We're reaching the business end of the women's moguls qualification, with Russian Ekaterina Stolyarova top of the charts and set for a place in the final. The top 10 will go through to the final.

For those of you new to moguls, it's an event where athletes take turns to ski down a slop packed with a host of bumps (known as moguls) and jumps (of which there are two). They are judged on their speed, technical quality of their turns and their two jumps.

Canada are giving Switzerland a real pasting in the Shayba Arena. Rebecca Johnston and Marie-Philip Poulin adding goals to increase the Olympic champions' lead to 5-0.

Biathlon is the sweatiest discipline at the Winter Olympics. Males athletes typically produce 2.3 litres (four pints) of perspiration in the 20km individual event, and burn over 3,000 calories per race.

Today, though, the focus is on the men's 10km sprint. As Rob mentioned below, there will be one prone and one standing shoot. That means biathletes must fire at five targets from 50m with a 5.6mm caliber rifle.

Target diameters are 11.5cm - roughly the size of a shot put - for shots fired when standing and just 4.5cm - equivalent to the size of a golf ball - from prone. For each missed target, they biathlete must complete a 150m penalty loop immediately after leaving the firing range.

"Feverish anticipation is building for the battle between World Cup leader Martin Fourcade of France, Swedish world champion Emil Hegle Svendsen and Norwegian great Ole Einar Bjoerndalen, who is hoping to add to his Olympic tally of 11 medals.

"Bjoerndalen would match the 12 medals won by countryman and retired cross-country skier Bjorn Daehlie and equal the record for the most medals by any Winter Olympic athlete.

"The competition features three loops of 3.3km on skis with one prone and one standing shooting round."

We've got three events starting simultaneously at 14:30 GMT. The men's biathlon 10km sprint, the figure skating team event and the men's singles in the luge. You can watch any of those via our lovely streams.

We're heading to the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park for a spot of freestyle skiing, specifically the women's moguls qualifying. There are 10 final spots left, with favourite Hannah Kearney, who won gold in Vancouver, already qualified.

"History has been made, skaters from the Netherlands have filled all three medal positions. Very impressive from the Dutch guys. They were the favourites but you've got to be able to handle the pressure. Many people have crumbled in the past."

Lexi Girling:, external It's so hard to take a break from the Olympics, but I'm inspired to do some sport myself.

Daniel Gosbee:, external Blokuijsen V Kramer was a great contest.

Sven Kramer takes gold by 4.95 seconds as the final pairing fail to challenge the medal positions. It's the Flying Dutchman's 16th consecutive 5,000m race victory, a winning streak which stretches back to 2012. There's plenty fir the Dutch to celebrate as they have locked out the podium with Jan Blokhuijsen taking silver and Jorrit Bergsma the bronze.

We're into the second period over at the Shayba Arena where Olympipc champions Canada are taking on Switzerland in the women's ice hockey qualification. Hayley Wickenheiser has just scored to give Canada a 3-0 lead. You can follow that by clicking the link at the top of this page.

With one heat to go, the Netherlands have a 1-2-3 with Sven Kramer leading Jan Blokhuijsen and Jorrit Bergsma third. Belgian Bart Swings slotted into fourth.

"I'm sure Blokhuijsen has gone out of his lane five times now. I'm sure we'll hear something about this later."

Could we be on for a Dutch 1-2-3? Jan Blokuijsen is just two second adrift of countryman Sven Kramer with three laps to go. But could there be a disqualification on the cards?

"In situ at the stunning state-of-the-art Laura biathlon and cross-country centre on a ridge high above Rosa Khutor, on the opposite side of the valley to the alpine, extreme, sliding and ski jumping venues.

"The huge metal and glass media centre is shining in the late afternoon sun as the world's cross-country skiing press await the men's 10km sprint.

British soldier Lee Jackson goes for Team GB, hoping to build on a 55th place at Vancouver four years ago. The 33-year-old will start at 18:51 local time (14:51 GMT) as the field sets off in 30 second intervals beginning at 14:30 GMT."

Jorrit Bergsma crosses the line with the second quickest time, 5.90 seconds adrift of Sven Kramer's leading time. Sverre Lunde Pedersen of Norway has a decent run, too, slotting into third and pushing Russian Denis Yuskov out of the medals.

It's all gone wrong for Jorrit Bergsma who is paying the price for going off too quickly. He's now nearly a second and a half down on his countryman with three laps to go. However, if he digs deep, he should be able to stay second, with a 8.45-second gap between lead Sven Kramer and second placed Denis Yuskov.

Can anyone beat Sven Kramer? Well the man most likely to do is fellow Dutchman Jorrit Bergsma and he's gone off very quickly - in contrast to Kramer's race plan. He's 0.28 seconds up with six laps to go.

"Kramer has put the marker down. He didn't panic after the first couple of laps. He'll be the first Dutchman to win gold medals back-to-back if he wins."

It's a marvellous performance from Dutchman Sven Kramer who clocks a time of six minutes 10.76 seconds - a new Olympic record and 8.75 seconds quicker than anyone else.
