Expect the times to get closer to 1:50 when some of the favourites take to the ice.
The world record in this event is 1:49:83 set by Japan’s Miho Takagi in 2019. She’s racing in the 15th and final pairing.

Sara Hector is the fourth Swedish women to win alpine skiing gold, following Pernilla Wiberg (1992, 1994), Anja Parson (2006) and Frida Hansdotter (2018).
At the previous nine Olympics (including Beijing 2022), only the United States have had more different Olympic gold medallists in women's alpine skiing (five).
Four women from Germany and four from Austria have won alpine skiing gold in this period.

'It's crazy'published at 08:48 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2022
Women's giant slalom
It appears that Sweden's Sara Hector was nearly too excited to give an interview after claiming gold in the women's giant slalom earlier:
"[It is] crazy, I'm so proud, I can't put it into words. I really tried to push it and give it all I got. It's just amazing. I don't know how to describe them [her emotions].
"It's been so much all day. I've been so nervous. It's so much feeling, it's crazy. It's for sure a lot of joy."

Ellia Smeding's time is looking better and better.
Of the six skaters to finish so far the Briton is third albeit this is a seeded comp so you'd expect to see times slashed later on when the big hitters get going.

Ellia Smeding gave it everything there - she’s clocked 2 mins 01.09.
It was slower than the other skater in the pair - Huang Yu Ting, who crossed in 2.00.78.
We’ll have to wait until all 15 pairs have raced before we know where she’s come.
What we can say is she’s an Olympian!

This is all about a race against the clock and not her opponent Yu Ting Huang.
Ellia Smeding just fading in the closing stages and finishes 0.31secs down on the Chinese Taipei skater.

Ellia Smeding was the last of Team GB’s 50 athletes to be named for Beijing 2022.
Her boyfriend – fellow speed skater Cornelius Kersten – had already booked his place, which was (we imagine) a bit awkward.
“Of course it was really hard for El but she took it like a champ,” Kersten told BBC Sport at the weekend.
“She was very supportive towards me. I always knew she was in in my heart so it was just waiting until she actually got the announcement.
“I think when she got the phone call I was more relieved than when I heard myself. It was like, the dream’s coming true, we’re going together, everything has been worth it.”

Just watching Russian 15-year-old Kamila Valieva doing her thing to Bolero, the composition of Frenchman Maurice Ravel.
That was of course made popular by British figure skaters Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean in 1984 and let's just say she is more than doing it justice.
Earlier on Monday she became the first woman to land quadruple jumps at the Olympics, helping the Russian Olympic Committee to its second gold medal of the Beijing Games.

Sara Hector was the favourite coming into this race because of her performances this season.
She's got such incredible power and strength but she's also got that feeling for this snow as well.
Technically she was absolutely brilliant, that power and aggression she has.

Yes, Ellia Smeding, that union flag is for you!
It’s been 42 years since we saw a British woman in the Olympic speed skating oval.
