    Here's Norma Peace, the snowboarding granny.

    We first met her in 2014 at an indoor slope on the outskirts of Manchester.

    At the time, Norma was relatively new to the sport and had "yet to try it in the big outdoors".

    Four years on, read her to story to find out what the 78-year-old is doing now.

    Ghanaian skeleton slider Akwasi Frimpong speaking to BBC Sport: "It's been a dream come true [to compete at the Olympics], my family's been here with me, and it's been an unbelievable experience for all of us.

    "I've been dreaming of competing in the Olympics since I was 17, so that's 15 years I've been waiting, and I've tried three different sports!

    "It's been a tough journey for me, I was born in Ghana and then grew up in the Netherlands. In 2012 I was very close to making the Olympics, but an injury ruled me out, for 2014 I was in the bobsleighing team, but we didn't make it, but now I'm finally here.

    "It's a really special moment to represent Ghaha at the Winter Olympics, too. Because there's only been one other Ghanaian athlete in our history, so it's a real privilege for me."

    Elise Christie update

    BBC Radio 5 live

    Elise Christie on the criticism she has received: "Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect that. For me, it’s like you don’t have a right to judge me based on one event you’ve seen me in.

    "My career – I’ve won so many gold medals since Sochi and I don't think you should be judging people based on one thing you’ve seen them do.

    "I get you're entitled to your opinion, and I agree, but this sport is so much bigger than what meets the eye.I want to help people who have dealt with abuse and bullying in the past."

    More from Elise Christie: "Short track is congested and unpredictable . The goal with the 1,000m was always to be out in front but I couldn't do that because of my ankle.

    "I’m going to get even stronger and work on some better racing lines, better blade set-ups, so I can get to the racing lines easier."

    It was back to media duty for Elise this morning

    Elise Christie on her 1000m race on Tuesday: "My initial response when I got off the ice the other day was I’ll be back for Beijing. I’ll do my best to get back out there.

    "Unfortunately my season is over now – I’m unlikely to compete at the Worlds which means I’ve got a title to defend next year. I can’t thank everyone enough for helping me get back out there for that 1000m.

    "Qualifying to a quarter final at an Olympic Games with ligament damage which you shouldn’t even be walking on was the most insane feeling. I was so proud and so proud of everyone who supported me to get there. It obviously just wasn’t meant to be."

    On what she can change: "With regards to specific racing, in the 1000m I couldn’t have done anything different. I watched it back – I don’t know what I’ve been given the yellow card for.

    "I almost think the referee believed that I wasn't safe to race. If he thinks I was causing harm to myself then that’s fair enough, he was just looking out for me.

    "There are things I can work on. My blades weren’t in the best place and I was struggling with them a lot. If I get so strong that people can’t touch me, then I’ll just be out of the way of everyone, so I’m going to get even stronger."

    Jonny Whiteoak: The women were off the scale in the Big Air. Incredible riding. Imagine what they could have done in the slope style if they had been allowed to do it in proper conditions?!

  12. BIG AIRpublished at 09:07 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2018

    BBC Two is reviewing the women's big air at the moment - and it was a belter.

    Austria's Anna Gasser produced the best score with the last jump to snatch Winter Olympic gold from Jamie Anderson.

    American Anderson, who won slopestyle gold, scored 90.00 on her first run and still led after run two.

    But Gasser, 26, then posted 96.00 to take gold, with 16-year-old New Zealander Zoi Sadowski-Synnott third.

    Elise Christie, speaking about her injured ankle: "I’ve got severe ligament damage and it’s massive. It's got 2cm bigger since I competed the other day. It’s not the worst thing in the world – I’ll get over it and come back stronger in the end.

    "I’ve had some painful things happen before but when the girl's foot came down on my ankle, that was the most pain I’d felt in my life.

    "I thought ‘I’m not going to be able to do this – I’m not going to be able to put any weight through this' but I thought about everyone back home who had tuned in just to see me race and I thought I have to do this.

    "I couldn’t’ start properly but I gave it my best shot."

  17. Elise updatepublished at 08:57 Greenwich Mean Time 22 February 2018

    Say what you like about Elise Christie, but when it comes to drama, the British speed skater is pure box office.

    Despite her final attempt to win a Winter Olympics medal ending in failure in the 1,000m, she still managed to tug at the nation's heartstrings so intensely.

    Her last race only lasted 90 seconds, but from the nervous excitement on the start line, through to the crushing disappointment of disqualification as she was carried off the ice by her coach, it was a tortuous finale to the triple world champion's Olympics.

    In other words, sport at its most compelling.

    Time to catch up with her...

    Should shootouts be used to settle such big matches? It's an argument we are used to in football and Blayre Turnbull of Canada thinks the same about ice hockey.

    She said: "Upset, disappointed. We did not come here for a silver medal and everyone can imagine what losing feels like. It is not a great feeling at all.

    "That is how it works but in my honest opinion a game like that should never be decided by a shootout."
