カーリング女子,序盤はスウェーデンデンマークに連敗スタート。
正直,デンマークには勝ちたかったところ。
日本時間で明日の午後5時まで試合がないので,リフレッシュして,
スイス,アメリカ戦に臨んで欲しい。

スノーボード女子スノーボードクロスシーディング,吉田蓮生選手は急遽,
参加が決まってのオリンピック出場。大学生がこの時期に急遽,参戦は
大変だったと思います。タイムトライアル,2回滑って,28位で決勝へ。
TVerの英語実況で視聴しました。吉田選手,決勝1回戦,4着でしたが,
途中,先頭に肉薄した場面もありました。
4年後にこの悔しさをつなげてほしいですね。

明日未明,フィギュアスケート男子フリーとスノーボード男子ハーフパイプ
日本がメダル取れそうなこれらの競技が午前3時頃から始まり,
パラレルで追いかけなくてはならないのは少し残念なところだ。
