Right then, down to the nitty gritty. One stone apiece remaining. Japan are trying to board up the front door to the house, GB are kicking it down. Advantage GB?

The men's ice hockey prelims are about to get under way, with world champions Sweden taking on Norway.

Thomas Muirhead nearly sent a cameraman flying after that last shot - he was trying to gesture to his skip and ending up walking into the man with the camera.

Could have been disastrous, that... you can watch live on BBC Two, and at the top of this page.

Halfway through the final end - and the house is there for the taking. Who's going to nab the keys? Our money is on GB... no, Japan... no, GB... ah, forget it. It's too close to call....

Elise Christie has received plenty of support following her disappointment in the 500m short-track final yesterday.

“I’ve heard from Jessica Ennis and Kelly Holmes and they are my two biggest heroes and it’s overwhelming they’ve messaged me," she told Eurosport.

“This is a total opposite feeling to Sochi and I feel ready to go again. I’m super focused for the 1000m, which is my last event, because that’s my favourite and best distance.

"I’m just getting back on track for that and I’ll still be racing fearless."

The curling teams are really close. The girls will have the curling on back in the village, willing the boys on, and I think if the boys can get a win, it will really gee the girls up for their game against China today.

Some British palms ruefully stroking foreheads after their final stone of the penultimate end. It comes short - and leaves Japan eyeing two points.

It's not a gimme that will skittle GB's previous stone out of the way though... and they can't nail it.

One point will have to do - and that means it is all down to the final end. Keep your nerve lads.

It's all got a bit tense in the curling...

Norway's Ragnhild Haga puts one hand on the gold medal with a stunning effort of 25 minutes 00.5 seconds.

Sweden's Charlotte Kalla is in second, 20.3 seconds back.

Veteran Marit Bjoergen and Finland's Krista Parmakoski are tied for third.

Plenty of competitors still on the course but the celebrations have already started with none of those set to challenge the podium.

Great Britain's Annika Taylor is one of those out on the course, but she is well down the standings with around 3km to go.

Rachel: When you need to get ready for work but the curling has your attention...

Lauren Pike: I never thought curling could be so intense!

I mean.

This looks painful in so many different ways...

Ragnhild Haga has just completed an astonishing run in the women's time trial!

She's currently in front of Charlotte Kalla by 20 seconds. She's timed the absolute pants off her final charge, and collapsed to the ground as soon as she crossed the line.

The Norwegian is in front with 25 minutes remaining.

Very much on board with this idea, James.

I really want us to have our annual BBC Sport Christmas party at a curling rink. If my boss is reading, you know what to do...

James Marsters: Can we have a UK Curling Premier League please? Free-to-air only - thanks.

It's very much a Scandi-off here at the cross-country skiing.

Sweden are cheering for Hanna Falk and five-time Olympic medalist Charlotte Kalla.

The main Norwegian contingent are backing Marit Bjorgen - a six-time gold medallist - who has finished with a time of 25:32.4. She's top of the standings at the moment.

Approaching the final stages Great Britain lead 5-4, but Japan are pushing them all the way, it really is tight here.

"Oooohh heavy," groans GB skip Kyle Smith as he sends down the last stone of the eighth end.

"It's not heavy!" replies his brother - and lead - Cammy.

Luckily, Cammy is right. GB back on the board and have a 5-4 lead with two ends remaining. Tense - and tactical - times ahead.

There's more curling for you to feast your eyes on - Great Britain's men are in action right now, and Eve Muirhead and her rink are back out at 11:05 GMTto face China.

There's ice hockey galore, with both men and women's prelims, before Martin Foucard defends his individual biathlon title at 11:00.

Luge team relay - which looks, frankly, terrifying - also gets going at 12:30, while there's the men's 10,000m speed skating final from 11:00.

Basically - there's plenty to keep you interested1
