  2. Jacobellis third fastestpublished at 01:24 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2018

    Snowboarding: Ladies' snowboard cross

    Can Lindsey Jacobellis put her heartbreak of 2006, when she showboated when in the lead, fell and ended up second? She is third fastest, behind team-mate Faye Gulini in second and leader Michela Moioli of Italy.

    Twenty-four out of the 26 competitors move on from the qualification runs to the quarter-finals, although one athlete has failed to finish and another failed to start. At the moment this is just a time trial but the real drama starts when they race against each other and that will happen later on today.

    After the excitement of the men's snowboard cross yesterday, we've got the women's event on the BBC Red Button, featuring Team GB's Zoe Gillings-Brier in her fourth Olympic Games.

    Martin Johnson: How can anyone not like Snowboard cross. What a sport!

    James Bestford: loving the winter olympics. Snowboard cross is just awesome!

    Tara Hewitt: Snowboard cross looks like sliding down a 10 floor staircase with five friends while balancing a try of tea and scones on your head.....dangerous and wacky stuff....

    We recommend you DO NOT try this last one at home...

    Figure Skating: Men's single skating short program

    We are also under way over in the figure skating, with the men's single skating short program.

    USA figure skater Nathan Chen spoke to BBC Sport before the start of the Games and explained how there's more important aspects to the Olympic Games than just winning medals.

    It may not be the most important thing to Chen, but he is already after his second medal of the Games after picking up a bronze in the team event.

    Women's snowboard cross

    The first qualification run in the women's snowboard cross is under way at Phoenix Park.

    The event begins with a timed run for each competitor, which serves as a elimination round to get the field down to 24 for the knockout stage.

    It then goes on to a mass start of six riders per race on a course made up of jumps and bumps.

    Look out for solo British entry Zoe Gillings-Brier, who is looking for her first Olympic medal at her fourth Games.

    The favourites include the aforementioned American Lindsey Jacobellis, the reigning world champion, and defending Olympic champion Eva Samkova of the Czech Republic.

    Shiffrin can easily bounce back from that deficit and win her second gold of the Games.

    Excellent skiing.

  9. Shiffrin third at the momentpublished at 01:08 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2018

    Alpine Skiing: Ladies' slalom run one

    Mikaela Shiffrin is the fourth to go in the opening run of the slalom, but is only second fastest of those four, 0.48 seconds behind Switzerland's Wendy Holdener.

    So work for the American to do later on in the second run, from 04:15 GMT, but certainly not a disaster.

    However, Anna Swenn Larsson then bumps Shiffrin down a further place into third.

    We've got a busy morning, which is just how we like it. We still have the men's skeleton on BBC One with the first run of the ladies slalom getting going on the Red Button right now.

    American Mikaela Shiffrin has already had some practice in holding the Stars and Stripes aloft after winning in the giant slalom yesterday.

    Olympic gold medallist skeleton racer on BBC TV

    An incredible performance from Jerry Rice. He only started sliding in 2002. I pushed him off in Lillehammer and look at him now, he's at an Olympic Games.

    The performance and development programmes in Great Britain are working. We know how to bring the medals in and athletes like Jerry.

    Britain's Zoe Gillings-Brier is another hoping for a best result in what will be her fourth Games, but her first as a mother.

    The 32-year-old Isle of Man snowboarder gave birth to daughter Lea in 2016 and says she is "more motivated and confident" about success than ever, given the benefits an Olympic medal would also bring to her daughter's life.

  13. Jacobellis' disasterpublished at 00:58 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2018

    And this is the incident Caroline is talking about. Lindsey Jacobellis started showboating too early when heading for gold, crashed and ended up with a silver.

    Watch that moment again at the start of this video featuring some of the craziest finishes, most spectacular crashes and bizarre moments from previous Games.

    Snowboarding: Ladies' snowboard cross (01:00 GMT)

    Caroline Chapman
    BBC Sport in Pyeongchang

    Lindsey Jacobellis' story is a lesson in not showing off too much on a snowboard.

    Back in Turin in 2006, the American arrived as a big medal prospect. She had a massive lead going into the final, so decided to try and please the crowd with a nifty move...but she fell, lost her lead and had to settle for silver.

    She's not been able to make amends since, with a semi-final exit at Vancouver and Sochi.

    Despite the Olympic drama, she remains the most decorated women in snowboard-cross history. Can she finally get that gold today? The snowboard cross qualification runs start at 01:00 GMT, with the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final taking place later this morning.

  18. 'Parsons was sublime in that last run'published at 00:51 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2018

    Skeleton: Men's heat three

    Nick Hope
    BBC Sport in Pyeongchang

    Let’s be honest, when we were making our pre-Games predictions a men’s skeleton medal was never mentioned.

    That’s not to doubt the ability of GB sliders but with no World Cup podiums this season and difficult results for the last four years there was just no indication a podium finish would be a realistic target.

    Dom Parsons always talked with confidence about his chances and now we know why.

    He was sublime in that last run and we’re in a position where an Olympic medal is his to lose. Gold realistically is going to South Korea, but silver and bronze are very much up for grabs!

    We do a lot of neck strengthening exercises during the summer but you can't practice with the feeling of the g-force on your neck.

    You've got to pretend you're a tortoise, that's what we tell the kids - tuck your head up like a tortoise!

    We can't always see the corners coming, you have to go by your peripheral vision and what you feel on the sled.

  20. 'This makes great reading'published at 00:50 Greenwich Mean Time 16 February 2018

    Skeleton: Men's heat three

    This is how they stand at the moment, with Dom Parsons jumping above Nikita Tregubov, an Olympic Athlete From Russia, up into third with one run to come.

    Parsons is only four hundredths of a second behind Martins Dukurs of Latvia, but Korea's Yun Sungbin will have to have a shocker in the final run if he is not to take the gold.
