There was no medal for Britain on day three, but there were no shortage of highlights in Sochi with the Dutch continuing their domination of the speed skating events, a Briton making speed skating history only to fall in the final and a Russian billionaire stumping up the cash to save hundreds of stray dogs from a culling. May the good times continue tomorrow. Until then, it's goodnight from me.

Britain's speed skaters have been as active on social media as on the ice today. Jack Whelbourne was in confident mood when he tweeted his girlfriend, external Elise_Christie last night ahead of today's 1500m final: "Bet you I wake up tomorrow already a #champion will win the races 100 times over in my dreams tonight #winning"

However, all did not go to plan as Whelbourne crashed out of the final and twisted his ankle in the process, posting a picture on Twitter, external once he was up and about.

"I'm really happy," says France's British-born Ben Cavet after his eighth place in the second phase of the moguls. "I missed the last six by two places - that's one split of the skis.

"I'm still relatively young for the sport and this was my first Winter Olympics, so I was just aiming for a bit of experience. And, hopefully, I'll be going for a medal in 2018. It's awesome, it's such a different race, the whole build-up to it, so much attention from the media and then being with all the other sports is a really cool team."

There were a few contenders, including Jack Whelbourne creating history as the first Briton to reach an Olympic 1,500m short track final. And over at the Alder Arena, Netherlands continued their domination of the speed skating events as Michel Mulder finished just 0.01 seconds clear of countryman Jan Smeekens with his twin brother Ronald Mulder taking bronze.

However, the drama of the moguls final - the final event of the day - stole the accolade of Highlight of the day right at the death as Alex Bilodeau soaked up the pressure to deliver a sensational final run and defend his moguls title ahead of countryman and rising star Mikael Kinsbury. That event is well worth a watch on catch up when it's available. Trust me.

It's that time of the year, or at least every four years, when the nation falls in love with curling - and this time there's even a hashtag.

TheViewFromTheHack:, external "Everyone getting up early to watch curling today."

And the excitement reached as far as the British team, with men's skip David Murdoch taking to Twitter, external after the win over Russia: "Media and finally doping control done! Wow that was a great opener, atmosphere was electric! Thanks for all the support tweeps!! #lovecurling"

It was a great day for Canada and the Netherlands as another five gold medals were handed out for sporting excellence today.

"Sensational from Alex Bilodeau. The defending champion was under pressure all the way through by team-mates Mikael Kingsbury and Marc-Antoine Gagnon and Russian Alexandr Smyshlyaev but he delivered when it mattered most with an awe-inspiring final run to snatch gold. He's joined for the celebrations by his brother Frederic who has cerebral palsy.

"France's British-born Ben Cavet, who began by asking Sir Matthew Pinsent if he was on Ski Sunday, watched the last few runs with the French TV crew next-door and then said he was really happy with his eighth place. 'I missed the final by two spots, that's one split of the skis,' said Cavet, who remembered who Pinsent was and asked for a photo."

Canada's success in the men's moguls sees them end the day on top of the medal table with a total of seven - three gold, three silver and a bronze. Netherlands are second, following their speed skating success, with overnight leaders Norway demoted to third. Britain are 18th with one bronze. You can see the full medal table here.

The moguls has been a great event for Canada, as the North American nation win four of the six medals available in the event. Alex Bilodeau's gold and Mikael Kingsbury's silver follows Justine and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe's gold and silver respectively in the women's event.

Alex Bilodeau's success in the moguls means he becomes the first multiple Olympic champion in freestyle skiing. And on that note, he will retire, having decided to do so before the Games.

It's a strong performance from youngster Mikael Kingsbury, but there are a couple of small errors which the judges penalise him for. The 21-year-old takes the silver medal which means Alex Bilodeau wins gold and defends his title.

The crowd go mental when Marc-Antonie Gagnon's score comes up and he goes third because it means Russia are guaranteed a medal with Alexandr Smyshlyaev. The Russian's coaching team have a celebration group hug.

It's a huge score from defending champion Alex Bilodeau who raises his game in the final run with a spectacular final jump. The Canadian goes top with a 26.31 and he'll get a medal for sure.

A huge roar from the crowd as Russian Alexandr Smyshlyaev nails a score of 24.34 to move into gold medal position. Just the three Canadians to go.

Let the final battle for the 18th gold medal of Sochi 2014 begin....

It's a score of 22.16 for American Patrick Deneen. It looked like a solid ski, but we're expecting the scores for gold to be in the 24s.

"The Russian fans go bananas as Smyshlaev shreds the bumps like a wriggly Exocet missile. The best turns of the night but his 'air package' is marked down. Needs to upgrade that package to split the three Canadians."
