The skaters will soon be on the ice for the first quarter final. Elise Christie goes in the second race.

There are four skaters in each race, the top two go through.

Adam Zimmer: Nothing I want more at Pyeongchang than to see Elise Christie win Gold! A medal will be so good but gold will be awesome and emotional. Will never forget her interviews in Sochi.

The hopes of the nation rest on the shoulders and the skates of Elise Christie, who is about to go in her quarter final.

The top two progress. Watch at the top of the page.

BBC One has a Christie Countdown, it must be getting close...

12 minutes and counting .

The first two in each quarter-final qualify for the semi-finals, and the first two from each semi-final reach the A final, in which the medals are decided. There is also a B final for the third and fourth-placed semi-finalists.

Ben Thom-Wood: Go Elise Christie, you got this!

Atmosphere building here at the Ice Arena ahead of what could be a dramatic night of short track speed skating action.

Great to see so many passionate fans heading into the venue - the noise in here tonight could be deafening!

She came through it [her first race] very comfortably and confidently and I actually think it will get easier for her as the night goes on.

I read her saying she has never been that nervous before. But coming in today she has skated very well and she has had more recovery. It's about keeping calm and relaxed and doing everything she has done over the last four years.

I'm calling it that Elise Christie will win a medal tonight. I'm not saying which colour but I certainly think she will win one.

The support that she has had over the last four years has been tremendous. For her, she feels like it's pay back time for all the support people have given her. It will be interesting to see whether she is enjoying the experience.

One of the worst things that can happen at the Olympic Games is the pressure gets too much and you lose enjoyment. Hopefully that won't be the case and from what I saw on Saturday I don't think it will be.

Are we going to see Team GB’s first medal of Pyeongchang 2018 in the next couple of hours? Elise Christie is in the 500m Short Track quarter-final at 10.02 GMT then (hopefully) the semi-final at 11.11 GMT and the final at 12.09 GMT . We're live on BBC Radio 5 live.

Four years since Elise Christie was disqualified in all three of her events and endured both online abuse and death threats after a collision with a South Korean skater, she finally has the chance to write a happier chapter in Olympic history.

Pyeongchang will be Christie's third Games and, having used therapy to overcome the emotional struggles that plagued her after Sochi, she enters these Olympics with genuine medal potential at all three distances.

The Scot is the current world champion and world record holder over 500m, but knows the home crowd will be against her in the sport's spiritual home.

Her quarter-final is scheduled for 10:02 GMT, the semi-finals start at 11:11 and the final is due at 12:09.

South Korea is nine hours ahead of the UK, meaning the majority of the action is happening as most people are tucked up in bed. That means, unless you're a diehard Olympic fan, you've probably missed most of the excitement so far.

Well, we have a proposition for you. Christie's quarter-final is scheduled for 10:02 GMT, the semi-finals start at 11:11 and the final is due at 12:09.

So, cancel that work meeting, rearrange your social calendar, tell your mum you can't make that brunch date you'd arranged weeks ago - basically, stop whatever you're doing and switch the telly on. Even if you only watch one thing over the Games (we won't judge, promise) make it this.

They [the British skeleton team] are so confident because they are trying new lines! It takes real guts to say 'I've won a run, but I'm going to try something different now.' It's so exciting!

That's a real shame for the Briton. Andrew Young will not be returning to the quarter-finals. He has been and continues to be a brilliant ambassador for British cross-country skiing but he will not be going through. That is a shame.

Rowan Cheshire's blooded and battered face became one of the major talking points of Sochi 2014 as the pre-Games medal contender crashed during ski halfpipe training and missed the Olympics with concussion.

She suffered panic attacks and severe migraines after two subsequent concussions over the next 18 months but is finally back and nearing peak condition.

“I’m feeling really good and super excited to get back out there again, but obviously the nerves are going to kick in closer to the competition,” she told me today.

“The last four years have been a whirlwind so making it here is amazing and to be able to show my country and family and everyone at home what I can do will be a dream.”

Elise Christie will be hoping to clinch the first Olympic medal of her career. She's the world champion and world record holder over 500m, so theoretically, it should be plain sailing for her.

Christie won her 500m short track heat in an Olympic record time of 42.872 seconds during Saturday's qualifying (although that record only lasted a few minutes).

But anything can happen - just look back to Australia's first Winter Olympics gold medal in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA in 2002.

Steven Bradbury became the first Australian to win a Winter Olympic gold when all of his opponents were involved in a collision on the very last corner and he was able to avoid them to skate over the line for victory.

Andrew Young is OUT - he will not make the next round.

As Team GB's Elise Christie prepares to race again at Pyeongchang 2018, we look at just how short a short-track speed skating race can be for some competitors.
