mop of Ginger hair to the trick though???

Why has nobody yet mentioned the french teams inked on moustaches? By far my favourite moment of the Olympics so far!
