So what have you made of today's action?

Has the bravery of James Woods, the brilliance of Lizzy Yarnold or the disappointment of Elise Christie moved you to take up a winter sport?

If so, our Get Inspired page can tell you how.

Team GB skeleton bobsledder Shelley Rudman on Twitter:, external "My poor race helmet got a bit of a battering going down the track today!"

Right, turns out that stat was actually way off. Or, more likely, I massively misinterpreted it.

The truth is that one in six of Slovenia's registered ice hockey players is in their Olympic squad.

Clearly a whole different fact altogether.

Luke Fisher:, external Team GB's biggest disadvantage so far seems to be experience, medal contenders making rash decisions.

Brent Pope
BBC Sport ice hockey commentator

"The Slovenian goal has changed the entire complexion of the game with Russia, who are looking a bit ragged now."

I've just been told an amazing statistic. Apparently one in six of every registered peoeple in Slovenia plays ice hockey. Can that be true? Seems like a lot. Either way, Slovenia have pulled one back against Russia, to trail 2-1. Elsewhere, United States are 4-1 up on Slovakia.

I've just watched that Bolero routine again, reminding me of endless replays that were shown to me as a kid. The thing that sticks in my memory the most? The arena announcer. "6-0. 6-0. 6-0. 6-0. Thank you."

On Twitter:, external "Quite depressing watching the slopestyle course at Sochi 2014 being destroyed by snow machines. See you in South Korea in four years."

When I was younger, whenever Torvill and Dean were mentioned, I immediately thought of green duck Orville. Not to be confused now, but a skating puppet? Come on, that's gold.

Now then, what will you be doing tomorrow? As I'm sure you know (or at least, if you don't know now I may have just saved you a row with the other half), it's Valentine's Day.

But, what were you doing 30 years ago? Not born? Me neither. But I'm familiar with perhaps the famous moment in British Winter Olympic history - Torvill and Dean's Bolero.

That night in Sarajevo, three decades ago, the legendary pair became the highest scoring figure skaters of all time.

Team GB bronze medal winning snowboarder Jenny Jones on Twitter:, external "Yeah James Woods, you did yourself proud today!"

It may lack the thrills and spills of short track speed skating, but the longer discipline is the purer test of speed.

In individual races, skaters race in separate lanes against the clock - not each other - on a 400m oval.

All events are skated once, apart from the 500m, which is skated twice. The team pursuit follows a knockout format.

So, in under an hour, it's the women's 1000m speed skating. "Haven't we just had speed skating?" I hear you ask. Well, yes, but that was the short track version. What's the difference? Allow me to explain...

Kev in Aberdeen: Seemed to me Elise Christie had the inside so should have had the corner. That's the rule in motorsport anyway.

Get a load of these. No, it's not Ian Poulter doing the sweeping up, but a member of the Norwegian men's curling team. Do you remember the Prince Regent in Blackadder the Third. "What a pair of trousers!"

Team GB's Lizzy Arnold on Twitter:, external Well that was an awesome day at the track!!! Sliding into first place after two runs, two to go on Friday.

Just joining us? Where've you been? You have missed GB's Lizzy Yarnold taking the lead at the halfway point of the women's skeleton, James Woods battling battling to finish fifth in the ski slopestyle and, cruelly, Elise Christie being penalised in the final of the women's 500m short track speed skating and losing a silver medal.

Three gold medals have been won today, and there are three more up for grabs. The women's 1000m speed skating (not to be confused with short track) begins in about an hour, the same time as the men's 20km biathlon. Then, at 16:15 GMT, it's the wonderful spectacle of the luge relay.

Team GB snowboarder Zoe Gillings has even been scaling the heights in Sochi away from the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park as she tweets a picture, external of herself on top of the Olympic Rings. I wonder how she got up there?

After the drama, carnage and heart-break of that women's 500m short track final, there is now only a couple of men's ice hockey matches currently taking place in Sochi. Hosts Russia are 2-0 up on Slovenia, while Slovakia and the United States are goalless. Both matches can be watched at the top of this page.
