US mixed doubles curling had a really good day on Friday, defeating Canada 7-5 and, later, Czechia 8-1 to go 4-0 in the competition. While everyone is having to learn the idiosyncrasies of the new stones Thiesse and Dropkin seemed to master the stones by their 4th game. They seem to be able to hit any shot they wanted/needed. Saturday's games are against 4-0 Great Britain and lowly 0-4 South Korea.

Italian coverage continues to be incomprehensible and thus excellent. Plus they are running the English graphics so I know where we are in events. Best of both worlds.

Summary of Italian TV ads:

• No military bullshit
• Very few guns
• Very little violence
• Lots of skin
• Really, really white

As much as I hate snowboarding the speed events like the GS are pretty cool.

The M and W Parallel Giant Slalom snowboard semis, bronze, and gold were great. The drone coverage is spectacular.

How long have they posted the aggregate technical during the free skate? That's pretty interesting and it helps shut the announcers up. Was it CYA after the last bribery/cheating judging scandal.
