    Korea take it! That was absolute chaos. Skaters all over the ice, even the camera operators couldn't tell who was racing and who was waiting!

    Korea have won it from China, with Italy third. For now at least...

    Wow, what a skate! They have got a WORLD RECORD. In the B final! How frustrating for them that it was in the B final and not the A final. But what a great way to finish the competition from the Netherlands. Superb skating

    Women's 3,000m relay final

    Out on track now are the teams competing in the women's 3km relay final. Final A is on first, which doesn't win any medals, before the medal race next.

    Bizarrely, it is up to the teams to decide how many laps each of their members will race, but all of the four must take some part and the final two laps must be covered by the same skater. It is otherwise unusual for an individual athlete to exceed 1.5 laps at a time, meaning there are often four or five relay exchanges per female athlete, and up to eight in the men’s event.

    Japan's Akito Watabe leads after the ski jumping round. The normal hill silver medalist recorded a leap of 134 metres, meaning he will begin the cross-country leg ahead of Norway's Jarl Magnus Riiber.

    Austria's Wilhelm Denifl sits third, ahead of normal hill gold medalist Eric Frenzel from Germany.

    The 10km cross-country section gets underway at 12:45 GMT.

    2x6km women's and 2x7.5km men's mixed relay

    We are under way in the mixed relay in the biathlon!

    What an event this is.

    The men’s and women’s relay both feature 20 teams, each comprising four biathletes.

    The first member of each team starts simultaneously. Once they have completed their part of the race (7.5km for men, 6km for women), they tag the next member of the team to go.

    Biathletes complete three loops (2.5km per loop for men, 2km for women), shooting from prone after the first loop and from standing after the second loop.

    Because most biathletes on the opening leg arrive at the first shooting bout at similar times, they take their place according to start number. For each target that remains unhit the athlete must complete a 150m penalty loop (which typically takes around 25 seconds).

    Whichever team’s fourth and final athlete completes the course first is the winner.

    Denise Chester: Anyway I've decided speed skating is a free for all that is all.

    Lucy Manley: Can’t actually believe Elise Christie’s Olympic journey. She’s shown so much courage and composure in heartbreaking defeat. She’ll go again.

    Ethan Best: How about we just abolish the Racing and let the Judges decide the result! Where you come in the race just seems redundant anyway...

    Bear in mind that she had already crashed out and had the race restarted and this gives you a flavour of the drama served up a little earlier on...

    In terms of performance, British duo Mica McNeill and Mica Moore eased through qualification for the Winter Olympics, but life off the ice in the months leading into the Games was considerably more challenging.

    A bizarre overspend by the national governing body saw bosses controversially decide to axe all funding support for the women's programme less than six months before the Games.

    A crowdfunding campaign raised more than £41,000 for the pair, which ensured they were able to compete on the World Cup circuit and confirm their Olympic place.

    The Micas proudly wear 'powered by the people' on the side of their sled and will be hoping to build on their impressive World Cup fifth place in November.

    Everybody wants to emulate what Elise Christie has done. We have managed to set up an academy since she has become World Champion.

    In the last week alone we have had over 150 people register their interest in the sport. People are excited about short track.

    It has been massive. We have been able to move forward and that is fantastic.

    She's not the only story of the day, never mind the Games. But Elise Christie has captured the imagination...

    At the risk of being controversial, given that Elise is probably the only Olympic athlete in history to have crashed or been disqualified from 6 of 6 events, should we not be questioning her racing style rather than putting it down to bad luck?

    Crockers in London.

    Must admit, I'm fast losing interest in the speed skating. Rules seem to be different from one race to the next. Makes the sport look farcical. I don't see any difference between what Christie was judged to have done and the contact I've seen in other races in these Olympics.

    Jim Douglas

    I'm hoping now we can focus on the other amazing athletes in the Olympics. All this focus on Elise Christie who has essentially fallen at every hurdle . Understand that the country wants her to do well, but enough is enough. Let's get behind Team GB, not one person
