    Yarnold literally jumped with delight when I told her that her team-mate was also in medal contention (0.07 seconds behind) last night after the second run, but when I asked about their relationship it was quite an interesting response.

    “It’s not a friendly rivalry, when we’re on the track we are trying to beat each other like any other athlete,” she told me.

    “We are really good friends and will go back and have a cup of tea and chat about the race - so I’m really lucky to have a friend like her but I know on the track it’s all business.”

    Skeleton: Women's final runs

    Olympic gold medallist skeleton racer on BBC TV

    My nerves are horrendous! I've had the butterflies since the moment I woke up knowing just how big a day this is for our girls.

    Lizzy Yarnold's first run was just outstanding but in her second run she made three big mistakes. But she still held on to that third place.

    Laura Deas only made one mistake on that second run and climbed up to fourth, so they are in great positions.

    Skeleton: Women's final heats

    Lizzy Yarnold, aiming to become the first Brit to defend a Winter Olympic title, briefly topped the standings yesterday.

    She was the quickest of the bunch in the first run, but had to settle for third place by the end of the day.

    Compatriot Laura Deas had a superb second run to get herself up into fourth place - 0.17 seconds off the lead.

    We're 20 minutes away from the third women's skeleton run, with two Brits firmly in medal contention...

    Short track: Men's 1000m quarter-final

    Oh - one of the favourites, Netherlands' Sjinkie Knegt, has been penalised.

    That means Treacy moves up to fourth, but it's not enough to qualify for the semi-finals.

    Skeleton: Women's heat three

    The fans are out in force tonight!

    Could the British skeleton duo Laura Deas and Lizzy Yarnold make it a historic day for Team GB?

    The nation’s best-ever day at a Winter Olympics came back in 1924 when they won silver and bronze medals and GB already have a bronze through Izzy Atkin earlier.

    With Elise Christie also progressing - it ‘could’ be a very special few hours ahead..

    There are some brief ice repairs taking place.

    A little spray - think a mini-fire extinguisher - gets sprayed on the fresh ice to help it set.

    Charlotte Gilmartin has got some good skills in the 1500m. She has had some time off to prepare for this race and she looked really good.

    She will be pleased with that. Though in the next race she needs to skate to the line!

    Gold Medal - Norwaypublished at 10:47 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2018

    Cross-country skiing: Women's 4 x 5km relay

    Norway handed over to Marit Bjorgen in third place, 3.4 seconds behind leaders Sweden. But the 'Iron Lady' closes that gap before holding off Sweden's Stina Nilsson to win by 2 seconds.

    That's now three medals for Bjorgen in Pyeongchang - and her first gold.

    But more importantly, Bjorgen goes level with compatriot Ole Einar Bjorndalen as the most decorated Winter Olympian of all time. They've both won 13 in total.

    That just showed how confident Elise Christie was in this race. She took her time and just waited. When she put her foot down, it was round the outside and she left everybody standing.

    She made it look so easy. She was just concentrating on the process and not the medal.
