    Women's curling - Great Britain 6-1 Japan (after three ends)

    Eve Muirhead would not have even dreamt of this kind of start.

    The Japanese keep making basic errors and her team are taking full advantage.

    Another relatively straightforward shot gives them three and a 6-1 lead. Wow.

    Men's team pursuit speed skating

    Now it is the turn of the men and Norway and the USA are fancied to make it through to the gold medal final at the expense of the Netherlands and the Russian Olympic Committee.

    Reigning Olympic champions Norway clocked the fastest time in Sunday’s quarter-finals, with world record holders the USA just four hundredths of a second slower.

    Both the Russian Olympic Committee and the Netherlands need to find pace – they were 1.2 and 1.43 seconds slower respectively.

    The Dutch line-up includes 35-year-old Sven Kramer, the most decorated male speed skater in Olympic history. He has nine medals, including four gold, and the team pursuit is his best chance of increasing that tally.

    The USA’s star man Joey Mantia was rested for Sunday’s quarter-finals and they will hope his return gives them the edge today.

    Great Britain have been very good at their forced efficiency so far as we just saw.

    Last stone efficiency is important too because when you do have the hammer you want to throw your couple in - right now GB have got the hammer and they don't need to do anything too clever. They just need to play the simple game and force Japan to make the errors that they have been making.

  7. Japan and Canada throughpublished at 06:42 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2022

    Women's team pursuit

    All too easy for Japan. They breezed through their semi-final against the Russian Olympic Committee with a gap of nearly seven seconds.

    They could even afford to take their foot off the gas as they crossed the finish line. Plenty in the tank left for the final you would think.

    Canada began poorly but quickly got into their groove to reel in the Netherlands in their semi-final, finishing 0.96 seconds faster.

    So it is Japan v Canada for the gold medal at 08:28 GMT.

    The Netherlands and ROC go for bronze a few minutes earlier at 08:22.

    Eve Muirhead's last red stone stuck to a yellow and sat just close enough to the button to limit Japan to one with the hammer.

    The perfect start for GB.

    James Woods did warn us he was heavily dosed on painkillers and that his back was giving him trouble.

    It proved too much.

    Women's team pursuit speed skating

    Japan and Canada look favourites to progress in their women's team pursuit semi-finals against the Russian Olympic Committee and the Netherlands respectively.

    Japan, who are reigning Olympic champions and world record holders, broke the Olympic record in Saturday’s quarter-finals. Canada were within 0.36 seconds of Japan’s time but the Netherlands were 3.65 seconds adrift and the Russians 4.05 off.

    The Dutch line-up includes Ireen Wust, who is the most decorated speed skater in the history of the Games and the Netherlands’ most successful Olympian.

    Her final event is scheduled to be Thursday’s 1000m but this event probably represents a better chance of adding to her medal haul; she has six gold medals, five silver and one bronze.

    The perfect start for GB. A bit of fortune when Japanese skip Satsuki Fujisawa missed her attempt to makes things difficult, allowing Eve Muirhead to tap out for three.

    That'll settle any nerves.

    Team pursuit

    We have seen some mesmerising flicks and tricks up in the hills this morning, but now we are heading to the ice rink to focus on one thing - speed.

    Two golds are on offer at National Speed Skating Oval this morning in the men's and women's speed skating team pursuit.

    What are the rules you ask?

    Well, two teams of three skaters begin from opposite sides of a 400m oval track, with a team’s finishing time determined by when their last skater crosses the finish line.

    Got it? Excellent.

    Su Yiming is the first Chinese male snowboarder to win a gold medal at an Olympic Winter Games.

    China has a population of around 1.4 billion people. So he may have one or two fans to tap into.

  19. Valieva 'emotionally tired'published at 06:11 Greenwich Mean Time 15 February 2022

    Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva is "happy" but "emotionally tired" as she prepares to launch a bid for Olympic gold the day after a court cleared her to compete amid a doping controversy.

    The 15-year-old discovered a week ago that she had failed a drugs test but then successfully appealed against a Russian Anti-Doping Agency decision to impose a provisional suspension.

    That decision was upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Monday after appeals by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and others.

    The pre-Games favourite for gold, who had already wowed judges to help the Russian Olympic Committee to victory in the team event, continued training - in front of the cameras - amid uncertainty over whether she would be able to carry on competing.

    "These [past] days have been very difficult for me," Valieva, who sometimes looked tearful at the training rink, told Russia's Channel One television.

    "It's as if I don't have any emotions left. I am happy but at the same time I am emotionally tired."

    Women's curling - Great Britain v Japan (06:05)

    I managed to get a photo with two of the Chinese bagpipe players who ring out Scotland the Brave before every session. Olympics made.

    Apparently one of them started learning seven years ago when the Beijing bid to host these games was chosen.

    They've been practising together for six straight months to nail that one brief interlude. It's been flawless so far so fair play.
