It means a record-equalling medal tally of five for Team GB, which already secured three golds, more than at any other winter Games, as well as a silver in the men’s curling on Saturday. The haul of five medals was also achieved in 2014 and 2018. Image: Zoe Atkin competing in the women’s freestyle skiing halfpipe in Livigno.

Opting for a cheap projector is just fine, but it won’t be as good of a quality resolution or as easy to set up and control as a more expensive one.  The Samsung Freestyle 2 projector is an expensive projector at $800, but its high-tech specs and portability understandably justify the price tag. However, this high-quality projector is currently $200 off at Amazon as a Presidents’ Day deal. Also: The best Presidents’ Day deals we’ve found so far I personally tried and tested this projector, and it’s worth the money–especially when you consider that it also serves as a gaming console.  The Freestyle 2 comes with the Samsung Gaming Hub, which allows you to play games just the Freestyle 2, internet access, and game controller.

Freestyle skiing-Australia’s Anthony earns redemption with dual moguls gold

Published by Sam Flores

LIVIGNO, Italy, Feb 14 : Australia’s Jakara Anthony won the gold medal in the women’s freestyle skiing dual moguls at the Winter Olympics on Saturday, redeeming herself after a disappointing loss three days earlier in the single-format moguls.  Anthony, 27, became the first Australian to earn two Winter Olympics gold medals when she overtook American Jaelin Kauf under heavy snow in the northern Italian town of Livigno. Kauf earned silver, and bronze went to fellow American Elizabeth Lemley. “This one is really different to the last one because I picked this up after the heartbreak of the other day,” Anthony said of her new medal. Dual moguls is a new sport at the Olympics, pitting skiers together in a head-to-head elimination format in which two competitors race side-by-side through parallel bump fields. Speed counts, but so do turns and aerial manoeuvres.  Anthony crossed the finish line a fraction of a second before Kauf but had to wait for the judges’ final assessment. She smiled and pumped her arms in the air when she saw she …
