illinformedbystander: Curling. Housework on ice.

Hold up. The curling equivalent of a ruler is one the ice to see who has scored in this second end.

The Danes are high-fiving, but the ruler is still being swept in a circle...

Skeleton: Head first down a tube of ice.

Luge: Feet first down a tube of ice.

Moguls: Skiing over bumps.

You get the idea.

Anyway, how the devil are you? Excited about the weekend? How have you been marking end of the working week? Maybe you're still at the grind, or somewhere warm. Let me know.

Watching the curling has me wondering how one might describe it to someone who had never seen it before.

The best I can come up with is 'stones and sweeping'.

If you can do better, let me know. The fewer words the better.

When you've got the hammer - the last stone advantage - you really want a score of at least two.

It's only the first end and I guess if you're going to lose a shot, lose it in the first end and build from there.

Ah, that's not a great start. A mistake from Eve Muirhead with the final stone of the end sees GB go one behind despite having the advantage in the opening stanza.

The skip made contact with the wrong side of one of two Danish stones in the house, leaving one red brick remaining. GB down and Denmark with the advantage in end two.

We're just coming to the end of the first, erm, end. Great Britain, some in their white T-shirts, others in grey jackets, have the hammer.

Denmark, in red and playing with red stones, have one pesky stone in the house.

GB might have to settle for a single stone, which would be disappointing.

However, I'm willing to be a pound to a penny that, if you're staying up, it's for the curling.

After a day off yesterday, Eve Muirhead's British women are back on the ice, taking on Denmark.

With two wins from their first three games, GB are third in the 10-team table. The top four qualify for the semis.

First up in the Great British medal stakes on Saturday are Izzy Atkin and Katie Summerhayes in the women's ski slopestyle.

Atkin is in form after taking X Games silver last month and she also won a medal at last year's World Championships. She is a serious medal contender.

Summerhayes was seventh in Sochi but her run up to Pyeongchang has been hampered by an ankle injury which she has only just recovered from.

But she's here and ready to give it everything.

Ah, yes, it could be a metal-laden super Saturday for Great Britain. Lizzy Yarnold, Laura Deas and Elise Christie could all find themselves on the podium.

That, though, is much later, in the hours of daylight.

Before then, Katie Summerhayes and Izzy Atkin are in with a shout of hardware in the women's slopestyle skiing.

There are also gold medals to be won in figure skating and the women's super G, even if that has been delayed by an hour (until 03:00 GMT) because of yet more high wind.

...more to come?

Success secured...

...and heart-warming.

Heartbreaking...

and sometimes sublime.

Sometimes thrilling...
