Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's Japan's Ryoyu Kobayashi...

Not content with his gold already secured from the normal hill event, the 25-year-old has just laid down the gauntlet in the first round of large hill.

He sailed through the night sky, covering a massive 142m and at the halfway stage sits on 147 points after the judges scoring is taken into account.

Norway's Marius Lindvik is second on 144.8. The second jumps come next with the scores combined.

A little bit of ice resurfacing now... a couple of men are on their hands and knees patting little pieces of ice into the surface with some sort of flat metal tool.

At this stage of the competition Finnish couple Juulia Turkkila and Matthias Versluis are leading the way and have definitely booked their place in the free dance.

We told you earlier about brothers Johannes Thingnes and Tarjei Boe winning biathlon gold and bronze respectively in the men's 10km sprint.

You can watch the best of the action above.

Johannes Thingnes Boe is a Newcastle United fan. Poor lad...

The rules for this rhythm dance are that the music has to have 86-96 beats per minute...

Anyone old enough to remember when your tape recorder was running out of batteries...that's how Oleksandra Nazarova and Maksym Nikitin's version of Hit the Road Jack sounded.

And if you're too young for that - it sounded slow!

What’s the difference between pairs and ice dance? A lot of people coming to this once every four years wonder this…

Ice dance has no jumps or overhead lifts! It’s all about steps, sequences, choreography and… twizzles. That’s not the fried turkey things that Jamie Oliver didn’t like a few years ago.

Twizzles are rotations on one foot while travelling across the ice.

Those of you who are Drag Race UK fans will love this...

We've only got Tia Kofi and Veronica Green meeting up with GB ice dancers Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson!

The pair brought their glitz and glamour to the ice. See how they fared...

My girlfriend has just walked in while I watch this ski jumping.

"You must be absolutely mad to do this," is her analysis.

Quite...

ROC's Roman Sergeevich Trofimov leads the way so far.

We're under way in one of the most eye-catching events of Winter Olympics - the ski jumping large hill.

This is the men's event.

There are two rounds but only the top 30 from the first jump will progress to the second.

The score is a combined total for distance and style.

Poland's Kamil Stoch is the defending champion while Japan's Ryoyu Kobayashi is the form man.

You can watch this event on the Red Button and iPlayer.

Midnight Blues. Sounds like a bourbon bar in Nashville.

Flying the fly for Great Britain in the ice dance are Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson.

They will be 17th out of 23 to skate. The top 20 from this rhythm dance will progress to Sunday’s free dance where the medals are decided.

Rhythm dance is quite specific - the music has to have Midnight Blues rhythm and be 2 mins 50 seconds (give or take 10 secs).

Some breaking news on the Kamila Valieva story...

The hearing by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) - who will decide whether to reimpose a suspension on the Russian skater - will take place at 12:30 GMT on Sunday.

A decision will be relayed to the parties involved on Monday. That is expected to be in the afternoon in Beijing, which is eight hours ahead of GMT.

Remember, the teenager is supposed to be competing in the women's individual on Tuesday.

Russia. A case of suspected doping. Announced at an Olympics where the country is already banned for doping. A child involved.

Could it sound any worse?

The revelation that 15-year-old figure skater Kamila Valieva failed a drugs test before Beijing 2022 has put the Games under a black cloud, swinging the spotlight away from sport and once again on a dark subject that simply will not go away.

There are now questions over timelines regarding the matter, a legal case under way, uncertainty over medals won - and that is without even considering the wider damage to the credibility of anti-doping measures and the welfare of a young athlete.

So, how have we got here and what happens next? Read more here.

The International Olympic Committee says it would welcome an anti-doping investigation into Kamila Valieva's "entourage" after the 15-year-old Russian's positive drugs test.

The case of a child testing positive for angina drug trimetazidine has prompted questions from many over the role played by the adults around her.

"Entourage has been overlooked in the past," IOC spokesman Mark Adams told a news conference on Saturday.

"Entourage ranges from doctors and coaches, parents everyone."

Russia's Kamila Valieva has been out on the ice today for a training session, alongside her coach Eteri Tutberidze.

Valieva is due to compete again on 15 February in the women's individual event.

Valieva once again practised at the training hall in Beijing on Saturday, spending around 45 minutes on the ice.

At one point she paused and appeared to be in tears as she shared a lingering embrace with her coach Tutberidze.

Of course, the biggest story of the Games has been around the case of teenage Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva.

The 15-year-old's failed drugs test has cast a dark cloud over Beijing 2022.

Now Valieva is waiting to find out whether she will be able to compete again at these Games.

Here's what we have to come later in the day.
