'Handy' Boarders, Bloody Draculas and old-school jumpers - it all sounds fancy, and it looks pretty good too.

Here's what caught our eye in the slopestyle. Enjoy.

Johannes Ludwig of Germany is the man on the track at the moment. He is the third one zooming down the track. Great British pair Adam Rosen and Rupert Staudinger are 31st and 34th to go respectively.

There are 40 competitors and everyone will go again in their second runs from 12:00 GMT.

There will definitely be a new track record here today.

Watch on BBC One now. It is absolutely nuts!

Sweden won their opening match in the women's ice hockey with a 2-1 victory over Japan.

Here you can watch Sara Hjalmarsson score the winner.

No joy for Farrell Treacy in the opening heat of the men's 1500m as the Briton slides into the barriers, crashing down and out of contention.

Victory goes to Hungary's Liu Shaolin Sandor, the boyfriend of Elise Christie, followed by Canada's Samuel Girard and Semen Elistratov of the Olympic Athletes from Russia team.

I feel like I'm about to compete myself. I'm really excited but also starting to feel nervous as if I were Elise [Christie's] mum...

One of Britain's best medal chances - Elise Christie - gets her third Olympic campaign under way in the short track 500m qualifiers.

It was in this event in Sochi that she crossed the line in second place in the final, only to be disqualified for causing two other competitors to fall over in a chaotic race. She went on to suffer two further disqualifications and went home without a medal.

But four years later, the Scottish 27-year-old is now a triple World Champion and appeared very relaxed at training earlier this week, despite the big media attention.

"Training's been good, the ice is good, and the team morale seems really high so it's been fun so far. I'm enjoying it," she said.

Christie goes in heat four at approximately 10:50 GMT, with team-mates Kat Thomson and Charlotte Gilmartin in heats two and eight respectively.

We are now on BBC One for the next few hours. Press play at the top to watch along.

And let's hear from the man Nick is talking about.

Germany's two-time Olympic luge champion Felix Loch is hopeful of a winning a third gold at the 2018 Games in Pyeongchang.

No deckchairs in sight - but rest assured the Germans are here early to claim their spot at the men's luge. Felix Loch is the main to beat as he aims for a third Winter Olympic gold.

He's got a cool name and a trendy pony tail - but what else do we know about short-track skater Farrell Treacy?

The 22-year-old competed at junior world championships for his country but this is his first Olympics. Apparently his guilty food is soft cheese and he really likes Iron Man.

Look out for Treacy in the first heat of the men's 1500m from 10:00 GMT.

The absence of South Korea-born Russian six-time Olympic champion Viktor Ahn is a boost for the host nation in the 1500m.

The battle between their 1500m world champion Sin Da-woon and overall world champion Seo Yi-ra is likely to be one of the highlights of the Games.

The heats, semi-finals and final all take place in a two-and-a-half hour period. Not much time to recover for the athletes involved.

Who's excited?

Elise Christie will be on the track in an hour's time in heat four of the Women's 500m short track speed skating.

Fancy seeing the luckiest gold medal in Winter Olympics history? Of course you do, and it is part of our package of spectacular falls and drama.

A lot of our attention over the next couple of hours is going to be on the short track speed skating.

Not sure what that is? Watch our handy 30-second guide to find out how it works and who to look out for at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

Coming up a little later is the men's luge. British duo AJ Rosen and Rupert Staudinger will be competing.

Rosen is used to the Olympic stage as it's his third time competing in the tournament. He holds the record for the best ever British Luge finish, which was sixth place in the World Cup in Calgary, Canada, in 2009. The track where the movie Cool Runnings is based...

For Staudinger, 20, it's his first Olympic Games.

They aren't considered one of the favourites but there's plenty of big names in the race including double Olympic champion Felix Loch.

Pokerman: Can we all just take a minute and appreciate how difficult it must be to play ice hockey?! I mean I can’t even take to the ice without holding on to the sides...

Farrell Treacy is the first member of the GB speed skating team out in the men's 1500m at 10:00 GMT in heat one of six. The top two qualify for the semi-finals which take place from 11:21, with the medal final at 12:26.

Treacy, who is 22 and from Henley-in-Arden, competed for the Solihull Mohawks club with his two younger brothers before joining the GB squad in the summer of 2012.

Among his rivals in heat one are Hungary's Liu Shaolin Sandor, the boyfriend of Treacy's team-mate Elise Christie.
