    The sliding track is the place to be this evening in Cortina.

    All lit up set above the town, you can hear the announcer from all the way down there.

    This corner of the track is nicknamed ‘coaches corner’ because it’s such a good vantage point for watching the sliders come round that they seem to all gather here.

    It’s not a bad view.

    A relieved figure of Riccardo Lorello, he must have assumed that he had lost the top spot there.

    It doesn't look like it's going to be Felix Bloch's weekend.

    The veteran German, winner of this event at the 2010 and 2014 Games and the leader in this season's World Cup standings, finishes with the quickest of his three runs with a time of 53.160 seconds.

    The 36-year-old remains in eighth though, having not closed the gap to the leaders.
