    "Chemmy Alcott describes what it was like skiing the downhill section of the Olympic combined with a metal right leg five months after major surgery following a second fracture in the aftermath of a serious crash at Lake Louise in 2010.

    "I'm really pleased with that, to come from three seconds behind in my best training run to be 1.5 seconds off the lead [she finished 16th, 2.15 secs adrift] in a race situation I'm really ecstatic.

    "I thought 'wow' the whole world's going to be watching, I need to up my game. There are a few really difficult turns up there for me. There's a sidehill right-footer to start off with, and being as my right leg is metal I really struggle to roll on that foot so I've struggled there all week. I just have to try to muscle through that section and get onto the flat and then enjoy it."

    It's official - as expected, Chemmy Alcott will not compete in the slalom section of the women's super combined and I know this because there's a DNS (in capitals, no less) by her name on the start list. , externalItalians Daniela Merighetti and Elena Fanchini will also not start. She was always only using the downhill as a training run ahead of Wednesday's downhill proper.

    Jones, described as a trailblazer in the sport, started snowboarding aged 17 and spent a season working as a chalet maid in Tignes to fund her career.

    "I went out and worked as a chalet maid and that's how I fell in love with snowboarding," she tells BBC Breakfast.

    "I first started on a dry slope for half an hour and didn't actually learn that much but I enjoyed it and thought 'let's go with this'. It was when I went to the French Alps that I really started to learn and enjoy it."

  7. Jenny Jones in demandpublished at 08:53 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February 2014

    Unsurprisingly, Jenny Jones is a woman in demand and has taken over the airwaves this morning.

    She was earlier on BBC Breakfast and reveals she was more nervous competing in the semi-finals than the final.

    "I'm going to enjoy the moment and I'm going to go on a surfing trip, I just want to get out in the sun I may even go down to Devon or Cornwall if it warms up," she said.

    Slopestyle bronze medallist Jenny Jones has been on BBC Two reminiscing with Hazel Irvine about her super Sunday. Hazel touches the bronze medal and informs us it weighs the same as "about half a pack of sugar". Hazel doesn't go on to tell us whether she had a big bag or small bag of sugar in mind...

    "When you walk out onto the podium, with all the people [watching], something hits you and I just felt very proud to be up there," says Jones.

  10. Starting soonpublished at 08:41 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February 2014

    The end of the women's super combined means we can take a breather, reflect on what has gone on and prepare for what is coming up. In just over an hour or so there will be short track skating and more curling to entertain us. Here is how the rest of the day will unfold:

    0945 (GMT): Britain's Jack Whelbourne in the first heat of the short track 1500m

    1006: Britain's women's curling team versus Sweden

    1030: Elise Christie in the second heat of short track 500m

    1033: Team GB's Charlotte Gilmartin in third heat of short track 500m

    It's Julia Mancuso who tops the leaderboard after the downhill section of the women's super combined with a time of 1:42.68. To recap, the 29-year-old is 0.47 seconds ahead of Switzerland's Lara Gut, with Slovakia's Tina Maze 0.86 seconds behind in third. Chemmy Alcott is +2.15 adrift in 16th but won't compete in the slalom section.

    Oof. A wobble from Monaco's Alexandra Coletti... and she has lost her balance... and she's gone, gone, gone - sprawled on the floor minus a ski. It means there's one final racer to go in the women's super combined downhill and that is Romania's Ania Monica Caill.

    American Julia Mancuso is still the woman to beat as the downhill element of the super combined approaches the end. The 29-year-old, who won silver in the event in Vancouver, clocked one minute 42.68 seconds. In second is Switzerland's Lara Gut who is 0.47secs back while Slovenia's Tina Maze is in third, a further 0.39secs adrift. Austria Anna Fenninger is fourth and defending champion Maria Hoefl-Riesch fifth.

    The slalom element starts at 11:00 GMT.

    "The downhill course is not as tough as the men's yesterday so the slalom will be more important and that will be on Maria Hoefl-Riesch's mind. She knows she won't be able to hold off her Austrian rivals Michaela Kirchgasser and Nicole Hosp because she hasn't been skiing that well in slalom this year. It is getting more difficult to find competitors who ski both elements of the super combined well but the slalom being the second element means the event prefers slalom specialists."

    "Chemmy Alcott says the British team are fired up for more medal success after Olympic village flat-mate Jenny Jones's slopestyle bronze.

    "Alcott, who was 'proud' of her downhill run but will not race the slalom section of the combined, says she has not yet seen Jones but hung a Union flag saying 'Good job for hucking it' on her bedroom door.

    "I don't even know what 'hucking it' means," said Alcott, who admits the new breed of younger freestyle athletes in the team have brought out the free spirit in her.

    "It meant so much to watch her, and she's had a tough struggle too. I'm really proud of her. And to do it so early, we're going to have the best Games ever."

    Chemmy Alcott has now slipped to 15th in the women's super combined downhill, although it must be said the word on the slopes is the Briton is merely using this event as part of her preparation for the downhill and Super G.

  18. Tears for Jonespublished at 08:11 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February 2014

    Ah, what a weepy Sunday morning it was. "I think I might cry," said commentator and friend Aimee Fuller as Jones won bronze and, then, presenters and viewers all wept with her as Jones was embraced by her parents.

    Superstition means Jones does not like knowing her parents are watching her compete. Indeed Pete and Helen (we are all on first name terms now) have since said their plans to travel to Sochi were somewhat last minute because Jones seemed likely to miss the Games after suffering concussion in a training accident in December.

    "Guarded by a lone volunteer in an otherwise anonymous plaza, the truce wall is hardly front-and-centre at these Olympic Games. But it's still an attraction for the world's athletes - and politicians.

    "Illuminated in the morning sun are the signatures of President Vladimir Putin and United Nations secretary-general Ban Ki-moon, etched into the glass wall in white marker.

    "'Thank you Sochi,' is the British contingent's simple addition to the truce wall in the Olympic village - a place for athletes at the Games to share messages. Ireland, Azerbaijan, the Philippines and Slovenia are among the other nations whose names stand out."

    "Julia Mancuso knew she needed to be up near the top of the downhill standings to have any chance of a medal in this event and it was an excellent display from her. She was anonymous for the early part of the World Cup season but returned to the US, adjusted her equipment and has been in superb form since.

    "Of the others, Tina Maze from Slovenia is a good all-rounder and she has found her form again and is trusting her skiing again. It was a full attacking downhill run from her and she will be delighted with that.

    "Maria Hoefl-Riesch left herself a bit to do early on but recovered well. She is very close to the lead but a mistake in the final stretch cost her a couple of tenths of a second, but she is still in the hunt while Nicole Hosp has given herself a decent chance of a medal. She is a better slalom skier than some of those above her in the standings."
