Wow!

Rebecca Morrison, that is obscene. A fabulous double take-out and GB have a chance...

The first medal of the day will be decided in the women's cross-country team sprint, which is coming up right now.

Sweden were the best team in qualification, almost 15 seconds faster than anyone else so they'll be the team to beat.

Off they go...

The event started with a qualification round, with each athlete allowed two runs.

Their best run scores determined their ranking with the top 12 athletes progressing to the final.

In today's final, they will each have three runs for a chance of an Olympic medal.

They will take to the slope in the reverse order of their qualifying ranking and the best score from a single run determines the medals and placings.

The slopestyle final has begun - and it is wide open. Canada's Max Parrot, who won gold in Beijing, is not competing in Italy, while reigning world champion Liam Brearley is out injured.

So who could grab a place on the podium?

Redmond Gerard squeezed into the final by half a point, but the American won Olympic gold as a 17-year-old back in 2018.

Big air winner Kira Kimura failed to qualify for the slopestyle final, but silver and bronze-medallists Japan's Ryoma Kimata and China's Yiming Su are in the running today.

Su, who turns 22 today, won slopestyle silver in Beijing so he'll be looking to upgrade his medal.

Canada's Cameron Spalding won the World Cup slopestyle title last season, while his compatriot Mark McMorris is going for gold in his final Games after winning bronze at the previous three.

The slightest glimmer of hope...

Rebecca Morrison draws in her final throw for two to cut the gap, but the US go into the final end with a one-shot lead and the hammer. Surely they've done enough?

After a bruising second round of qualification - there were a couple of hefty falls - the second six finalists for the women's aerials are confirmed.

Chen Meiting is the fourth Chinese athlete to go through, alongside neutral athlete Hanna Huskova, Abbey Willcox of Australia, USA's Winter Vinecki and Tasia Tanner, and Emma Weiss of Germany.

The top six booked their places a little earlier.

The finals start at 12:00 GMT.

For GB, it's now about hoping for mistakes from the other team. The Americans will know that, and they have the option to play much safer because they have a three-shot lead with two ends to go.

They wouldn't mind giving up two here, that's fine. They would still have a lead going into the final end.

Fear that's it now. Rebecca Morrison can't quite chip off an American stone and gives up a steal of one. Three down with two ends left.

Well, I suppose it could be a wolf but it does have a collar...

If Team GB do get anything out of this match, and it's a big if, they will consider themselves very lucky because they are not playing very well at all, particularly in the middle.

The US have missed plenty and given Britain plenty of opportunities which they haven't taken.

After the heavy snow of the past couple of days in Livigno, we have bright sunshine today.

But there’s a lot of work going on to clear it and I spotted this truck with a load of the white stuff trundling through the town.

The only road between Livigno and Bormio, the Passo del Foscagno will be closed for a good hour this afternoon for “controlled avalanche mitigation”.

The forecast is for more snow on Thursday and Friday so organisers will have their work cut out to keep the Olympic schedule as it currently is.

Great Brtiain need to get their two points in the eighth end. They have had chances to generate two, they got it in the sixth end, which came from a corner guard and Rebecca Morrison playing some really good shots at the end.

Eve Muirhead led Great Britain's women's curling team to gold in Beijing four years ago.

Now retired, she's watching on as chef de mission - heading up Team GB in Italy - and her face tells you that it's not looking great on the rink at the moment.

Not a good end for Team GB and I'm not sure they can come back from this now.

For once, Rebecca Morrison couldn't rescue her team and the US draw in for three points that could well prove decisive with just three ends left of this must-win game.

Good news for Team GB! Andrew Musgrave and James Clugnet have squeezed into the finals for the men's team sprint.

With only the top 15 teams going through, the British duo qualified in 13th - 9.77 seconds behind leaders the United States.

The American team also finished a couple of seconds ahead of cross-country's golden boy Johannes Hosflot Klaebo and his Norwegian team-mate Einar Hedegart.

The finals start at 11:15 GMT.

The first round of jumps in qualifying are done and dusted, which means the first six finalists are confirmed. Xu Mengtao is among them, one of three Chinese athletes to progress at the earliest opportunity...

1. Marion Thenault (Canada) - 108.61
2. Danielle Scott (Australia) - 99.59
3. Shao Qi (China) - 90.22
4. Kong Fanyu (China) - 89.72
5. Xu Mengtao (China) - 89.29
6. Kaila Kuhn (USA) - 89.29

It was an iconic, vintage Mikaela Shiffrin run.

That's all she needs to do. She doesn't need to try and be her best today because her best is already dominant.

Normal Shiffrin, absolutely ruling supreme.
