    Here we go, then. Time to decide the final gold medal of the opening day of the Winter Olympics. It's the final of the women's moguls.

    Nikola Sudova, who finished on top in the first phase of the final, is out after a disappointing score of 20.97.

    That means defending champion Hannah Kearney, Chloe Dufour-Lapointe, Justine Dufour-Lapointe, Britteny Cox, Eliza Outtrim and Aiko Uemura will progress to the final phase of the moguls final. That'll be coming up shortly.

    The noise around the Ice Skating Palace went up a notch as the Russian pairing of Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov skated to The Adams Family. It was a stunning performance from the duo and they are duly rewarded by the judges.

    They receive the top score to help Russia open up an overall six-point lead over Canada. The team competition, which is new to Winter Olympics, will come to a conclusion tomorrow.

    Today at the Games, where Clare Balding rounds up the best of the action from day one of the Winter Olympics, has started on BBC Two.

    But before she starts the review, we've got the final of the moguls - which will see the day's fifth medal awarded - to see through first.

    Justine Dufour-Lapointe secures her place in the final phase of the moguls final with a score of 21.64. She'll be joined by defending champion Hannah Kearney and Britteny Cox. Three places are left, with three skiers left to go.

  7. Figure Skatingpublished at 18:57 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2014

    The standard keeps on rising in the Iceberg Skating Palace as the Canadian pairing of Kirsten Moore-Towers and Dylan Moscovitch take top spot with a score of 129.74. Italy now second, with only Russia left to skate.

  8. Freestyle Skiing - Mogulspublished at 18:54 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2014

    Better for American defending champion Hannah Kearney on her second run and she goes into first position with a score of 21.93. Six skiers still to go, so her place in the final is not yet confirmed.

    "That could be the end of the road for the oldest Dufour-Lapointe sister Maxime, as she made a mistake on the second kicker."

    Maxime Dufour-Lapointe, the oldest of the three sisters in the moguls final, looks like her role in this final is coming to an end. Her score of 18.64 is good enough for fifth after five competitors, with only the top six progressing to the final phase where the medals are dished out.

    The Italian pairing of Stefania Berton and Ondrej Hotarek have soared to the top of the leaderboard in the team pairs free skating in the team competition with a score of 120.82. That demotes the USA pair to second and Japanese duo to third.

    Time for the second phase of the women's moguls final. They will go in reverse order, with Deborah Scanzio of Italy going out first and Nikola Sudova of the Czech Republic last. Defending champion Hannah Kearney will be in the middle.

    Nothing spectacular for defending champion Hannah Kearney who makes an error early in the run and can only manage the seventh best score. No matter, though, as the scores are scrubbed ahead of phase two. The main thing for the American is that she's through to the second portion of the final.

  14. Freestyle Skiing - Mogulspublished at 18:35 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2014

    Yes she can. Chloe Dufour-Lapointe goes third, one place ahead of her sister Justine with Maxime in 10th. The top 12 go through to the next phase.

    "It's the last of the Dufour-Lapointe sisters, Chloe to go. Can she make it 3 sisters into the final 12?"

  16. Figure Skatingpublished at 18:30 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2014

    It's a new season's best for the United States in the team event. Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir are in first place in the pairs free skating, but second overall in the team competition. Russia, the favourites, are still to come.

    Yulia Galysheva from Kazakhstan is the only skier to go for the front flip today - and she lands it. The judges are impressed and she goes second which means she is definitely through to the second phase of the final. Lots of hoops to jump through to get a medal in this event.

    "Some wonderful skating tonight from @TeamGB @N_Buckland @PennyCoomes @JennaMcCorkell remember how it felt and use it again next week."

    The British team finished 10th and last in the team competition today, but still have the individual competition to come.

    Ekaterina Stolyarova's hopes of a medal are over after she over-rotated a flip and landed on her back. The Russian gets up and completes the run, but a score of 10.99 leaves her last and won't be good enough to progress to the second phase.
