She's human. Chloe Kim, the leader, the superstar, a gift to snowboarding, falls on her second run, attempting back-to-back 1080s. If she had nailed that, it would have been extraordinary.

Here's Chloe Kim. If you missed her first run, watch it here...

Liu, of China, is happy. She repeats her first run, but lands it cleaner. She throws her hands in the air when she finishes. has she given up on chasing Chloe Kim, instead preferring to nail second place? She succeeds. Four points added, silver safe for now.

Agony for Japan's Haruna Matsumoto, who falls after her final trick in her second run. Fifth after the first run, she could have been in with a shout of the top three had she not had that sit down. Top two to come. Jiayu Liu, then Chloe Kim...

The applause to any rider that isn't Chloe Kim tells you how much the Korean crowd are behind the American. Spain's Queralt Castellet lands a 1080, but only earns a polite ripple. She moves up to sixth.

All over. The Olympic Athletes from Russia win the first Olympic medal in mixed curling. They led from the opening end of the third-place play-off and never relinquished their advantage. They win 8-4 and condemn Norway to fourth place. A bronze medal for married couple Aleksandr Krushhelnnitckii and Anastasia Bryzgalova.

Chloe Kim's mum and dad are here, holding signs that say "Go Chloe". Kelly Clark, third after the first run, improves her score, but not enough to move up the leaderboard. Fellow American Arielle Gold, who fell on her first run, has stayed upright to move fourth.

That's an incredible spot, Samantha. I'd say you should get a job here, but we all know he's not Russian. Or is he? I'm confused...

OAR are being cheered on by their women's team. Huge last stone of the seventh end from Norway. If this is missed, OAR could get four stones and the game would be as good as up. It's poor from Kristin Skaslien, too heavy, through the back. One more point to the OAR. The bronze is almost won.

The gauntlet has been laid down by Chloe Kim - 'Can you catch me?'

She's looking surprised but, on the form she's shown in the last three years, it's almost expected.

There's the weight of expectation of two nations on her shoulders here.

Never in doubt. Chloe Kim scores 93.75 to lead this women's halfpipe final.

Gold already in the bag?

Air. Frontside 1080. Loses speed, but still gets the 720. McTwist. Flawless stuff.

Here we go then. Kim has just seen China's Jiayu Liu take the lead. Dressed in grey, snood round the neck, music in the ears. Off she goes...

David Shaw: I can’t see pass Chloe Kim for gold however one slip could make for an interesting final! Good luck to all 12 ladies and stay safe.

Charge! The OAR with the hammer, a red stone sent straight and fast to blast the target area clean. One point picked up. They lead by two with only two ends to come.

Chloe Kim next to go in the women's halfpipe final...

More of this sort of thing. America's Maddie Mastro sings at the beginning of her run, only for her first trick to end in a seat on her backside. More singing, less sitting, please.

Meanwhile, that curling bronze-medal match continues to be a see-saw affair. Norway picked up two stones in the fifth end and have the opportunity to pressure OAR's hammer in the sixth. Good contest.

Liam O'Toole: I can't help watching the snowboarding here, without humming the tune from the Tony Hawk video game.

Lee Ferguson: The ability, skill and the tricks of these snowboarders is beyond belief!
