On Twitter:, external Start-coaches/team scream bobs away. Drive it like you stole it Dmitry" "imagine she's cheated on you again Aleksei!" that sort of thing.

Whoops and cheers from the home crowd as the Russians cross the line in 55.02 seconds to post a total time of 2:45.21. The team with the fastest aggregate time from all four runs will win. Rumours have it that President Putin will be in attendance for the final run, so no pressure there then.

The bobsleigh will run in competition order, which means the Russian quartet will go first, and GBR 1 will be the seventh ship to sail ... so to speak. Visors down, off we go...

Live coverage of the final day of the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics has just started on BBC Two.

"Can Great Britain finish with a flourish and land a record-breaking fifth Winter Olympic medal here in Sochi?

"I'm at the bobsleigh for the final four-man runs where 'GBR 1' - piloted by John Jackson - start seventh, but are just 0.18 seconds off the Germany team who are currently in the bronze medal position.

"GB Bobsleigh haven't won an Olympic honour since 1998, but they have a chance today. The key for the team though is top-six, they need that to help convince UK Sport to invest in their programme heading towards the 2018 Games."

One down, two to go. And the penultimate medal of the Sochi Games has British interest with John Jackson's Great Britain 1 team in with an outside chance of a medal in the four-man bobsleigh. BBC Sport's Nick Hope is trackside...

Britain's competitor Andrew Musgrave finishes 53rd in the men's 50km after almost two hours of skiing, a time of one hour 57 minutes and 08.9 seconds.

It's a big medal for Russia because Legko's gold means the hosts will finish the Sochi Games top of the medal table.

Alexander Legkov wins gold in the blue riband distance in 1hr 46min 55.2sec, a fraction of a second ahead of his team-mates Maxim Vylegzhanin and Ilia Chernousov who take silver and bronze.

Only Norway's Martin Johnsrud Sundby could keep anywhere near the rampant Russians at the end and finishes fourth.

Medals to be contested today: Bobsleigh (four-man), cross-country skiing (men's mass start), ice hockey (men's gold).

Britons in action: Four-man bobsleigh teams, Andrew Musgrave (cross-country skiing).

Day in a sentence: The men's ice hockey final wraps up Sochi's Olympics ahead of the closing ceremony.

Today is the day we say goodbye to Sochi 2014 and put the Winter Olympics into hibernation for another four years.

It has been a colourful and captivating Games, featuring near unprecedented British success and countless moments of breathtaking skill and beauty on the snow and ice.

Later on we will be reliving some of the highlights of the Games, and asking the BBC pundits to pick out their favourite memories. But first, we have a couple more gold medals to be decided...
