I'm sure there's a little sigh of relief. They win this one with an extra end. The USA off to a winning start.
USA edge to win
USA 6-5 ROC
John Shuster sends the final stone of the match down as the USA take on the Russia Olympic Committee team.
The house is open and the defending champions are not wasting this chance, it's enough to secure a 6-5 win.
Moment of the day?
Jacobellis wins gold
I'm not qualified to give a 'moment of the day' but I'm going to anyway.
Lindsey Jacobellis gets the nod. Some 16 years after she fluffed a gold medal by showboating at the end of a race she delivered the goods in the women's snowboard cross.
In one of the stories of the day we saw double Olympic champion Mikaela Shiffrin suffer a repeat of her giant slalom disaster when she crashed out for the second time in three days.
Elsewhere, as we've been reporting, Farrell Treacy got himself a place in the 1500m men's short-track final but ended placing ninth.
German gold...
Men's doubles
Tobias Wendl and Tobis Arlt sparked joy for Germany in the men's luge doubles earlier.
You can watch the speed, drama and celebrations below.
Legal issue delays team figure skating ceremony
Mystery still surrounds the team figure skating event after the International Olympic Committee said the medals have yet to be handed out because of a legal issue.
The Russian Olympic Committee claimed the win on Monday, ahead of the United States and Japan.
They had a mini ceremony at the venue, in which they were handed Olympic mascot Bing Dwen Dwen teddy bears.
However the official medal ceremony at a plaza in Beijing should have taken place on Tuesday evening.
An International Testing Agency spokesperson said: "The ITA is aware of the various reports circulating regarding the postponed medal ceremony for the figure skating team event.
"Any announcement connected to these events would always be publicly issued on the ITA's website and not commented on otherwise. No such announcement has been published to date."

Sweden overcome China
Men's round robin
We have a second winner in today's men's curling. Sweden have beaten the hosts China 6-4.
The United States' match against the Russian Olympic Committee, meanwhile, has gone to an extra end. That's level at 5-5.
'The ice was pretty chopped up by the end'
Men's 1500m
There were 10 competitors in the men's 1500m final, which meant things got pretty crowded for GB's Farrell Treacy: "Especially being in the back of it, you can barely see the front but I could see everyone fighting for it at the front, you just try and save your energy.
"The ice was pretty chopped up by the end but there's 10 big guys out there all putting a lot of pressure down so I kind of expected that."

'It's poetic that Jacobellis has won'
Lindsey Jacobellis wins snowboard cross gold
Ed Leigh
Snowboarding commentator on BBC TV
Lindsay Jacobellis has won absolutely everything there is to
win in the world of snowboard cross, and yet that moment [at the 2006 Turin
Winter Olympics, when she lost gold by showboating near the finish line has
haunted her for her entire career.
It is poetic that someone so talented has finally put that memory
to bed.

'The epitome of perseverance'
Jacobellis wins stunning gold
Katie Falkingham
BBC Sport in Zhangjiakou
If ever there was a lesson in never giving up, Lindsey Jacobellis is its epitome.
Showing perseverance at its finest, the American never relented in chasing her Winter Olympic dream, and her fifth Games finally delivered the gold medal she once threw away.
Cast your mind back to Turin in 2006. A young Jacobellis, on her first Olympic outing, was seconds clear of the rest of the field in what was the first snowboard cross final on this stage.
In a split-second decision she has no doubt long rued, she chose to showboat with the finish line in her sight. Her youthful confidence backfired, and she hit the deck as she watched Switzerland's Tanja Frieden steam past her for the golden moment she'd had within her grasp.
Now, 16 years on, and at the age of 36, that gold is finally hers - victory in the Beijing final ensured the ghost was exorcised at long last.
Canada are the first team to win in the men's curling. They were lying three in the eighth end to extend their lead to 10-5 when Denmark conceded.
We are into the 10th and final end in the other three matches. The United States have fought back to lead the Russian Olympic Committee 3-2. It's 4-4 between Norway and Switzerland, while Sweden lead China 5-4.
If matches are level at the end of 10 ends there will be an extra end, with the team that scores first winning the game.
'Treacy didn't have as much ice time as everybody else'
Men's 1500m
Sarah Lindsay
Three-time Olympic short track speed skater on BBC TV
Farrell Treacy had Covid last month so he was late coming into the games so he didn't have as much ice time as everybody else.
The last few days he's had more ice time and started to settle in and feel more of the ice under his blades and found his way a little bit.
This is huge for us, people don't get to watch short track, everybody that watches for the first time they love it, it is exciting, there's lots happening but it is only shown every four years really.
To have somebody represent Great Britain so well on such a big stage is very encouraging and hopefully we'll get more people to the ice rinks wanting to try and follow in his footsteps.
'I'm pretty chuffed with that'
Men's 1500m
Farrell Treacy denies he had a point to prove despite his mistake in the 1000m event, when he was eliminated in the heats after going for the finishing line too early: "That mistake in the 1000m was something I'd never imagined happening, still can't wrap my head around it to be honest, I'll just put it down to illness fog to the head.
"I regrouped, didn't let any of the comments affect me, I'm a big man so you can say what you like.
"I got a bit more ice time and then each round trying to find out a bit more about the ice.
"Prep hasn't been fantastic but to get to an Olympic final I'm pretty chuffed with that."
