Finally, after two days of postponements, the 2018 Winter Olympics has alpine skiing. The men's combined, erm, combines the downhill and slalom disciplines.

Austrian uber-star Marcel Hirshcer is the man to watch here.

Charlie: Damn Chloe Kim owned that halfpipe. Untouchable!

Dru: What a ride in the women’s half pipe from Chloe Kim. Take a bow young lady, take a bow.

Nick: I know very little about halfpipe but that was bloody beautiful from Kim.

Remember, Chloe Kim is only 17 years old. She's probably got at least two Olympic Games ahead of her. Wonderful stuff. That's three American snowboarding gold medallists, too. Two of them are teenagers. Wonderful stuff.

Wow. Absolutely brilliant run from Chloe Kim and certainly no disputing who takes the gold medal. I think we might be looking at the beginning of a very long reign for a new queen of halfpipe snowboarding.

Just look at what it means, not just to the Americans but the South Koreans who have claimed her as their own. I think everyone expected this, but what i'm really pleased about is that we have seen her pushed.

98.25! Near perfection for Chloe Kim, who celebrates with the stars and stripes and runs for a hug from her parents.

Jiayu Lu of China takes the silver and America's Arielle Gold wins bronze.

The halfpipe, though, belongs to Chloe Kim.

Good lord. That was incredible. Kim lands back-to-back 1080 spins to celebrate her gold medal.

All hail the queen of halfpipe snowboarding.

1080! Wasted! Liu is down!

New Olympic champion...

Haruna Matsumoto make no impression. Chloe Kim moves one step closer to Olympic gold. China's Jiayu Liu is the only woman that can stop her...

Disappointment for Maddie Mastro, another American 17-year-old. Mastro, second in the world rankings and an X Games bronze medallist, has crashed three times. Only two more riders stand between Chloe Kim and gold...

Apparently, Chloe Kim sent that tweet four minutes ago. I'm not sure what to make of that. I mean, it seems a bit iffy that athletes are allowed to use their phones during competitions. If it is her, is it a strange thing to say, even if you are trying to be cool?

Tough to watch. Australian Emily Arthur faceplants the snow, her head cracking back like its on a piece of string. She just about manages to walk away from the pipe with the aid of medical staff.

Mark Doughty: Watching the women's halfpipe and, although I'm no snowboarding expert, the judges don't seem to be very consistent...

To set the scene, the sunshine is glistening off the white half-tube. The crowd is at the bottom, the mouth of the pipe. At the top, the riders pause, gathering their thoughts, before heading into the 160m course strapped to a wheel-free skateboard. It's a great sight, the freshness of sun on snow. It's still well below freezing, though.

Not good enough to overhaul Arielle Gold. Clark, in the top three after the first two runs, will not be winning a medal.

"U-S-A, U-S-A," comes the chant from the crowd as Arielle Gold moves into bronze-medal position. Remember, the Americans took gold in both the men and women's slopestyle, too. She might not be there for long, though. Kelly Clark has just pulled off something very tidy...

Callum: These judges are being so harsh. They're penalising creativity a bit in my opinion.

It's about keeping your nerve and keeping your body relaxed now.

If you're too tense then your timing and style will be off. Those fine timings can affect your spin, your axis and all of a sudden you've blown it. Relax and breathe out.

There's still just a little crack in the door there.

You can't say the door has been closed on the gold medal just yet, it's still up for grabs in the third runs...
