    GB's park and pipe head coach Pat Sharples speaking to BBC TV: "Woodsy put down the biggest run that's ever been done. He smashed it! He just made a few mistakes that cost him.

    "Everybody went for gold, they went big. It was one of the biggest slopestyle competitions that's been done. Everyone went for the top."

    British men's slopestyle finallist James Woods speaking to BBC TV: "Results aren't why I'm here. All I really want is to get the drop and showcase what I can do to everybody who is interested. It's a big audience.

    "It wasn't quite perfect - hence the fourth placed finish - but it's a game of perfection. It's all about the people and pushing yourself to the absolute maximum.

    "That's where I get my inspiration for. It really is for you. We have always been showoffs - it's how we got into it."

    'We showed grit'published at 09:22 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2018

    GB 7-6 Denmark

    The British men edged their curling match this morning, and the women are in action just after 11:00 GMT.

    Kyle Smith: "We were probably a wee bit fortunate. We felt almost a little flat after the fifth end so it was really pleasing that we bounced back from that. We got our two straight away in six to level the game up.

    "There were a couple of moments where it could maybe have gone either way but we've come out on the right side in the end which shows the grit and determination we've got in our team."

    On throwing the final stone with the match at stake:

    "Just to try and stay in the moment on what I'm doing and focus on wherever I'm throwing to on the sheet. I've got technical points for my delivery that I think about. There's not much more to it. The boys have been very good, they've given us big scoring areas when we've had those chances which has been good so far."

    From fast-food to fast-skiing.

    Unlike the majority of the British athletes competing here at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics Molly Summerhayes isn’t funded by U.K. Sport.

    Although supported by the British Olympic Association (BOA) whilst on Team GB duty she had to support travel to events and day-to-day living costs by working - at McDonald's.

    “It’s really surprised me as it’s something everyone asks me whenever I do an interview, but to me it’s part of who I am and they have been really supportive,” Molly tells me.

    “McDonald's is where I worked before the Olympics, I’ve had loads of messages from all my friends there and it’s where I’ll be after the Olympics.”

  10. I didn't know that...published at 08:52 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2018

    Figure skating made its Olympic debut in 1908 - at the summer Games. Despite being a traditional winter sport, the International Olympic Committee approved its inclusion because it took place indoors. It featured again in 1920 before switching to the Winter Olympics in 1924.

    Ice Hockey: USA 5-0 Finland (women's semi-final)

    Dani Cameranesi scored two goals and US goaltender Maddie Rooney made 14 saves as the Americans, who haven't won Olympic gold in 20 years, booked a place in Thursday's women's Ice Hockey final.

    "It's honestly a dream come true," US forward Hilary Knight said.

    "It's the world's biggest stage. It's the game you've been dreaming of. You have to keep working and do the things you do well."

    The Canadians take a 23-game Olympic winning streak into their semi-final against the Olympic Athletes from Russia later today [12:10 GMT.]

    They edged the US women in over-time for 2014 Olympic gold but have lost the past three world finals to the Americans.

    It was the stuff of nightmares for French figure skater Gabriella Papadakis in Pyeongchang over night though.

    The 22-year-old had just started her short dance routine at the Winter Olympics when her dress came undone, leaving her chest exposed.

    Papadakis "felt it right away and prayed", continuing her routine with partner Guillaume Cizeron to deliver a performance that leaves them in second heading into Tuesday's free dance.

    "It was pretty distracting," she said.

    "My worst nightmare at the Olympics. I told myself 'you have to keep going'.

    "That's what we did, and we have to be proud of ourselves, delivering a great performance with that happening."

    Nick Buckland speaking to BBC TV: "To get out there and put a good performance out at this stage is really great. We said we needed to be competitive to put us in the high group for the free dance tomorrow."

    Partner Penny Coomes, who recovered from a serious knee injury to make it to the Olympic Games: "It's a different feeling going into a competition. I'm so excited to be out there and I'm just happy to be here.

    "I just smiled to myself because after everything I've been through, I've made it. My knee is in a really good place.

    "Before the Europeans I was struggling a little bit but I feel fine now and as long as I look after it, I'll be okay.

    "Our free dance [which will take place on Tuesday] is set to music by Muse. It's very atmospheric.

    "We wanted to perform it one last time. It's a really exciting programme and we can't wait."

    Coomes & Buckland impress

    Great Britain's Penny Coomes and Nick Buckland safely progressed to the final day of the ice dance competition at the Winter Olympics.

    The pair scored 68.36 in the short dance and finished 10th with the top 20 competing in Tuesday's free dance.

    Coomes and Buckland are making their third appearance at a Winter Games, two years after Coomes smashed her kneecap into eight pieces and was told she would never skate again.

    Christopher Dean, who won Olympic gold alongside Jayne Torvill in 1984, helped choreograph the pair's routine.

    Coomes and Buckland will now compete in the free dance on Tuesday, starting at 01:00 GMT, with the medals awarded to the pairs with the highest cumulative score over the two dances.
