You can watch the rest of the USA's ice hockey semi-final against Slovakia via the "Watch and listen" tab at the top of this page.

But our live text coverage for the day is at an end.

Please join us again tomorrow for what we hope will be a golden day for Great Britain at the Winter Olympics.

Goodnight.

It's a busy penultimate day at the Winter Olympics, with 10 gold medals to be handed out. Will it be a super Saturday for Team GB?

Zoe Atkin was the highest-scoring qualifier in the women's freeski halfpipe and goes in the final at 18:30 GMT.

There's also the men's curling final between Great Britain and Canada at 18:05 GMT.

Early doors - at 09:00 GMT to be exact - the four-man bobsleigh gets under way, with Brad Hall piloting the British quartet.

• Team GB's Gus Kenworthy finishes sixth in the men's freeski halfpipe final, with American Alex Ferreira winning gold.
• Dutch speed skater Antoinette Rijpma-de Jong wins women's 1500m gold, while in the short-track events, the Dutch take gold in the men's 5000m relay and Kim Gil-li of South Korea wins the women's 1500m.
• Wang Xindi of China wins men's aerials gold, two days after wife Xu Mengtao became Olympic champion.
• Norway finish first and second in the men's biathlon 15km mass start, with Johannes Dale-Skjevdal claiming gold.
• Germany's Daniela Maier wins women's ski cross gold.

And that's almost it for Friday's action, but before we leave you let's recap on what's happened today and what we have to look forward to tomorrow.

That was a fantastic final.

Italy's golden girl Arianna Fontana finished fifth, in case you were wondering.

Corinne Stoddard of the USA takes bronze.

We have a very worthy winner in Kim Gil-li.

Choi Min-jeong can't defend her back-to-back titles and has to settle for silver.

But it's not the end of the world because that silver makes her South Korea's most decorated Olympian with eight medals.

Five laps to go and Choi Min-jeong is in second.

Who will break first?

Here we go then.

Just over two hours ago these seven skaters started their quest for Olympic gold.

Now, just 1500m remain.

Can Choi Min-jeong defend her title, or will we have a new champion? Let's find out.

Team GB

Team GB's Ashleigh Nelson, speaking to BBC Sport: "We have done this before. We have done it in training, and it is just another day. We have got another shot at it. Luckily, we get to come back tomorrow and give it a good go."

Team GB's Adele Nicoll, lying 21st after two runs of the two-woman bobsleigh, speaking to BBC Sport: "That is honestly probably the one thing [touching the sides of the track] in bobsleigh which will kill all the velocity. The plan was to get on the left side to get a good angle into corner one.

"You see a small impact in bobsleigh is huge. It is crazy to say that at the Olympics I am still learning, but I still am.

"It is my first full season of competing with Ashleigh [Nelson] consistently. I am trying my best. I know tomorrow I can do some better runs for sure.

"It is not a case of finding a difference to make. I know what to do, and I have done it right a lot of times. Hopefully, tomorrow I can put it together."

There's a photo finish and it's Xandra Velzeboer of the Netherlands that wins that B race.

Canada's Courtney Sarault is judged to cross the line after her, followed by Elisa Confortola of Italy.

Before our final medal event of the night, we have the B final.

This determines the rankings from eighth to 14th.

You wouldn't have expected to see Xandra Velzeboer, Elisa Confortola or Courtney Sarault in this B final but it's because of those crashes that incurred.

There's also a little update on Poland's Kamila Sellier who was stretchered off the ice as a result of one of those crashes.

The good news is that her eye is OK, but she was cut in the face by a blade in the midst of it all.

Speedy recovery Kamila!

I mentioned earlier about the chaotic quarter-final race that only saw one woman cross the finish line ... and here it is!

It's the start of the four-man bobsleigh on Saturday morning.

Comedian and TV presenter Romesh Ranganathan has wished good luck to Team GB's Brad Hall - who he used to teach in his former career as a teacher.

Ranganathan taught Hall, now 35, maths at Hazelwick School in Crawley.

Ranganathan joked: "One of my fondest memories was Brad saying to me: 'Mr Ranganathan, genuinely, you are a hero and a role model, and I am going to compete for Team GB as a direct result of your influence'."

Jane Hall said her stepson took Ranganathan down a bobsleigh run in Switzerland last summer as a "pay back" for all the homework he had given him.

Back to the women's 1500m we go!

There's another light show going on.

Team GB's Gus Kenworthy, speaking to BBC Sport about self-funding himself for the Games: "I am really proud of myself. In the past Olympics, I have gone through the motions because it was what I have been doing.

"I have also had the support of national teams, the US team and the GB team.

"This time I had no support. It was a deliberate decision to come out of retirement and spend as much money as I have spent to hire a coach and do this and travel and go to the camps and pay for all the registrations.

"I am proud of myself for doing it and for making it here and putting a run down in the final. It is not what I wanted, but onwards and upwards."
