USA has pulled ahead of Russia and now leads 4-1 after 4 in women's curling. Americans looking for first and a needed win.

A reminder that the women's slopestyle skiing qualification runs will begin in about 5 minutes.

Good luck to all the ladies about to drop for slopestyle qualifying and finals! #teamusa @KeriHerman @dlogan @juliakrass

by Nick Goepper via twitter 2/11/2014 6:00:39 AM
Let's do this! Zuzana Stromkova (SVK) making history dropping on course first-ever women's freestyle ski #slopestyle in the #Olympics !

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:00:48 AM
Zuzana Stromkova took a 720 HUGE over the final hit but slipped out and down the landing. 1 more qualifier run for her to make it up

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:02:04 AM
Women's slopestyle qualifications are off. Sport making its Olympic debut

by Ross Maghielse via Digital First Media 2/11/2014 6:02:34 AM
And it didn't take long for the first wipeout of the slopestyle event. The first skier goes down.

by Ross Maghielse via Digital First Media 2/11/2014 6:03:10 AM
Full pull from Philomena Bair (AUT)! Keeping it simple, keeping it clean!

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:04:12 AM
First American up in the slopestyle will be Keri Herman. She's up after the next skier.

by Ross Maghielse via Digital First Media 2/11/2014 6:04:34 AM
Good luck to all the ladies about to drop for slopestyle qualifying and finals! #teamusa @KeriHerman @dlogan @juliakrass

by Nick Goepper via twitter 2/11/2014 6:05:02 AM
The conditions out here for freestyle ski #slopestyle are some hard-pack snow making for high speeds + clouds overhead, should be good!

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:05:40 AM
Back at curling, Russia has narrowed the gap against Team USA. It's now 4-3 with the U.S. in front entering the 5th.

by Ross Maghielse via Digital First Media 2/11/2014 6:08:02 AM
Another full pull, this time from New Zealand's Anna Willcox-Silfverberg! #slopestyle scores are relatively low so far

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:08:18 AM
Keri Herman up now for Team USA at the women's slopestyle. She's got medal aspirations.

by Ross Maghielse via Digital First Media 2/11/2014 6:08:31 AM
Get ready! @KeriHerman is on course and here to slay it! 31 years old and full of #slopestyle skill!

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:08:48 AM
No worries @KeriHerman , that 720 over the final booter will come together in your next run! #slopestyle #Sochi2014

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:09:36 AM
.@KeriHerman played hockey in college. Didn't start skiing until she was 22 years old.

by Jason Stahl via twitter 2/11/2014 6:09:51 AM
Herman had huge air on the corkscrew but couldn't stick the landing.

by Ross Maghielse via Digital First Media 2/11/2014 6:10:19 AM
Would have been a great run had she landed that. Slo-mo replay shows she wasn't that far off, just got her skis crossed up a bit. She seems to be taking it well, with a score of 27.40. In fourth place right now.

by Ross Maghielse via Digital First Media 2/11/2014 6:11:15 AM
Professional skiing is in her blood! Camillia Berra stomped a solid #slopestyle run, making her racing dad proud we're sure!

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:11:55 AM
That takes her to the top! Camillia Berra earned a 74.40 with that run! #Sochi2014

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:12:36 AM
American Devin Logan up now in the women's slopestyle.

by Mark Kiszla via twitter 2/11/2014 6:16:00 AM
With that insider's perspective, @dlogan took on the role of a judge when she injured her knee a while back #slopestyle advantage!

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:16:48 AM
Devin Logan lands all three jumps, two in reverse to cap off a sold run. Takes a score of 79.40 to move into 1st place.

by Ross Maghielse via Digital First Media 2/11/2014 6:17:20 AM
Taking that top spot, @dlogan 's 79.40 will be the new score to beat! #slopestyle but here comes @DaraHowell (CAN) who has the tools!

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:17:38 AM
There is some expectation for Canada to sweep, will @DaraHowell set the stage with this #slopestyle run? full pull says yes

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:18:17 AM
Crazy, just overheard @DaraHowell cut her nose earlier this week on her lampshade!?! good thing that didn't phase her

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:19:27 AM
Logan no longer in first place as Canada's Dara Howell moves ahead with a great run and a score of 88.80.

by Ross Maghielse via Digital First Media 2/11/2014 6:20:56 AM
Gut check for Sweden's Emma Dahlstrom, took a spill on the down box up top #slopestyle

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:21:49 AM
That was a nasty fall by Emma Dahlstrom of Sweden. Landed right on the wood board.

by Ross Maghielse via Digital First Media 2/11/2014 6:22:45 AM
Here come's Lisa Zimmermann... she has a double cork in her bag and is the only woman out here who could unleash it! #slopestyle

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:24:24 AM
Back over at curling, the U.S. women's team are locked in a tight match against Russia. Leading 5-4 after 5.

by Ross Maghielse via Digital First Media 2/11/2014 6:25:37 AM
the "blonde icon of Italian skiing" Silvia Bertagna nailed a 720 on that #slopestyle final jump

by Skyler Wilder via twitter 2/11/2014 6:26:45 AM
It's a great day for some #slopestyle ! Only 30 minutes until the women get started! #sochi2014 #olympics instagram.com

by U.S. Freeskiing via twitter 2/11/2014 6:27:40 AM
Top score is @DaraHowell 's 88.8, there is room for some improvement from the women of #slopestyle freestyle ski - who will crack the 90s
