Unfoprtunately, the Downhill is the same or similar time as Snowboard cross and cross country skiing.
And I want to watch all 3 
Snowboard cross is only qualification at the same time. 1/8, quarter and semi finals start at 9:45 easy choice for me.
And the cross country schedule is quite large. (For me the mass starts on Day 16&17 are the ones i can't miss).
On the other hand, as the main event of the games the downhill will be repeated several times on the red button and on BBC2.
Ah I see, the BBC lists it as Medal Rounds from 10PM, when infact it is Quarter Finals onwards, Excellent
Ill await the release of more detailes start times for the Downhill before judging if/how to watch the cross country skiing

Errr, Defago, Svindal, Miller underdogs? You dont usually watch alpine skiing?
Defago won the most prestige races Wengen and Kitzbühel last year.
Svindal already was world champion in downhill. Same for Miller
and finally an olympic downhill medal for Miller. |

Valverde321 is probably victim of North America sport chauvinism. Tour de France is only byking race etc. No offence |

So it looks as if Defago has won, but i'm still watching just in case the unlikely happens!

I find it really quite dull how all the medals are basically decided with 50% of people still to start.

well it's because spots 8-20 are the best spots to start becasue before peple can report on the course and then later on the course kinda gets wrecked more or less so the best skiers go in that 8-20 start spots.

Actually, the priority list was more like:
Top 7 - 16-22
Next 7 - 8-15
Rest of the Top 30 - Split between 1-7 and 23-30

I know what they do, it just means that the second half of the event is not worth watching
