    Freestyle skiing - men's dual moguls

    Katie Falkingham

    Team GB's Mateo Jeannesson has withdrawn from tomorrow's men's dual moguls after a heel injury flared up during his individual event earlier in the week.

    “About four months ago I injured my heel on a training camp in Sweden. Initially I thought I could just push through and it would heal, but it didn’t. In December I had a scan and they found a crack in the heel," he said.

    "I worked hard to rehab and get in condition ahead of the Games. When I arrived and trained on the Olympic course, unfortunately I didn’t feel 100%, but I tried to ski through the pain.

    "The impacts are hard on this course and things may have been a little different if conditions had been softer.

    "Ahead of the dual moguls, I have taken the decision with my coaches not to compete. You have to be able to give it 100% in our sport to have a chance, and I didn’t want to injure myself further.

    "The journey these past few months has been very challenging and full of ups and downs. I have truly learnt a lot from the last few months, however, and I am very grateful that I got to compete in these Olympics. It has given me invaluable experience for the future and the next part of my journey.

    "Now I’ll take some time off to get fully healed, but I’m extremely motivated to come back stronger than ever. Huge thanks to my coach and support team. I’ll see you all next year at the World Champs!"

    Men's ice hockey - group stages

    Emma Smith
    BBC Sport at Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena

    Hello from the press box in the rafters of Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena, where I am seated for what promises to be a thrilling day of action.

    There are three games at the biggest ice hockey stadium today, all group matches in the men's event.

    The first teams on the ice are Sweden and Slovakia, meaning the stands are awash with yellow-shirted Swedish fans.

    At the start of the second period, the score is 1-1. That suits the Slovaks, who need just a point from this game to finish top of Group B and qualify straight for the quarter-finals.

    A sensational silver for Sweden. What a story.

    Andersson got up from nowhere to finish her leg, Karlsson skied her heart out on the third and Sundling has anchored them home to the bravest silver you've ever seen.

    Here comes Jasmi Joensuu to bring the bronze home for Finland!

    She is beaming from ear to ear as she skis over the finish line with an overall time of 1:16:59.5. She knows that is a brilliant result for her country.

    They claim a spot on the podium once more! Sensational.

    Sweden fell but that's not the fault of the Norwegians.

    The commitment, the determination, the professionalism - Norway take the women's relay title. One of the most dramatic we've ever seen.

    They couldn't compete with the brilliance of the Sweds individually but they've taken advantage of extraordinary circumstances.

    After all of the drama, it is silver for Sweden!

    Jonna Sundling is absolutely gasping for air as she glides towards the finish line. She crosses it in 1:16:35.7.

    Ebba Andersson might have crashed to the snow, but you wouldn't be able to tell.

    This team is proof that you should never ever give up in sport, even when the chips are down! Amazing stuff.

    Pure elation for Norway!

    Heidi Weng brings home the gold medal for the 2018 Olympic champions and absolutely powers to the finish line!

    She crosses the line in 1:15:44.8 - a formidable race from all four women.

    Norway have now won 10 Olympic medals in this event, five more than any other country.

    Jonna Sundling finds the breakthrough!

    After going toe-to-toe with each other for a few kilometres, the Swede takes an opportunity to power ahead of Finland's Jasmi Joensuu to claim second place back.

    What an amazing effort from Sweden!

    The are 900m above sea level here, they will be working - it looks like they're cruising but they're not.

    They are operating towards the very peak of their endurance powers.

    I think it's just about safe to say we know the medals will be going to Norway, Finland and Sweden now - but in which order?

    Jessie Diggins, despite being one of the greats of the sport, has a little too much to do back in fourth. It's a very formidable effort from the United States, though!

    Sweden's Jonna Sundling has given herself a fantastic platform for a silver medal.

    Barring a fall, you'd expect Finland and Sweden will make up the rest of the podium, but in which order.

    Sweden are back in the medal spots!

    Sprinter Jonna Sundling has already overtaken Italy's Frederica Cassol to move into third.

    She isn't stopping there though, she is already right on the heels of Finland's Jasmi Joensuu in second! Just four tenths of a second separate the two athletes now.

    As a reminder, Sundling cut Sweden's deficit by more than 37 seconds in the anchor leg of their 2025 World Championships final.

    Juventus' match-fixing scandal, Marseille's doping in the early 90s, Lance Armstrong and Harlequins' bloodgate. All pale in comparison to Canada's double-tapping in the curling.

    Norway were 40 seconds up on second place Finland at the 20.1km checkpoint.

    Now the Norwegians are 48 seconds up on the Finns at the third exchange.

    You get the feeling the gold medal has already been decided...

    Norway's Karoline Simpson-Larsen is leaving it all on the tracks today!

    She is absolutely powering towards this third exchange - grimacing, double-poling and hurling herself forward.

    Heidi Weng stands waiting for the tap on her back which will mark the start of the fourth leg in this dramatic contest.

    The latest checkpoint timings are in and Sweden's Frida Karlsson has managed to close the gap to Italy's Martina di Centa in third place to just six seconds!

    It really is remarkable how Sweden have managed to pick themselves up after Ebba Andersson's two falls. They aren't world champions for nothing!

    Just as a reminder, the third and fourth legs are being skied using a freestyle technique on a freestyle course.

    In simple terms, the athletes are moving their skis in a side to side motion, as if they were ice skating, to move forward.

    The classic technique, used in the first and third legs, sees the athletes ski in pre-made parallel tracks - moving their skis back and forward.

    It's all very technical!

    Frida Karlsson is doing everything she can to try to drag Sweden back into medal contention here.

    She isn't the champion in skiathlon by over 50 seconds or the champion in 10km by over 45 seconds for nothing!

    It's not over just yet for the world champions.

    Frida Karlsson is 1.10 down but she's 25 seconds off a podium position.

    She needs to ski this second circuit of the third leg as if her life depends on it.
