I'm so stoked for Francesca Lollobrigida, Italy's speed skating queen! She totally smashed her way to gold with that Olympic record time. It's like she had the ice gods on her side 
. But you know what's even more impressive? Team GB in curling - they're on fire right now! 
They seem so chill under pressure, and it's paying off big time. Those Swiss folks better watch out if they wanna take down the Brits in the semi-finals... 
. And curling? really? a bunch of guys throwing rocks at each other? 
it's actually kinda fascinating once you get into it tho, the strategy & teamwork is pretty interesting.
. And don't even get me started on the names of these athletes... Francesca Lollobrigida sounds like a Bond villain 
. I'm not really sure how that game happened, but I guess they just had a super cool team vibe or something 
. And Team GB is looking pretty strong with their curling skills too... I wonder what's gonna happen against Switzerland in the semi-final? 
, like Francesca Lollobrigida's win was insane! she totally destroyed the competition and set a new record time 
. Norway's Ragne Wiklund put up a good fight tho, can't blame her for that 
, their last end game against the USA was so clutch! Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat are straight fire 
winning gold with a sick record time! and i feel bad for Ragne Wiklund & Valerie Maltais but they still did amazing 
they got that semi-final spot 2 games to spare!! Switzerland better watch out though 
3,000m is a huge distance, so congrats on that Olympic record time 
. Norway's Ragne Wiklund came close with her second-place finish 
Their focus on tomorrow for Jen Dodds is super inspiring 
. And let's not forget Isabella and Rasmus Wranaa from Sweden boosting their chances with that 9-4 win against Italy 
. More great moments in Italy! 
. Norway's Ragne Wiklund putting up a good fight is cool too, but gotta give props to Canada's Valerie Maltais for snagging bronze 
.
. Norway's Ragne Wiklund was close tho, and Canada's Valerie Maltais took bronze which is still super impressive 
. And can we talk about how chill Jen Dodds seems? She's all about focus on tomorrow 
. Anyway, gotta keep an eye on Sweden and Czech Rep too, they're giving it their all 
... what I found most amazing was Francesca Lollobrigida's Olympic record time – 3:42.13! Mind-blowing, right?
