Which brings us to our conclusion. Stay tuned to the Red Button for highlights throughout the evening, then get up bright and early to see the GB women's curlers take on South Korea.

On the day that Lizzy Yarnold became Queen Elizabeth, it's farewell.

Tomorrow? Well tomorrow could bring even more British medal success. Elise Christie, who was denied a sliver medal in the women's 500m short track speed skating, goes in the 1500m alongside team-mate Charlotte Gilmartin.

Elsewhere, Chemmy Alcott line-up in the Super G, Kristan Bromley and Dom Parsons feature in the final two runs of the men's skeleton, and both curling teams are in action - the women twice.

Away from the Britons, there's the small matter of the United States v Russia in men's hockey. Tasty.

Skeleton gold medal winner Lizzy Yarnold on Today at the Games: "I have not looked at my phone at all, or even the timesheet. I have been talking to my family and friends, and that is so important.

"The key is about knowing yourself. My coaches really respect that I do not want to talk to anyone an hour before the run, I need to know they are with me.

"Mental toughness is about believing in yourself, and never limiting yourself.

"I got lost on my last run. I started skidding sideways, but I relaxed as I knew I had a big lead.

"There were a few mistakes, but I tried to enjoy it."

All of that leaves Germany still on top of the medals table with seven golds, ahead of Switzerland on five and four nations on four. Great Britain, now with that precious gold of Lizzy Yarnold, are in 15th.

Elsewhere today, there was gold medals for Belarussian Darya Domracheva in the women's 15km biathlon and Switzerland's Dario Cologna in the men's 15km cross-country.

In figure skating, Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu built on a world-record short programme yesterday to take gold in the men's free.

GB women's curling skip Eve Muirhead on BBC Two's Today at the Games: "We are relaxed about how it is going for us so far. We are simply enjoying it."

Great Britain's curlers continued their group matches, with the men and women both tasting success.

Eve Muirhead's women recorded a 12-3 win against Japan, matching the record victory against the United States from earlier in the Games.

Dave Murdoch's men needed a Denmark mistake in the final end for their 8-6 win.

The men sit joint-top of their table, alongside Sweden, while the women are joint-third. The top four in each qualify for the semi-finals.

Watch GB men beat Denmark.

Miller had won five previous Olympic medals, including one gold. This time, though, success would go to a surprise winner, Switzerland's Sandro Viletta. Miller could only manage sixth.

For most, the Winter Olympics means downhill skiing, and this morning it was the turn of the men in the super combined. One downhill run, followed by one slalom. Could American Bode Miller give a boost to the United States?

Aerials is perhaps the most ridiculously dangerous sport in all of the Winter Olympics. Ski downhill...hit a vertical slop upwards...get propelled to a height of a six-storey building, then try to land on your feet. For most of the competition it seemed that completing a run without falling was a victory. In the end, Belarus's Alla Tsuper was the last woman standing.

But Lizzy Yarnold was not the only gold medal winner today, and not the only woman becoming an Olympic champion in a sport that requires bravery beyond us regular fools.

Lizzy Yarnold's mother Judith on Today at the Games: "I am lost for words. I am so proud of her, ever since she was 11 she has been professional and focused in her training.

"We are hoping we get some time to spend with her before the ceremony on Saturday. We are all back at work on Monday, it has been a quick visit which has been well worth it."

Father Clive: "Lizzy was lovely today, she did an excellent job of producing what she has all season. We can actually say she is an Olympic champion and that is mad."

Sister Katy: "Our mum is a PE teacher, so we did not have a choice but to be interested in sport growing up."

Sister Charlotte: "She beat us at individual sports, but at team sports, we would win."

"I can't believe I'm Olympic champion" - watch Lizzy Yarnold's reaction to winning gold.

Clare Balding has just told us that Yarnold is having her routine doping test, leaving her parents and sisters to speak to Today at the Games.

In winning gold, not only did Yarnold join that exclusive British club that now has 10 members, but also became the 24th British Winter Olympic medallist overall. In the last four Olympics, British women have won two skeletons golds, a silver and a bronze.

No way. Gold for Great Britain. Lizzy Yarnold being crowned Queen Elizabeth of the Sochi skeleton. Union flags waving, tears in the crowd, celebrations across the nation.

The start...the launch...a rapid entry to increase her lead still further. Then a slide, a little wobble. Problems? Would she be denied?
