Romania's Delia Anamaria Folea has the first ever jump in Olympic women's large hill, scoring 42.6 points.

Three of the first 10 athletes listed to jump have not started, while Lisa Hirner of Austria leads the way with a score of 111.3.

Bruce Mouat: The skip or captain, he throws last and dictates the tactics. Calm, thoughtful, but fiercely competitive. Considered by many to be the best player in the world.

Grant Hardie: Mouat's deputy, he will throw third. He's the analytical one in the team and not afraid to speak his mind. Also drank champagne for the entirety of the 13-hour flight home from Beijing after winning silver.

Hammy McMillan: As the lead, he throws first. He's the lively one of the team and one of the best sweepers in the world. Loves a carry on. He and Hardie are cousins.

Bobby Lammie: The quiet one but an "absolute freak of nature physically" according to those who train alongside him. Along with McMillan, he has reinvented the role of the sweeper.

There's another big evening of curling up ahead, with Bruce Mouat's GB among those in action:

• China v Canada
• Norway v USA
• Italy v Czech Republic
• GB v Switzerland

Uh oh, Italy's Valentina Margaglio's start is under review. Is that going to be the first penalty of the night? It is! She gets 0.93 added to her time (0.5 seconds plus the time of the early start) and that's this pair's hopes up in smoke.

They finish with a combined time of 2:01.96 - good enough for fifth place after six pairs.

China's Yuxin Liang and Qinwei Lin remain in the lead with a time of 2:00.66.

Up next, it's the world champions - Mystique Ro and Austin Florian (USA).

As expected, with the pairs ranked from lowest to highest, the lead changes hands again.

China's Yuxin Liang and Qinwei Lin go into the gold medal position with a time of 2:00.66 - 0.77 faster than USA and a new track record. We'll see that broken half a dozen or more times tonight.

All of the runs have been pretty clean so far - no big collisions - but all of the sliders have been cautious out of the blocks with those false start penalties looming large.

Get ready for some Olympic history - women's large hill is making its debut in Olympic ski jumping.

While the slope is the same as the normal hill event, on the large hill the start gate and take-off point are higher up meaning athletes jump further.

Nika Prevc, the 20-year-old reigning world champion in both disciplines, was clearly disappointed to take only silver in normal hill but had a smile back on her face when helping Slovenia win gold in the mixed team event - she jumps last in the first round.

Norway’s Anna Odine Strom (fourth last to jump) pipped Prevc by just 1.1 points in the normal hill and will try to once again get the better of this season’s World Cup leader.

30 of the 50 competitors will make it through to the final round (18:57 GMT).

The first of two American teams are the fourth pair down the track.

Kelly Curtis and Daniel Barefoot both slow down towards the back end of the course but have enough time in the bank to take the lead.

They finish in 2:01.43, putting them 0.15 seconds ahead of Denmark.

I totally believe in all four of our athletes, I think they are going to smash it and they are all in the form of their lives.

I just nipped in to the changing rooms at the top and they were all laying down, very zen with their eyes closed. They were all really chilled out and I think they are in a really good headspace to perform.

Rasmus Vestergaard Johansen is the red for most of his run but a fast finish puts Denmark into the lead!

Brother and sister pairing Nanna Johansen and Vestergaard Johansen are 0.08 seconds faster than Latvia.

The new time to beat is 2:01.58.

Wow, this reaction thing is actually proving a lot more tricky than it first seemed.

The athletes so far have been a little bit hesitant about setting off, clearly concerned about going too soon and incurring that penalty.

"Go, go, go" yells Canada's coach as Josip Brusic sets off but it's not a good run.

Jane Channell was a shade quicker than her Latvian counterpart but Brusic can only post a time of 1:01.07, leaving Canada +0.98 in second.

Latvia keep the lead. The time to beat is still 2:01.66.

The question is, Ian, which Winter Olympic event do you think Paddington would be best at?

Latvia's teenagers safely avoid any false start drama and post a combined time of 2:01.66.

Marta Andzane slid down the track in 1:01.67. Emils Indriksons dips under a minute - 59.99.

Next up, it's Canada's Jane Channell and Josip Brusic.

This event is brand new, never seen in the Olympics before and is another medal opportunity.

It is totally different to the individual event. The mixed team race is done on a reaction start. If you make a false start, it's really difficult to make it back up with the sliding.

Latvia's Marta Andzane and Emils Indriksons will set the pace in this skeleton mixed team final.

Off we go!

The two British teams will run fourth from last (Wyatt and Tarbit) and last (Weston and Stoecker). That means they are some of the best because they run from the lowest to the highest rank.

One thing to remember this evening is that if there is a false start - where the male athlete sets off before the light turns to green at the top of the track - they will get a HALF SECOND penalty.

In skeleton terms, that is significant.

If they get a penalty then that will likely dash any medal hopes.

Team GB have won a skeleton gold (Matt Weston).

They’ve won a mixed team gold (Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale in the snowboard cross mixed team).

Put the two together - a medal in the skeleton mixed team looks pretty good, right?

Great Britain are very good at this.

You’re racing for the two of you and your nation as well, so the dynamic and energy should be different and it should be thrilling to watch.

The top three teams are likely to be within a tenth of a second - so honestly anything can happen.

USA’s Mystique Ro/Austin Florian (seventh pair) are the reigning world champions while China's Zhao Dan/Lin Qinwei (10th) took bronze in 2025.

Women's Olympic champion Janine Flock has partnered with Samuel Maier for Austria (11th).

Germany's Susanne Kreher and Axel Jungk (13th) are the current European champions and have both already been on the podium in Milan-Cortina, winning silver medals in the women's and men's skeleton. Kreher is a former mixed team world champion (2023).

Germany's second pair are Jacqueline Pfeifer and Christopher Grotheer (14th), who were bronze medallists in the women's and men's events, respectively.

Grotheer, the men's Olympic champion in 2022, is a three-time mixed team gold medallist at the World Championships while Pfeifer was the inaugural world champion in 2020.
