elsewhere in pyeongchang, britain's dom parsons put himself in contention to win great britain's firstgames at the halfway stage of the men's skeleton. he lies in fourth place going into tomorrow's final runs. earlier, i asked alex coomber — who won skeleton bronze in salt lake in 2002 — just how he'll be able to grab a medal. he's literally three hundredths of a second behind third. it is absolutely nothing. he is driving the track really well and making up so the track really well and making up so much time down the track. at the moment, he's losing on his start. if he can gain a better the start, he will make the break and get into the top three no problem. what will be going through his head sitting at the top of the course, thinking of the top of the course, thinking of the possibility of a medal? he won't think about it at all. he'll try to perfect everything as he goes down the track and bend by bend, carved by cars. making no mistakes. —— curve by curve. hopefully his times will speakfor curve by curve. hopefully his times will speak for themselves. the women's event will be be
