    Next up is the oldest competitor in the field. At the ripe old age of 31, Italian Carolina Kostner is twice as old as Russian rival Alina Zagitova. Let's find out if experience really is the key...

    The British bobsleigh crews have been out here since 1 February and they're still 24 hours away from their first day of competition.

    "After watching all the performances, we're just itching to go now," said brakeman Andrew Matthews.

    If Lamin Deen's team think they've got a clear day ahead of them now post-training, then they might have to think again. Deen's got plans for them.

    "Those four steel things that go under the sled, they need polishing," said the 36-year-old. "

    "There's a few bits and bobs to tinker with before we put the sled to bed tomorrow morning. It's going to be an early one so it's an early night tonight for everybody."

    Definitely going to have mad dreams after that lot Kyle.

    And, most importantly, is it just straight cheese? Or a hint of Worcester Sauce? I love a spot of pickle on mine...

    Absolutely on the spot.

    She's definitely a new leader, and she has laid down a gauntlet for that bronze medal position behind the Russians. She is breathing down the neck of Canada's Kaetlyn Osmond.

    That was delightful.

    Japan's Satoko Miyahara has pedigree. She was the 2016 Four Continents champion and the 2015 world silver medallist. But has the 19-year-old got an Olympic medal in her locker?

    Possibly. Miyahara does her bit, putting together an almost flawless routine which propels her into top spot.

    Let's see what the rest can do...

    The sixth and final bobsleigh training session has finished. The two British four-man teams - piloted by Lamin Deen and Brad Hall - finished 11th and 14th respectively.

    Tomorrow, they do it for real.

    "Today was alright but it's the day before the race so we want to save up our Superman energy. We didn't do anything special," said brakeman Toby Olubi on team Deen.

    "We're optimistic and we know what we can do. By tomorrow we'll be ready to rumble."

    The competition has been tight and tentative so far. We've seen strong technical difficulties but they have been let down by overall performances.

    These last six will give us performances that encapsulate everything women's figure skating is now.

    Look out for the commitment to jumping elements - skaters don't want to be looking tentative. They're all going to be going in to the jumps at some good speed on take-off, but you want to see them exiting them at the same speed.

    There also needs to be a good connection to the music and overall performance.

  10. Medvedeva still in the runningpublished at 04:08 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2018

    Two months ago two-time reigning world champion Evgenia Medvedeva looked nailed on for gold until a foot injury and the emergence of her younger training partner Zagitova.

    Zagitova's win at the European Championships last year was Medvedeva’s first defeat in over two years.

    But the 18-year-old will start today's free skate just 1.6 points behind her compatriot so don't count her out just yet.

    The sport is in her genes, her mother was a figure skater, and she is a self-confessed fan of K-Pop so may have the South Korean fans on her side.

    The leader after Wednesday's short programme, Alina Zagitova, will create a piece of history if she continues her spectacular form to win today.

    If she takes gold she will become the second youngest women’s figure skating champion in history after American Tara Lipinski in 1998.

    The Russian put in a world record performance in the short programme which edged her ahead of her fellow Russian and training partner Evgenia Medvedeva who put in a world record showing of her own, only to see it beaten moments later.

    The pair will go head-to-head on the ice but are friends off it.

    “We are humans, we communicate as usual, we are friends, we are girls, young girls," Zagitova said. "We can talk about everything to each other."

    And while they're out on the ice practising their spins, let's take a closer look at the two Russians who topped the standings going into today...

    All eyes have been on Mirai Nagasu for the last year or so because of her triple axel. She will have a great skate and then her triples will be downgraded.

    So it's great to see those green boxes. The big question is whether we're going to see an American in the top ten?

    It's a big finish from our next skater, Mirai Nagasu of the United States. She ends with the spin on one blade with the other foot lifted high above her head.

    It makes me wince just thinking it.

    It's only good enough for fourth place though.

    Six more skaters to go. They're heading out for their warm-ups now.

  15. Need for speedpublished at 03:55 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2018

    The review has deemed that Choi Dabin's triple lutz was fully rotated. We have a new leader.

    She has strong technique but a little more speed across the ice in the free programme would really help her.

    We have a new leader! Choi Dabin clocks up a seasonal best to leap above Russian Maria Sotskova.

    The South Korean won't stay there in top spot but she'll remember this moment for the rest of her life. No wonder she's got a broad grin.

    The Pyeongchang crowd collectively stretch their vocal cords as the next dancer enters the ice... it's another home favourite. Every successful jump, twist and turn by Choi Dabin is greeted by a cheer.

    She finishes her routine with a long spin, the crowd love it! But do the judges?

    Gabrielle Daleman had such a great performance with this piece in the team competition.

    She has to go away knowing she was a member of a gold medal-winning team.

    As a skater, we've all been there. We've all had those days where it feels like you've put the skates on the wrong feet. Some can recover quick - for others, it unravels.

    As soon as the final beat of the music is struck, Gabrielle Daleman sheds a tear or two. There were more falls in her routine than there are in the Grand National. Poor thing.

    She can barely bring herself to look at the scoreboard.. and here's why. The Canadian can only muster 103.56 which takes her into seventh. Cue more tears.

    Tennell into second, Sotskova still holding a healthy lead. Nine skaters left to go, starting with Canada's Gabrielle Daleman... and she's barely started before falling. Ominous.
