    "Shaun White has to jump up from 11th to first. We all know he can do it, but can he handle this pressure."

  2. Snowboardingpublished at 18:25 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February 2014

    It's only good enough for silver. Iouri Podladtichikov remains in the lead as the biggest star in snowboarding gets set for his final run.

  3. Snowboardingpublished at 18:24 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February 2014

    Huge air...frontside 1080...huge double...frontside 900...backside nine...then a huge finish. Surely Ayumu Hirano has done enough to lead? That was simply brilliant. What do the judges think?

    Hiraoka shocks Sochi by going second. David Habluetzel is knocked out of the medals. Two men to go. Shaun White, but first, Ayumu Hirano. Seatbelts...

  5. Snowboardingpublished at 18:20 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February 2014

    Switzerland's Christian Haller comes and goes. At the minute, Iouri Podladtichikov leads from Japanese 15-year-old Ayumu Hirano. Hirano's team-mate Taku Hiraoka is next up.

    "Danny Davis is 25 years old and it's unlikely he will get another chance. Injury stole the Vancouver Games from him, but two falls here will take a medal away from him."

  7. Snowboardingpublished at 18:17 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February 2014

    Heartbreak for America's Danny Davis, who missed the 2010 Vancouver Games with a broken back. He has twice fallen in this final and, at 25, could have just seen his Olympic career over. That's right, 25. I feel old.

    A view of the course

    "I went too early with the "too many seats" comment. It's fairly rammed, and they are still pouring out of the gondola from the valley. Well into it, too. Horns, bells, clapping, flag waving, all sorts."

  9. Snowboardingpublished at 18:15 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February 2014

    Now what? More Swiss brilliance from David Habluetzel. Have I seen that right? Is he competing with his MP3 player headphones in? Imagine that happening in any other sport. He goes third, but is likely to miss out on a medal.

  10. Snowboardingpublished at 18:13 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February 2014

    Shaun White, by the way, recorded a 95.75 in qualifying. He'll need the same again.

    "What a run from the Swiss rider Iouri Podladtchikov. The Swiss coaches have gone ecstatic. He saw a chink in the armour of Shaun White and he has attacked it.

    "He has a glimpse of a medal for the first time in his career, but it is not over yet, we are only just coming to the boil in the halfpipe kitchen."

  12. Snowboardingpublished at 18:12 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February 2014

    Right then, Switzerland's Iouri Podladtchikov, third after the first run. Big backside air to start...front-side five....frontside 1080...double corkscrew with 1440 degrees of rotation! Absolutely nailed it! Sochi erupts, Podladtchikov is on his knees, the Swiss coaches go wild. What's the mark? 94.75 - we have a new leader. Amazing.

    "Could there be a shock on the cards at women's ski jumping in its first ever competition? Hot favourite Sara Takanashi, the 17-year-old Japanese megastar, only goes third after the first round of two. Big rival Sarah Hendrickson of the US, only just back from knee surgery, also struggled."

    Jennifer Lowis:, external Jaw is on the floor. This men's snowboarding halfpipe thing is just unbelievable.

    Ron Chakraborty: , externalGet the halfpipe on BBC2 now. Spectacular, dramatic, tense, historic.

    Jake Nicholls:, external The commentary for the men's halfpipe final is so succinct "somebody give this guy a rescue boat!" you can sense their enthusiasm.

  15. Snowboardingpublished at 18:07 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February 2014

    Even if you're sceptical about the idea of halfpipe being an Olympic sport, you have to say that this is mesmerising, heart-stopping, drama. All about the event is theatrical. The floodlights on the white halfpipe, the big screen behind each rider as he sets off, the oohs and aahs that accompany each trick, the uber coolness of each competitor. And, above all, the cheating of danger. Mind-blowing.

    "What an incredible recovery from the 15-year-old Hirano. He used all that board skill to stay on his board and the whole crowd thought he would go down.

    "Over the last eight years, Shaun White has made men's halfpipe snowboarding into the blue ribbon event of snow sports. Everyone is watching this final and it is incredible. He will not ride within himself in his second run. The only way he will be happy if he is beaten is if he commits everything to his second run."

  17. Snowboardingpublished at 18:03 Greenwich Mean Time 11 February 2014

    The second run has begun, with boarders from the bottom end of the leaderboard pulling out all the tricks in the knowledge they can't win a medal. So far? Lots of bums on snow.

    "The Japanese media team next to me are jumping all over the place as their incredible 15-year-old snowboarder Ayumu Hirano leads the Halfpipe final after the first round with 90.75.

    "But what happened to Shaun White!?

    "The man hoping to make history tonight has it all to do in the second round after a slip & partial crash we saw him scream "WHAT WAS THAT!?" at the end. There may have been a few 'stronger' words I have left out from that quote..."

    Andy Stout:, external Astonishing half-pipe. White a human being after all, Hirano a megastar in the making.

    Freddy:, external Shaun White - love him or hate him, you have to feel sorry for him with that run. This is exciting!

    "This is the first time Shaun White has ever dropped a trick in an Olympic final. He is human after all.

    "This is huge. The young pretender [Hirano] already has a score on [90.75]. White is limping and will have a dead leg tomorrow."
