  4. Moments of the Games: Two sports, two golds for Ledeckapublished at 12:11 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2018

    Alpine skiing: Women's super-G / Snowboarding: Women's parallel slalom

    Ed Leigh
    Freestyle skiing and snowboarding commentator on BBC TV

    My highlight of the Games was Ester Ledecka, not just the first athlete competing in snowboarding and alpine skiing, but the first ever to gold medal in two completely separate sports.

    She is a snowboarder first and foremost and she took gold in the parallel slalom event but she also took gold in the super G and for me a snowboarder of my generation, who was persecuted by the skiing fraternity, we were seen as second class citizens. So seeing a snowboarder take one of their treasured gold medals is especially enjoyable.

    Done. I'll miss this. It's a huge privilege to be allowed anywhere remotely near Olympic broadcasting - these people work incredibly hard and they're a great team to be around.

    Thanks for watching and listening, and congratulations to Korea on being wonderful, gracious hosts.

    Snowboard: Ladies' halfpipe

    Radzi Chinyanganya
    Presenter on BBC TV

    My moment of the Olympics has to be when America’s Chloe Kim took gold in the women’s snowboard halfpipe.

    The pressure and expectation that she had coming in to what was her very first Winter Olympics.

    And to deliver how she did with back to back 1080s in a country, Korea, that have essentially adopted her as one of her own is nothing short of monumental.

  8. Time for some, er, music...published at 12:09 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2018

    Some K-Pop to, er, enjoy, I guess for you now.

    If you like that sort of thing. The locals seem to like it.

    My reaction is probably how the world reacted to the Mr Bean segment of the 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony.

    A fitting end to a career that transcended boundaries from start to finish. Gold number eight for Marit Bjorgen. 15 medals in all. A privilege to be in the Box for 23 races over the last 16 days.

    That’s it for the excellent Ollie Williams and I. We are off in search of a bar!

  18. Russia Olympic ban to be lifted, says IOCpublished at 11:58 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2018

    The silver and bronze medallists for that race are Olympic Athletes From Russia members, but there is still no Russian flag at this ceremony.

    However, Russia's Olympic ban will be lifted if there are no more doping violations from their athletes at Pyeongchang 2018, the International Olympic Committee has ruled.

    However, the IOC says Russian athletes will not be allowed to parade under their own flag at the closing ceremony.

    Russia was banned because of state-sponsored doping at Sochi 2014.

    A team of 168 competed in South Korea as neutral Olympic athletes from Russia (OAR) but two failed drugs tests.

  19. Finland's Niskanen gets his goldpublished at 11:56 Greenwich Mean Time 25 February 2018

    We are also having the medal ceremony from yesterday's men's 50km mass start in the cross-country skiing competition.

    Finland's Iivo Niskanen won his first individual Winter Olympic gold medal after a gripping finish to the men's 50km cross country skiing mass start.

    Niskanen, who won a team sprint title four years ago, held off Alexander Bolshunov of the Olympic athletes from Russia to win by 18.7 seconds.
