Japan's Nozomi Maruyama goes first!

Her 126.1 score, the second best of the final so far, is, when added to her qualification score, enough to put her top of the standings with two athletes to go.

Austria's Lisa Eder, fifth in qualifying, scores 126.9 for a total of 257.3, putting her in the lead for now.

Eirin Maria Kvandal, who qualified fourth, scores 123.0 - putting her second.

Just the three qualification leaders to go, including world champion Nika Prevc of Slovakia.

The athletes are rattling down the run in the women's normal hill, we've had 25 athletes fly through the skies, with the five remaining qualification leaders set to have their second runs soon.

Heidi Dyhre Traaserud of Norway currently leads from Germany's Selina Freitag.

Frontside 1,800. Not to be for Rocco Jamieson...

Long wait for the judges' scores... but just about worth the wait for Ian Matteoli.

The Italian gets an 82.25 to put him on 162.50 and in the bronze medal spot for now.

New Zealand's Rocco Jamieson can't land his final run so Mateoli stays there for the time being.

Oliver Martin is smiling. Set that one in resin, and don't let it loose!

USA's Oliver Martin has not so much as cracked a smile up to this point in the competition - but he's smiling now.

An 83.50 on his first run takes him to 163 and the silver medal position. Will be still be in the medals when all is said and done?

A hit it and hope! Hiroto Ogiwara was going for it... a smile on his face.

Fair play to Hiroto Ogiwara - he knows his medal hopes are over and goes big on his final run.

He tried for some massive but lands face first in the snow.

It doesn't stop him getting up with a grin.

One run to go and world champion Ryoma Kimata of Japan has the lead. They'll go in reverse order so he will be last up and should know what he needs to win/ medal...

We're back underway in the women's normal hill after 30 of the 50 athletes moved forward into the medal final.

Norway's Anna Odine Stroem led the way with 136.9 points, ahead of Nika Prevc of Slovakia (135.9) and Japan's Nozomi Maruyama (135.7).

The athletes are jump in the reverse order of their qualification placing, so Lisa Hirner of Austria, who was the last to qualify, got us going again.

Her score of 112.5 in the final is added to her qualification score of 108.6, for a total of 221.1.

You watch how deep Hiroto Ogiwara goes down here. That is heartbreaking. Ogiwara has had it all his way this season...

Ian Matteoli with a clean-ish landing, slight use of the hands but it's enough for a 80.25. He's going to need a huge final run now.

Don't rule him out, though. He's more than capable of producing it.

Ouch! It's all over for Hiroto Ogiwara! A painful landing sees him bounce back up into the air. One jump to go but the leader for qualifying is out of the running.

What looked a very impressive run from China's Su Yiming initially, is suddenly cast into doubt with a replay that shows he actually landed heavily and needed to use his hands to keep him up.

The judges take a while to deliver their scores, eventually coming back with a 73.75 to leave Su in second behind Ryoma Kimata.

Leader after the first run, Kira Kimura, then lands on his backside, just a 15 for him. Once again, it will all come down to the last run.

Here comes Ian Matteoli of Italy...

Halfway through the men's singles in the luge, Germany's Max Langenhan leads the way with an accumulated time of 1:45.826.

The reigning world champion is above Austria's Jonas Mueller, winner of three World Cups this season, who is second with 1:45.988.

Dominik Fischnaller of Italy is third with 1:46.124, while Langenhan's compatriot and two-time Olympic champion Felix Loch is eighth of 25 athletes after two runs with a time of 1:46.745.

Unfortunately there's no British interest in any of the luge events, so nothing to update on that front.

We're now done for today, we return tomorrow at 16:00 GMT for the final two runs.

Very heavy landing for Japan's Taiga Hasegawa and he might well have winded himself as well.

It scores him only 16 and having registered just 71 on his first run, he's got it all to do in his last run.

I didn't want to say it, but Lyon Farrell looked slow on take-off.

The pressure is starting to ramp up.

Ryoma Kimata stays ahead but the pressure is building as those who failed to land their first runs cleanly, make no such mistake this time.

New Zealand's Rocco Jamieson is among them but his fellow countryman Lyon Farrell crashes out. It'll all be on the last jump for the pair of them.

It is bubbling up nicely this. It is so hard to not get sucked in.

We are going to see the top spot change as the riders switch the moves.

Dame Katherine Grainger, chair of the British Olympic Association, speaking earlier today about Team GB's banned skeleton helmet design: “Whatever happens, the team have been competing all season in their normal helmets, if they don’t have the new one approved they will be in their normal helmets. In a way for the athletes, it's great if it goes their way, if not it doesn’t effect their performance.

“The understanding was that it would be approved, and there was some surprise it was not. But you come back to the athlete at the heart of it, you don’t want an athlete depending on equipment, you want them having the best chance whatever they have got.”
