We've got seven riders in here with similar abilty levels but very different runs.

This is a mouth-watering prospect.

Ayumu Hirano is a history-maker in men's halfpipe.

In December, he became the first man to land a triple cork in competition. That trick sees the rider spin 1440 degrees on the horizontal axis whilst corkscrewing the rotation, so the head goes under the board three times.

Will we see it at the Olympics? Chances are high.

Now it's the men's turn with the snowboard halfpipe qualification.

We've got 25 entrants and 12 of them will advance into the final. They all get two runs and their best score counts.

American Shaun White, at the age of 35, is aiming for his fourth gold in this event after winning in Torino in 2006, Vancouver in 2010 and Pyeongchang in 2018.

But first he has to qualify before Friday's final.

This is our focus on BBC One and prepare to be amazed and entertained with some of the best action you'll see throughout the Games.

Defending snowboard halfpipe champion Chloe Kim's 'ridiculously technical' first run sees her qualify in first place for the final at the Beijing Winter Olympics.

You've already won gold, then you might as well grab your country's flag, hold it throughout your jump and nail the landing.

Well played Birk Ruud, well played.

Look at the flag in his hands. Birk Ruud just made that look so easy.

Looked in a different class today. He has claimed the first ever freeskiing gold medal.

Drama, entertainment and an incredibly high level of skiing.

Henrik Harlaut - really nice, solid landing and on his third Olympics you would not begrudge him. He's done so much for the sport.

That means...

Henrik Harlaut bumps out fellow Swede Oliwer Magnusson from bronze, with Magnusson dropping to fourth.

There's a very interesting development from the team figure skating event - as the medal ceremony has yet to take place because of a legal issue.

The Russian Olympic Committee took the win on Monday, with the United States second and Japan third and the medal ceremony should have taken place on the medals plaza here in Beijing on Tuesday.

IOC spokesman Mark Adams has confirmed the legal issue but has not expanded on what it is.

"The situation arose and came at short notice," he said. "It’s an emerging issue so I can't add very much at the moment."

An update has been promised later on Wednesday.

Evan McEachran takes that hit on the chin!

I would be like a bag of Haribo left in the nursery, if that was me - there would be bits everywhere!

Canada's Evan McEachran then desperately tries to get himself into the medals, and just like Nummedal before him, ends up eating snow. But they make them tough in this event and he looks OK.

That was a massive hit for Christian Hummedal - and look at him, straight up! How did he walk away from that!

We're getting to the business end of the men's big air final and Christian Nummedal of Norway goes for broke - and is nearly broken.

It's a huge crash into the snow. It was all or nothing and he had a score of 93 in the second run and if he'd matched that he would've got a medal.

But not to be. But what a competitor, he springs straight to his feet with a rueful smile on his face and appears completely unhurt. Go big, or go home.

He's down in 10th but absolutely gave it his all.

We're coming to the end of the first runs in the women's slalom and Britain's Charlie Guest is sitting in a superb 15th position after a fine performance.

The second runs will be beginning at 05:45 GMT.

This is what Guest did in her first effort...

There is a giant lump of gold bragging rights going begging, and I think people will be throwing everything at it.

This is how it stands after two of three runs in the men's freeski big air final.

The judges can only give them a score of 100 per run, so 95.75 from Birk Ruud in the first run is an extraordinary effort. He's leading the way with one run to go.

But he will know the job isn't done just yet. In the women's event yesterday Eileen Gu was third after two runs and snatched gold away from France's Tess Ledeux with a stunning move that she'd never previously landed.
