Live: Gold medal winner Cooper Woods back in dual moguls

Bree Walker will have to have a blinder to win a monobob medal from here. She currently sits in 11th place after the first heat.

Last Games in Beijing, she was 12th after the first run and managed to battle back to fifth. But a medal looking really unlikely.

Still, we’re all behind her.

Cooper Woods will join countryman Jackson Harvey in the round of eight after not facing an opponent (a bye).

Aussie Jackson Harvey with some textbook skiing has beaten Japan’s Fujiki Goshin of Japan to make it to the next stage.

He’ll now head back to the top of the slopes for the round of eight.

Ok, time to lock in Australia!

Cooper Woods is back in action after his gold in the men’s moguls for the men’s dual moguls. You may remember the event from Jakara Anthony winning gold in it yesterday in the women’s!🥇

Woods will be competing in the green and gold alongside Matt Graham, Jackson Harvey and George Murphy.

Great question, Alison!

So, for Winters, it’s pretty mixed all the way.

All the different disciplines are pretty spaced out – you get alpine all the way through, cross county and biathlon have a heap of events that stretch out.

Then a lot of the team events that have round robin or prelim stages, ice hockey, curling, etc, will start to medal in the second week.

Aussie Bree Walker has had her first run in the women’s monobob.

Just nicked the edges twice and had a few mistakes here and there to finish with a time of 1:00.19. She would have been hoping to get the run in within 60 seconds, but there’ll be plenty to take away from that first run for her next one.

She’s currently sitting third out of three competitors (she went second).

There are two Aussies in action at 8pm, in just over five minutes.

• Bree Walker – ‘Bobsled Bree’ – in the monobob first heat
• Phoebe Heaydon in the women’s giant slalom first run 

Can I get an Aussie Aussie Aussie?

Just a PSA: The men’s snowboard slopestyle qualifiers have been shifted from tomorrow to today as they’re expecting 1.5 metres of snow tomorrow when they were originally scheduled.

Let’s hope our reporters over there have their biggest and warmest snow jackets ready to tackle this week.

(Go Australia!!!!)

“He came from nowhere!!!!” my friends collective texted me after 25-year-old Cooper Woods from Meriumbula became an expected Winter Olympics champion last week.

Woods claiming the gold medal in the men’s mogul event in Livigno.

The surprise came as he doesn’t have the same track record (well not anymore) of success as his peers at the highest level.

Beside him in the super final was Mikaël Kingsbury, who has won 100 FIS World Cup events, Ikuma Horishima 24, Matt Graham five and Walter Wallberg four. Meanwhile, Woods has just one silver medal to his name.

Now, he’s Australia’s seventh Winter Olympics champion – ever.

And he’s back on the slopes men’s dual moguls in just over in hour.

Hello all and welcome to our Winter Olympics for day nine of the event. Can you believe we’re already at day NINE?

And who would have through we’d have more golds than Canada at this stage (sorry Canadians, we love you).

I hope you’re ready for an evening/early morning of green and gold cheer.

There’s plenty of Aussies in action, including Cooper Woods in the moguls, Tess Coady in the snowboard and Bree Walker in the monobob.

Alright, grab a cuppa.
