    The figure skating team pairs free skating is up and running at the Iceberg Skating Palace in the coastal cluster. It features the top five teams only, with Japan's Narumi Takahashi and Ryuichi Kihara the first up. You can watch that via the stream above.

    Hannah Kearney, who likes to knit in her spare time, is favourite in the moguls and she'll go last in the first phase of the moguls final. The American will retire after Sochi and is bidding to defend the title she won in Vancouver.

    The event also features three Dufour-Lapointe sisters - Maxine, Justine and Chloe. Chloe and Justine have good shots at medals, having qualified for the final in second and third.

  3. Freestyle Skiing - Mogulspublished at 18:06 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2014

    It's time for the first part of the final of the women's moguls. I say first part, because it's split into three.

    In the first, which is about to start, the 20 finalists compete in reverse order of their qualifying position. The top 12 then progress to the second phase.

    The six highest-scoring skiers then progress to the third phase where the medals will be decided.

    You can watch the action in the video console at the top of the page.

    Everyone managed to get down both runs of the luge event, with Felix Loch (pictured) heading into tomorrow for the final two runs as the leader, with Albert Demchenko second, 0.309 seconds adrift.

    Italian veteran Armin Zoeggeler, who has won a medal in each of the last five Olympics, is in third place, 0.423 seconds behind the leader.

    You'll be able to watch coverage of those last two runs tomorrow at 14:30 GMT.

  5. Ski Jumpingpublished at 17:52 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2014

    The men's normal hill individual ski jumping qualifying is all done and dusted with Austrian Michael Hayboeck through with the best score of 128.6. The top 40 out of 51 are through to tomorrow's first round, which will also see the World top 10 - including defending champion Simon Ammann - join the competition.

    "These are all highly experienced men who are making this look easy. The fastest speed achieved today is 87mph! It's a new track so these guys are performing well."

    Over at the Sanki Sliding Centre in luge, Germany's Felix Loch is still leading the way, 0.309 seconds quicker than Russian Albert Demchenko.

    Tongan Bruno Banani, who changed his name from Fuahea Semi to that of a German underwear company to gain sponsorship, is currently 32nd out of 35 sliders who have completed two runs.

    "The Brits bow out of the team figure skating contest, finishing in 10th place, which is as expected: they qualified for Sochi in 10th, of 10 teams, in the first place. No harm done but GB officials say they want to move up that leaderboard considerably by 2018.

    "Russia still lead and this looks increasingly like the gold could be theirs for the taking, but we're only halfway through. The top five teams now head into the free skates and the US are building momentum."

    The pairs free skating starts at 18:05 GMT.

  9. Speed Skatingpublished at 17:30 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2014

    Earlier today, Sven Kramer defended his 5,000m speed skating title with an Olympic record performance.

    "For sure I was the only guy who could lose this today," said the 27-year-old, who has won 16 consecutive 5,000m races. "I just lose two or three races in the last few years but that brought a lot of pressure for today.

    Kramer, buoyed by text messages of support from compatriot and football player Arjen Robben and watched by Dutch king Willem-Alexander, added: "I didn't expect it would come as easy as that, I think it was one of my best races ever."

    "Ashley Wagner looked genuinely crestfallen with her score of 63.10 for the US, even though it put her temporarily into the lead. "Not quite what I wanted it to be," she told NBC.

    "But Julia Lipnitskaia, 15, comes out on home ice and rocks the joint. 72.90. She hammered Wagner out of sight, bouquets raining down on fleeing cameramen, a crowd stomping its appreciation so loudly you could barely hear the score.

    "Figure skating earthquakes tonight."

  11. Biathlonpublished at 17:18 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2014

    Nicknamed 'The Cannibal', Ole Einar Bjoerndalen, who celebrated his 40th birthday less than two weeks ago, equalled now-retired cross country skier Bjoern Daehlie's record of 12 Winter Olympic medals.

    The Norweigan, who has indicated he will retire after the Sochi Games, will get a chance to break Daehlie's record with the men's pursuit next up on Monday.

    But even if he does break the record, he doesn't believe it will make him a bigger athlete than his countryman.

    "It's difficult to compare us at this time because Bjorn was some years ago and now we have a lot more disciplines," he said.

    "Bjorn did not have as many chances to win, so for me Bjorn is and always will be the biggest athlete ever in Norway."

    Norway's Ole Einar Bjoerndalen produced arguably the best performance of the Games with victory in the men's biathlon 10km sprint earlier today.

    "This victory has been a four-year job and it has been many years since I won (an individual gold medal), but life is too short to give up," he said.

    "I think this is one of my most important victories. When I missed a target on the last loop I thought I had no chance to win, but I believed I could make the podium if I continued with my speed."

  13. Biathlonpublished at 17:08 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2014

    Britain's Lee Jackson finished 67th in the men's biathlon 10km sprint but will have one more chance when he goes in the men's 20km individual.

    "The hills are so steep," he said. "I have done some hard sessions on the course in the week leading up to racing but racing on it is something different.

    "It is so fatiguing, there is no recovery, it is tough and I have got double to do in the individual, which will be fun."

    There will be a single medal ceremony each day in the Medals Plaza in the centre of the Olympic Park.

    Today, Marit Bjoergen of Norway (pictured) received her cross-country gold medal along with silver medallist Charlotte Kalla of Sweden and bronze medallist Heidi Weng of Norway.

    Sage Kotsenburg of the United States, who won gold in the slopestyle, also picked up his medal along with silver medallist Staale Sandbech and bronze medallist Mark McMorris.

    The Czech Republic's Roman Koudelka is leading the way in the ski jumping men's normal hill qualifying round with a jump of 99.5m and a score of 69.0 points. They're battling for a place in tomorrow's round one - which will be followed by the final later in the day.

    BBC Radio 5 live's Will Perry rounds up the action from the men's snowboard slopestyle in Pint-sized Sochi 2014 with reaction from the two GB finalists Billy Morgan and Jamie Nicholls, who were both delighted, despite not winning medals.

  18. Lugepublished at 16:48 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2014

    It's a solid effort from Albert Demchenko, but it's not good enough to hold onto the lead. The Russian drops to second, 0.294 seconds off the pace overall.

    That'll be all for Demchenko and defending champion Felix Loch for today. They'll be back tomorrow for their final two runs. The times will be added up and the one with the lowest aggregate time will win gold.

  19. Lugepublished at 16:36 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2014

    It's a sensational run for Felix Loch, who won the World Cup title for the third time in January. The 24-year-old clocks the fastest time of the day with a 51.964 - a new track record - to provisionally go top of the timesheets.

  20. Lugepublished at 16:34 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2014

    The second run of the men's luge is under way at the Sanki Sliding Centre in the mountain cluster. Russian Albert Demchenko delighted the home crowd by finishing top of the timesheets after the first run with defending champion Felix Loch of Germany second, just 0.015 seconds off the pace.

    Loch is next up, with Demchenko following three runners later. I'll keep you updated. There are no British entries in this event by the way.
