I think I speak for everyone in Pyeongchang when I say THANK GOODNESS the weather has improved.

It's by far the best day we've had so far in Alpensia. It's a comfortable one degrees, it's sunny and that dastardly wind has ceased.

The women's 10km freestyle is about to get under way at the cross-country centre, and it looks stunning.

BBC commentator Seth Bennett loved the ice hockey action earlier on as Canada beat USA 2-1 in the women's preliminary round match. In the men's competition, Finland have beaten Germany 5-2.

You can't get any closer to the action than this. Here you are in the men's snowboard cross without even getting cold.

There's a lot of GB red stones in there at the moment - Japan might be getting a bit nervous. Japan will be looking to get two in come the end, when they currently have none, but it only takes one shot to change all that.

What's next? What's next?

Well, the next gold medal to be handed out will come in the cross-county skiing. The ladies' 10km free event gets going at 06:30 GMT, and should be done by 08:00 GMT.

The British men are still 3-1 ahead against Japan into the fifth end of 10 in their men's round robin match. It is one win, one loss so far for the GB men.

Team GB have come out with all guns blazing after yesterday's defeat to Canada.

Thomas Muirhead has been playing some wonderful shots. On paper, they're looking really strong at the moment.

Still a long way to go though.

Aside from a personal achievement – of becoming the oldest-ever downhill champion Aksel Lund Svindal has also made Norwegian history by claiming the only Olympic alpine skiing title to elude the nation to date.

However, while the 35-year-old was clearly delighted with the success, he used his post-event press conference to express his disappointment that more spectators had not turned up to watch the event.

"It's a bit strange and sad to be honest because if this race were in Austria, Norway, Switzerland, France, Italy and maybe even the USA there would be a 50,000 sell-out," he says.

"The Olympics should be for everyone, but the Olympics is bigger than alpine skiing and for example perhaps short track speed skating would not be a sell-out in Norway.

"It's sad for us, but I hope more people have the chance to come and watch the Super G tomorrow."

Lots of “ooooows” and “aaaaah’s” from the media tucked away in the safety of the Press tent as the women’s giant slalom contest unfolds.

Many are out watching the action, but an army are here waiting for the eventual winner to make it through here for their post-race press conference.

We’ve just had a very interesting one with the men’s downhill champion Aksel Lund Scindal - more on that shortly...
