We can chat about whatever you want. As long as it's Olympics related.
0935: BBC co-commentator Patrick Winterton makes an interesting point. He says with the race running from 0930 to about 1215 the air temperature and thus the snow temperature will change during the race, and therefore the skis (and primarily the bases) they set off on will not run as well later on. Hence the reason they are allowed to change skis.
0930: And they're off! The field set off at a rate of knots, given they've got 50km to go. "This is going to be a gold medal won the hard way," says bouncy BBC commentator Rob Walker.
0915: Morning gang, and welcome to the final day of the Winter Olympics. Don't flag on me now, we need a big last push. Let's kick off with the men's 50km mass start cross country, mainly because that's first. World Cup leader Petter Northug of Norway is looking to end his Olympic campaign with a second gold after his success in the team sprint. Other names to look out for are the Czech Republic's Lukas Bauer and overall World Cup champion Dario Cologna of Switzerland, who won the 15km individual.
It's a damp, cloudy day in Whistler and the technicians are finishing off preparing the ski bases. But interestingly, the racers can change their skis three times so suit the conditions. The course is five laps of 10km, so the athletes will pass the stadium five times.
