  1. GB's fourth-place finishes...published at 12:14 GMT

    Team GB have eventually found their feet on the podium at Milan-Cortina thanks to success in the skeleton and snowboard cross, but those have been outweighed somewhat by the near-misses.

    There have been five fourth-place finishes for GB so far...

    • Kirsty Muir in freeski slopestyle and freeski big air
    • Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds in the mixed doubles curling
    • Mia Brookes in snowboard big air
    • Marcus Wyatt and Freya Tarbit in mixed team skeleton

    I work in public affairs, so hoping I'd be able to schmooze my way out of some blatant double-tapping in the curling!

    Dan

    Before the Winter Olympics I had no idea at all what curling was. Now it’s all I can think about. So I’d love to play curling as I think it’s such an interesting sport!

    There was a painful injury for the referee in the opening seconds of the Switzerland v Italy ice hockey match, as the puck hits him in the ribs.

  4. What is Skijoring?published at 11:56 GMT

    In Skijoring, a skiier or snowboarder is pulled by either an animal - usually a horse - or a motor vehicle, navigating jumps and gates along the way.

    You could think of Skijoring as an almost snowy variant of wakeboarding; the water sport in which a rider, standing on a wakeboard, is pulled by a motorboat to perform aerial 'trick's.

    If Skijoring tickles your fancy, or you simply want to know more about the sport, read BBC travel's piece on it here.

    It's not been at the Olympics since 1928, though!

    I'm a personal trainer (I work at a gym that Brad Hall trains at!) and I'm under no illusion that every feat we're witnessing is way beyond my capabilities. Though a current dream is to participate as a horse rider in skijoring...

    Becky

    I've just had to search what skijoring is ... you really do learn something new every day.

  6. Vonn has been 'immobile' since crashpublished at 11:46 GMT

    Lindsey Vonn says she has been "immobile" since her crash in the women's downhill over a week ago.

    The American great was racing just nine days after rupturing ligaments in her left knee when she struck a gate 13 seconds into her run in Cortina.

    She was airlifted off the piste and taken to hospital in Treviso, where she was diagnosed with a "complex tibia fracture" in her left leg, which will require multiple operations.

    "Haven't stood on my feet in over a week... been in a hospital bed immobile since my race. And although I'm not yet able to stand, being back on home soil feels amazing," Vonn said on X on Monday.

    "Huge thank you to everyone in Italy for taking good care of me."

    As a younger man I had quite the penchant for tiddlywinks, which has given me the hawk-like precision to succeed in the curling. I'm rather handy with a brush from all the sweeping of the pews as well, so quite the all rounder!

    I would love to compete in Ski Cross. Anytime I've attempted a ski cross course for fun it's always felt like I was flying. I can't describe it. It's fun, fast, and totally the sport I'd love to do.

    You know how I said you never know in the Olympics?

    Well, Switzerland are two up in the first period thanks to goals from Philipp Kurashev and Roman Josi.

    I think you do know.

    How do things stand for Team GB?published at 11:35 GMT

    Men's curling

    So here's how things stand in the men's round robin after this morning's games.

    Bruce Mouat's GB rink are in the top four and they'd storm into the semi-finals with two wins from their remaining two matches...

    Today (18:05 GMT) - Canada v Great Britain

    Wednesday (13:05 GMT) - USA v Great Britain

    Lose one of those and things might become a bit trickier.

    I can see myself winning Olympic gold with an iconic free skate to ‘Sunday’ by Stephen Sondheim (instrumental version, I believe). Perhaps not too many quads as to not show off, but I’d be renowned for my gorgeous, floaty triple axel. A boy can dream!

    Men's Ice Hockey - Switzerland 1-0 Italy

    Emma Smith
    BBC Sport at Rho Arena

    Given the vagaries of the men's ice hockey competition, hosts Italy are into the ice hockey knock-outs despite losing all three of their group games - including 11-0 to Finland on Saturday.

    The three group winners and best runners up have qualified automatically for the quarter-finals, with the other eight nations meeting in a play-off round.

    So Italy face Switzerland today in what could end up being a mismatch - this Swiss side reached the final at each of the last two World Championships. Their only defeat so far came against Canada.

    But at the Olympics, you never know.

  13. More delays in the aerials...published at 11:21 GMT

    It's not looking good for the aerials.

    It's still snowing in Livigno and the women's qualification has been delayed until at least 12:45 GMT, while the men's event has been postponed altogether.

    Skied for the first time in early 2000's aged 40. Went several times with decent skiers and boarders from my home town. Came across a relatively unused boarder cross on one of the trips. This turned out to be the most fun ever. Imagine the carnage, but no damage!

    Remember sledging down a local hill as a kid, so perhaps luge might have been my thing, but I'd have needed to have taken it up about 40 years ago!

    Ice hockey - men's play-offs

    With events in Livigno being called off, it's lucky that we've got some sport happening under a closed roof.

    We've got a couple of men's ice hockey matches coming up now...

    • Switzerland v Italy
    • Germany v France

    These are play-off matches, with the winning teams making it through to the quarter-finals.

    You can watch Switzerland against Games hosts Italy on BBC One.

    Welcome to Rho Arena, the smallest of the four venues in the Milan cluster.

    This is one of two temporary venues built in the Rho Fiera exhibition centre, opposite the long track speed skating stadium.

    Rho Arena has been used for ice hockey preliminaries, but is hosting one play-off - between Switzerland and hosts Italy - then one quarter-final tomorrow.

    Then it will be done, and the stands will come down.

    And as if by magic Emma Smith is here ... although not at the speed skating.

    The snow is causing havoc in Livigno, but thankfully, there is some ice hockey about to start!

    Think I'd like to be in the middle of the four man Bob. Just shove, jump in and cross your fingers. And quite anonymous - like a bass player in the band.

    The long track speed skating has always interested me. As a former runner, I would love to get good enough to push myself against the clock. Luge and skeleton also interest me.

  19. 'Bleak picture' for British short track speed skatingpublished at 11:02 GMT

    As Niall Treacy skidded out of the men's 500m heats on Monday morning, British hopes at the short track speed skating were finally put out of their misery.

    Put in particularly stark contrast by Team GB's Super Sunday the day before - with golds won in snowboarding and skeleton - this has been a grim Games in Milan.

    Treacy, Britain's only representative in short track, suffered a crash, fall or some other mishap in the 500m, 1,000m and 1500m.

    So the wait goes on for Team GB for a first speed skating medal. It has been 32 years since Nicky Gooch claimed bronze in the men's 500m at Lillehammer 1994.

    Wilf O'Reilly earned two golds when short track was a demonstration event at Calgary 1988, but since the sport made its official debut at Albertville 1992, no Briton has won an Olympic event.

    In the past three decades, the picture has never looked so bleak.

    Treacy was a one-man army in Milan. Four years ago at Beijing 2022, Britain sent three short track skaters.

    In 2018, GB sent a team of five to PyeongChang, with short track one of the great British hopes for a medal.

    Before the 2018 Games in South Korea, UK Sport provided £4.8m to short track skating - which was withdrawn after a team which included then-world champion Elise Christie, and Farrell Treacy – Niall's brother – failed to win a medal.

    Eight years later, the latest UK Sport funding allocation of just under £2m has been presented as a total for short track, figure and long track speed skating.

    Daniel, it's funny you should say that because BBC Sport's Emma Smith has been across the speed skating in Milan and has written an insightful piece on what's gone wrong at these Games for Great Britain in short track.
