The second round of 2014's epic Crashed Ice season takes place at the popular Saint Paul downhill track, where champion Derek Wedge will continue to try and defend his title. More than 100,000 spectators are anticipated to brave the freezing temperatures to watch the brilliant high-speed heats and cheer on the daring racers as they hit the jumps and avoid the obstacles to win the race, and attempt to take victory in the event as a whole. With only four rounds this year, every single race counts.

OMG WE FORGOT!!
christine is asleep now, but i'm staying up. cheers janna.
You forgot Crashed Ice??
If Scotty wins and she sleeps through it you will not be popular
completely! overdid it on the olympics today maybe.
That means you can blame Amy
she has study to do though. best not to wake her, but now i'm rooting for him to lose just in case. #confidential
Blamy
YEAH!
I have watched no Olympics but have been out drinking (& eating) so I may sleep at random points.
I've been drinking red wine and rocking an 80s Spotify playlist. I kind of don't want to turn it off but it'll run out in half an hour.
Evening all :)
according to twitter black sambuca. how can you possibly be commenting coherently?!
yo!
You have no idea how many times I am correcting my typing
:)
That's risky
I did tell the people I was out with that I had to be home in time for Crashed Ice. Trying to explain what it is to blokes who have been in the pub watching the rugby is challenging
basically downhill hockey with an invisible puck.
If they'd been there for both games that was 12 hours ago. And I bet they were on the beers from the start :)
We are live - Felix
20s countdown.
This courselooks very good on the preview
didn't catch the preview. good course?
points for steven.
I am psychic now
False start! I've never seen that before.
Very drunk was the polite term
False start. Don't think I have ever seen that before
Points to me
shortest points lead in commenting history.
Hairpin
Love this course, much longer than the last one
Dallago wins heat 1 easily
Gerlach second
Last one was too short. This one has a few innovative features
Ouch on that fall :/
Urban in this heat
Quick too
Love the hairpin followed by the rollers
nice that runners can recover from a bad start here.
Nasz in this heat
owns it.
Naasz wins playing to the crowd.
This looks like it will be a great course when we have 4 good guys in a race
They're really struggling with that first drop, aren't they?
Derek Wedge world champ this time
told ya we missed you during the last event.
Wow, fall at the line
I love that the apex of the hairpin is a swinging punchbag. May see interesting tactics
And that one guy not getting over that bump
I saw a pre-season preview and I was shocked that he won it last year. I was convinced Kyle Croxall had
year before wasn't it?
wedge out
Yes
Wow. Wedge was the faller. (I had the music a touch too loud..)
No title this year
Witty had a lead but slowed at the end. I think he made it through
Witty's brother makes a great start and falls on his face
I was confused for a second but there are two Wittys
Yep
Hanson and Kolc go through
Witty fell on his back not his face
Only one Witty goes through
Gagnon wins appropriately and Mika is second
Don't do Finnish surnames that long
de Paoli in this heat
Not enough consonants Miikka
Still waiting to hear "Gladiators Ready"
dePaoli and Haywood go through
Finnish names are problematic. Shame R2 doesn't race any more
looks like wedge is going the same way. hard sport to keep up with i guess.
Another Dallago
I think HEIKKKILÄ is my favourite from a spelling POV. So many K's
Both Dallagos into the next round
3 ks in a row is just wrong. I think his father couldn't spell
Wouldn't surprise me if we had a Dallago/Croxall final one day
Lavrov and Mels. This should be fun
Hah love the guy kayaking over the line
Mels showing serious racecraft
Great attitude for someone who kust lost
Skube
Dugeril and Skube through
3 of them had knees touch the ground on one jump
Scotty #confidential
never heard of anyone else in this round.
Me neither
Scotty cruises in to win
Did Scotty check a big screen there?
Neify. One day he will win again. Maybe
possibly. f1 style.
On the replay he looked 90 degrees left
Niefy wins
Neifnecker through. Lucky to win that but was going to qualify anyway
Some bloke called Kyle in this one
Kyle wins. Didn't recognise any other names though
Bruno Richard sounds kinda familiar
Awesome view

Round of 64 done
panda!
Heheh. Sign: 'I'm Not Even Cold'
this city was born to host crashed ice.
I thought I saw one but it was so quick I thought I was seeing things
janna... see any panda's?
#sambuca
There is is :)
Sorry, no pandas, was off making lemon & ginger tea #sobering up
Someone broke the course there!
didn't realise helsinki was a natural track.

hehehehe
no-one told wedge that he's out? or is this old footage.
Purpose built permanent track
ah-ha.
on a hill though I think
I remember those very classy eagle trophies
I'm not a fan of this guy. He says "gnarly" too often...
red bull media house have not got their live broadcast volume sussed at all.
Love the helmet cam
Thinks he's Californian or something
Every time they play the trailer thin at the start of a round the volume goes through the roof
...and of course he doesn't say it once this time. He said it twice in one sentence in the preview!
When I had music on earlier I had to turn it right down to get it below the low level of this
yes! and again with claudio's bit.
there are new loudness limits for broadcast tv this year (to stop adverts being louder than shows), i guess they haven't caught up.
Dallago and Taru go through
Dallago well out in front
Marco Dallago and Taru are through
I know they brought in a law about that in America a couple of years ago
I spt a go pro on his head
not sure how it applies to internet streaming, maybe not required. seems sensible to adopt it tho.
Naasz in this heat
Naasz and Alanis go through
Kolc and a Witty this time
Kolc is out!
Tyler Witty wins and Whiting go through
Miiiikkkka in next race
DePaoli out. That's a shock
He wins and Haywood is second
Luca Dallago from Mels and Lavrov
Lavrov out
120,000 people in the crowd
120,000 spectators.
amazing.
damnit
:)
Horst dumped on the ground
Schmitt from Dugerdil.
Horst out
Niefy aganst Scotty
c'mon neify.
*ahem*
That worked well
Fell and dead last
Bergeson wins with Scotty second
ha! :D
double damnit
:)
Scotty looking left again. Not sure if it was the same point on the track
just realised this isn't live on btsport.
that didn't last long.
Kyle v Braun
Both easily through
What are they showing instead? Not much live sport at 2:15 am...
ufc and a repeat of a premiereship game.
ufc prelims as well
I didn't even think to look. It isn't in Sunday's listings either.
In America Fox is showing it on Monday night
was a fraction ahead of the flash stream before, but the ads made it unwatchable.
Croxall v Croxall in QF
beer run brb.
Dancing referees
Don't touch the cooker
More tea for me!
would you believe i have a special beer fridge, to keep me away from everything else?
:D
Nothing on BT for Monday
Excellent ;)
That wasn't meant to be a wink but a normal smiley
I like the idea of 6 people going on the team event from 4 starting slots
I'm tired / wined enough to make typos. Should I finish the bottle..
1st QF
M Dallago from Naasz
Dallago and Naasz take the first quarter final
raises a glass.
Same second
Don't understand the necessity of the question ;)
:)
Haywood fell at the back
Whiting wins from Mikkkka
:D
Luca Dallago should have had an easy win but blew it.
Luca Dallago should've had that
Mels and Schmidt through
Mels wins from Scmitt
Love the photo finish poses
Final QF
Crox vs Croxy
2x Croxalls & Braun
Kyle out
Scotty wins
Bergeson second
Kyle out
wow
Wow, Bergesen beats Kyle AND Braun. Scott wins.
Don't think I've seen the name Bergesen before.
There are two of them
Yet more brothers.
Great interview *rolls eyes*
none the wiser.
We need a brothers championship. Although I have a feeling I know who would win it
This guy is hopeless. If he was my coach he would demotivate me
They ought to brake earlier and cut inside the punchbag. Shortcut.
Semi Final 1
M Dallago
Whiting
Mikkkkkka
Naasz
Naasz should be favourite to win this race
closely matched up front.
Naasz from M Dallago
Semi Final 2
Scotty
Mels
Schmitt
Bergeson
Mels and Schmitt crash
Scotty wins from Bergeson
great race.
Bergeson into his first final
Semis have been really good.
Great comeback from Scott
Final result prediction?
Final
Naasz
M Dallago
Scotty
Bergeson
bergeson is on fire. gotta be his day/
Naasz
Scotty might've used up a bit of energy making a point of beating Bergeson there
I think Scotty has been the best of them all tonight so I will tip him
I really have no idea, would like Croxall
Bikes!
Bikes
I'm going for Dellago
ali g...
Ali G's going down the course on a BMX in a clown costume!?
That 90 degree right downhill should be a guaranteed crash.
Don't fancy their chance on the uphil if they don't make the jump
Hah that was good.
Ali G got knocked over..
That was an interesting option. 3 out of 4 crashed at the end because they can't brake
The only guy who stayed on the bike slid it under braking one handed
Love the breaks between rounds. Have made tea, taken off make up & got into PJs ready for bed. Bring on the final!
'He'll win only by the hair on his chinny chin chin'
I got the cheese out to go with the wine
:0 :)
Starting to doubt that I'll be up at 9 to see the bobsleigh
I'm wondering if I'll be up at 12.00 to let the nice man from Tesco deliver my food!
Great start by Naasz
wow
Wowee. What a race.
Naasz goes down. Bergeson down right at the end
Great final
Dallago and Naasz so close!
Naasz falls
M Dallago wins
Scotty second - never looked like winning
so much speeeeeeeed at the start.
Scotty made a poor start. He made great starts all night except in the final
Look at the state of the track as well, very messy
I hope they use some of the new track features again
enjoyed that big time.
Marco winning on two very different tracks, bring on Moscow
Dallago is knackered
Thanks for the company all, off to bed now. See you in a couple of weeks xx
Huge points lead for Dallago. 700 points
Good night Janna
I love the oil drum podium
cheers for the reminder ;)
http://live.redbull.tv/ schedule says 3.45pm on the 8th in Moscow.
And next Saturday the return of Red Bull Air Race in Abu Dhabi, that's live as well, midday.
Hope to be able to see them.
Bad timing for me but great to see the air races back. Absolutely great event
Yeah there's a chance I may be away next weekend but we'll see. Hope they get back on TV too.
Thanks for the thread, great event. :)
& the company
cheers all, catch ya tomorrow for more olympics.
Really enjoyed that. See you all tomorrow
Oops, forgot about this. Oh well, the next one is in a more Christine-friendly timezone. Well done Scotty, and Mr C, we'll have words!
