More Glitches

- Fatality at the sliding centre.
- Problem with the torch lighting.
- Weather
- Faux-Zambonis at speed skating.

The latest today came at biathlon where in both the women's and men's pursuit events athletes were not released at the proper times.

In the biathlon sprint events last weekend, medals were awarded and athletes seeded for today's pursuit events. The leader of each event went off first with all the other competitors starting as far back as the deficit from the sprint event....or so it was supposed to be. In the women's event an athlete went too early and in the men's event Canadian Jean-Philippe Leguellec and American Jeremy Teela were both released too early. These mistakes did not impact the final standings as none of the competitors were in contention, but the attention to detail should be thorough in order to limit these problems.

What's next?
