Czech athlete Ester Ledecka has got to be the story of the games so far

Ledecka is a World Champion Snowboarder, she entered the women's Super G downhill skiing and had to borrowed a pair of skis from a American Skiier.

She's the first athlete to compete in snowboarding and skiing in the same Olympics.

NBC, thinking no-one outside of the top 20 would medal, named Anna Vieth of Austria the gold medallist prior to Ledecka's run.

Ledecka produced the run of her life to pip Veith by one one-hundreth of a second and claim gold.

You've just got to see her face at the end of her run, just staring at the clock, in disbelief at what she'd just done.

Two yellows. Both cynical. No idea what I was thinking about for the second. Cost us the game too. Idiot
I saw the highlights on Facebook. Did you get booked for the foul they scored the 3rd goal from? If so that was ridiculously soft and it didn't even look like a foul.

Saw a great apartment on the weekend and thought we'd apply on the off-chance we could get it - since it'll let me have my dog with me - and just found out we got approved! Sucks a bit since we have to break our lease at our existing place, so bit of a cash flow issue which will be annoying to smooth out, but pretty #excitingtimes!!

Well done mate. Fantastic news.

Is this to rent or buy? I am guessing rent since you said you got approved.

Cool! Enjoy it mate. When will you move in?
This Sunday, thankfully got a bunch of mates happy to help so we don't have to worry about any moving costs, and it's about a two minute drive from our current place so should be able to shuttle everything across pretty easily.

It's my birthday the weekend after, which is when we're planning to introduce my dog to the place so will be a pretty awesome birthday present.

The argument for the return of the death penalty has Exhibit A.
Then again the person responsible likely won't last long in prison before meeting the same end.
If you've ever seen one of those America's Hardest Prisons docos as soon as the inmates learn someone was a child abuser they go after him. Weird sense of "justice" they have.

They really do, it's cool to rape and murder fully grown adults. But then they find some kind of moral compass when children are involved. Bit bizarre.

I think it's because a lot of them have young children themselves.

Not that that makes it any better of course.

Oh and 20th of April, all teachers and children are apparently walking out of schools and not returning until something is done about the gun laws in the US.

Could be a crazy standoff if it really happens.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if the USA banned education before they banned guns
