Pictures of a beaming Jenny Jones with a bronze medal around her neck are on the front pages of the national newspapers and we are all becoming familiar with the story of the snowboarder who learnt her trade on the dry slopes.

The Independent's, external headline perhaps sums it up for us: "A bit of snowboarding grab and tickle, and Jenny Jones takes our first medal on snow: woooaaah yeah!"

"There were no tears," writes Simon Hart in the Daily Telegraph., external "She just started giggling uncontrollably, laughing at her good fortune and at her new place in British sporting history."

Want more Twitter , externalfollowers? Win an Olympic medal. For those of you interested in such things, Jenny Jones had 8.453 followers before her remarkable feat on the slopes - but the last time I checked this morning, the 33-year-old had a whopping 54.6k followers, including, of all people, Great British Bake Off's Paul Hollywood. That's showbiz.

Indeed, between 0900-1000 GMT on Sunday there were 34,000 mentions of Jones on the social networking site.

Wimbledon champion Andy Murray was one of the many thousands to get caught up in the excitement of a backside rodeo, tweeting:, external "Jenny Jones! Is it wrong to hope everyone left falls?"

"I just know that Jenny and Aimee [Fuller] had a great time last night. I dropped them off. We drove up in the same bus together, it was a bit of party bus, and we had a bit of a sing-along and then I had to scuttle off to bed, but I'm sure they had a pretty good time and a well-deserved night out."

If you want to watch or listen to Britain's favourite snowboarder talk about Sunday's exploits, she will be on BBC Breakfast at 0810 GMT and, 10 minutes later, the bronze medallist will be on BBC Radio 5 live. Today will now be known as Jenny Jones Day.

History was made on Sunday, of course, as Jenny Jones won Great Britain's first Olympic medal on the snow with a thrilling slopestyle bronze. It was not only the day Britain won its first medal on the white stuff in 90 years but it was also the day we all became experts in "frontside 360s" and "switch 1140s".

Father Christmas is waving frantically somewhere near the finishing line. Wherever there's snow you can guarantee St Nick will be there. Switzerland's Lara Gut still leads in the women's super combined downhill thanks to her 1:43.15 effort, but Austria's Nicole Hosp is fourth - 0.80 seconds behind - and primed to pounce during the slalom. Hosp now favourite for gold, apparently.

And it's all over in the Ice Cube and it's good news because Britain's men have beaten Russia 7-4 in the first round robin match. They will return to the ice this afternoon to face Sweden.

"Decent crowd in for the women's super combined, not packed but about the same for the men's downhill. They do a good thumping hard-rock soundtrack in these parts, and the Russian fans seem to have embraced the old vuvuzela horn. Chemmy Alcott down to 7th after 10 racers. Sir Matthew Pinsent preparing to get her thoughts."

"Lara Gut [the on-course leader] is such a great speed specialist. Her World Cup form has been sensational and it was proper downhill skiing from her on this course. She is one of the great hopes for Swiss alpine skiing. She is fast and fearless and enjoyed her downhill although it wasn't error-free."

Switzerland's Lara Gut now leads the women's super combined downhill, shoop-shooping down in 1:43.15, which is 0.52 seconds ahead of Austria's Anna Fenninger in second.

Over in the Ice Cube, Britain are leading Russia 7-4 in their first round robin match and that contest is now in the 10th, and final, end. The hosts, wearing snazzy red and white trousers which seem to have been based on a toddler's doodle, look tense, but aren't we all.

"Britain's Chemmy Alcott is only expected to race in the downhill portion for training, to save her re-built right leg too much stress ahead of the downhill proper and super-G.

"The ones to watch for the title are defending and world champion Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany, Canada's Marie-Michele Gagnon, Austrians Anna Fenninger, Elisabeth Goergl and Nicole Hosp, Slovenia's Tina Maze and American Julia Mancuso, the Vancouver silver medallist."

"Chemmy was treating this as a training run. Although she skied the mid-part of the course well, she maybe wasn't as committed at the top but finished within a second of the leader."

"Alpine skiing was a late comer into the winter Olympics. It was the Brits who invented Alpine skiing and the combined has been going longer than all the individual events. The combined is cherished in the hearts of the International Ski Federation, but it's getting more difficult to find people who can ski both well."

Chemmy Alcott negotiates the course safely and crosses the blue line 0.87 seconds behind behind the leader Francesca Marsaglia. The Brit, who is using this as a practice run, completed the course in 1:44.83.

"It's another Sochi scorcher in the Caucasus Mountains and we're at the alpine centre again for the women's super combined event. It tests the best all-rounder, with a run of downhill (from 07:00 GMT) followed by a slalom race (from 11:00 GMT). Looking up towards the Aigba Ridge from the finish area, the women's downhill track plunges down through the trees from the right.

"The slalom course is sandwiched between that and the men's downhill on the left. The downhill start is a bit lower than the men's - at 1736m compared to 2045m - but there is a similar combination of big jumps, such as Forest Jump, Tunnel Jump and Solitary Jump near the bottom - as well as steeps, fast, super-G -style turny sections and flats in the forest."

The sun has yet to rise over the British Isles, and perhaps it won't today, but over in Sochi the rays are helping to create a picture-perfect setting. Chemmy Alcott is in the start gate for the Women's super combined. Here are the times of today's highlights (and, just because I can, I've added the British athletes competing in brackets).
