If curling is your thing, flick over to BBC Two because Great Britain skip Eve Muirhead and her team are sweeping away in the Ice Cube. The Brits thumped USA 12-3 on Tuesday to bounce back from a 6-4 defeat by reigning champions Sweden. However, their opponents Canada are unbeaten in this competition, including a 9-3 win over Sweden.

Britain's Shelley Rudman practices her starting technique in the skeleton. The real thing begins for her and team-mate Lizzy Yarnold on Thursday. There will be four runs, spread over two days.

Emma Boyd:, external Crazy that the women's downhill has a shared gold medal! Especially in a sport that is usually decided by tenths of seconds!

Aic3la:, external That Swiss rider in the men's halfpipe!! Defying gravity! Loved that replay. Can't wait for women's halfpipe.

We're up and running in the Nordic Combined event, with Russian Evgeniy Klimov leading the way in the ski jumping portion of the event on 124.7 points. Taihei Kato of Japan is second on 124.1. That equates to a two-second lead for Klimov over Kato for the cross-country part. Watch it via the video stream at the top of the page.

Finland lead Switzerland 3-2 as we enter the third and final period in their women's Group A match. You can follow the action via the video stream at the top of the page.

Dominique Gisin on sharing women's downhill gold with Tina Maze: "It's such an honour. She is an amazing person and one of the best skiers ever in our sport. I shared my first World Cup victory with Anja Paerson, and I'm sure glad I'm going to share this one with Tina."

Chemmy Alcott's fiance Dougie Crawford:, external So proud of @chemmyski great run! Amazing- 1.8 sec out after 3 leg breaks and where she was a few months ago! Inspirational!

Tina Maze, joint women's downhill Olympic champion: "I have no words. This doesn't feel real. I have been dreaming about this since I was little. The first ski race I ever won in my life was a downhill so before I went up today I said to myself: 'This has to be it. I can do it,' and I just went for it."

Dominique Gisin, joint women's downhill Olympic champion: "This is incredible. I am overwhelmed with emotions. What a day. I don't think I even dreamt about this. Now that I have won I am living the dream, but this is better than dreaming."

Lara Gut, women's downhill bronze medallist: "I'm really happy. It's my first medal but I know I missed out on my gold at the finish - I made a small mistake on the bottom. It's great to be on the podium but I'm disappointed because as an athlete you always want to do your best and I know this was not my best performance. In three days (in the super G) I get another chance. I think I am going to catch them."

In answer to Louise Heal's question below about which national anthem organisers will play when Slovenia's Tina Maze and Swiss Dominique Gisin get their gold medals are clocking the same time in the women's down hill, I can tell you that they will play both - but not at the same time, obviously.

Simon Huthwaite:, external So psyched for the women's curling today! Come on girls!!

Louise Heal:, external As there's a dead heat for the gold medal, which national anthem do they play? A mashup?

James Holman:, external Great stuff in the women's downhill! So close! Men's ice hockey starts today, excuse me while I do a jig of delight!

Thanks for all your contributions so far this morning. Keep them coming. How did you rate Chemmy Alcott's performance?

What do you think of Liz Nicholl's thoughts that the Games will be "a disappointment" if Britain don't meet their target of three medals? What are you most looking forward to watching in the remaining 11 days of competition?

"Laundry day at the Sochi 2014 international broadcast centre. Long line. Mid-Games-clothing-panic syndrome."

BBC Radio 5 live sports news correspondent in Sochi

"Liz Nicholl also told BBC Sport: 'Three [medals] is the number below which there would be a sense of disappointment. We know we've got a good number of opportunities and [below] three is the number the sports themselves would be disappointed with.

"'So is it achievable? Yes. It's achievable because we've got skeleton still to come, we've got the curlers still in with a shout, we've got Woodsy [James Woods] still to come."

"A number of sports have recently had their budgets slashed while basketball, women's water polo and synchronised swimming all had their funding completely withdrawn following poor performances.

"In total £14m of National Lottery derived funding has been invested, via UK Sport, in athletes participating for Team GB in Sochi."

"The head of UK Sport believes it will be "a disappointment" if Team GB fails to reach its target of at least three medals at the Sochi Winter Olympics.

"Liz Nicholl, chief executive of the body which decides funding levels for elite sport in the UK, believes the overall target of three to seven medals is a realistic goal.

"Great Britain currently lie joint-21st in the medal table with one bronze, courtesy of snowboarder Jenny Jones in the women's slopestyle."

Britain's Chemmy Alcott, who recovered from a double leg break in 2010 and another fracture last year, can't stop smiling following her 19th-place finish in the women's downhill. "You get two minutes to show everyone what you have done for the last four years," she said.

"A top-20 after what I've been through is amazing justice. It was not pretty, but to finish less than two minutes out in an Olympic downhill - I'm swelling with pride."

On her prospects in Saturday's super-G, Alcott added: "This morning we were training and the guys were injecting the course so I'm feeling great for that."

We can expect fireworks in the Canada v USA match if their last few encounters are anything to go by. In a six-match warm-up series prior to Sochi, there were two interruptions of major brawls.

The women's ice hockey match that everybody has been wanting to see takes place later today when defending champions Canada take on USA in a repeat of the Vancouver 2010 final. Both sides are already through to the semi-finals, having won both of their group games, with many seeing this tie as a dress rehearsal for the final.
