Here are some of the day-one highlights:

• Katie Ormerod missed out on the snowboard slopestyle final
• Norway's Therese Johaug won the first gold of the Beijing Games in 15km skiathlon, with hosts China getting their first gold in the short track mixed team relay
• It was disappointment for Team GB's short-track speed skaters on day one
• Team GB's curling mixed doubles pair won one and lost one to move within touching distance of the semi-finals
• Three-time Winter Olympic snowboarding champion Shaun White announced he will retire from the sport after the Games.
• Georgian Saba Kumaritashvili competed in the men's luge, 12 years after his cousin Nodar died in a training crash at the Vancouver Games

Don't forget to check out the rest of the BBC website for all the latest from Beijing, including video clips. Today at the Games will also bring you highlights on BBC Two at 19:00 GMT, while you can continue to watch this afternoon's BBC Two coverage in this page.

Then the live text will crank into action again this evening, with seven more gold medals up for grabs on day two.

Until then, farewell.

China can sleep for the night, day one is done.

The winter sport community can get a little rest. We will go again tomorrow on skis, skates, snowboards and other crazy pieces of equipment.

Right now we have the USA 5-0 up on Russian Olympic Committee and earlier Canada beat Finland 11-1.

So there's no doubt who the gold medal contenders are in the women's ice hockey.

That's the last of the action today on the ice my friends.

Some pure, elegant, classy action on the ice.

This ladies and gents is the last bit of action of day one of these Games.

It's a strange thing when an Olympics sleeps for a bit, only to rise again tomorrow and come back with more.

A day with some shooting, skiing, crazy jumping, somersaults, you name it.

Punches thrown at the ice hockey. That's not very in keeping with the Olympic spirit is it?

Abbey Murphy is sent to the sin bin for the US, as is Maria Pechnikova for the Russian Olympic Committee. We are in a four versus four match for two minutes.

I think the ROC could be playing five on one right now and they'd struggle to fight back.

Five minutes on the clock...

The Russian Olympic Committee are fully under the pump here and have conceded three in five minutes. Alex Carpenter adds the USA's fifth of the day, tapping home after Dani Cameranesi's shot is saved.

There was a dramatic finish in the biathlon mixed relay event as Norway beat 2018 champions France by just under a second to win gold at Beijing 2022.

Turn out the lights at the ice hockey.

The Russia Olympic Committee team are unable to clear and Dani Cameranesi crosses for Grace Zumwinkle to tap home.

The US are making light work of things and Jesse Compher makes it 4-0, swiping one home via a deflection.

Watch some of the best moments from day one in Beijing, from the most-stunning slopestyle skills to an ice hockey player colliding with the referee.

Who doesn't want to see that?

It has been a mixed day for Team GB on day one of the games, with triple disappointment in the short-track speed skating.

Farrell Treacy says he went for the line a lap early in his 1,000m heat before crashing on the back straight. His brother Niall crashed out in the previous heat and, in the women's 500m, Kathryn Thomson fell in the first lap.

Norway's Therese Johaug claimed the first gold medal of the 2022 Games and summed the moment up as "a dream come true".

The 33-year-old dominated the women's 15km skiathlon to win by over 30 seconds, earning her first individual gold at an Olympic Games having topped the podium in relay competition in the past.

"I've been training a lot for this for many, many years," said Johaug, who served an 18-month doping ban that ruled her out of the 2018 Games.

"At first I was really happy just to come here because we have the Covid in our team. And today when I'm reaching my goal, I'm so happy. I've trained thousands of hours for this and been away from home a lot over the years. So it's beautiful to reach this goal.

"It means a lot. I've never had an Olympic gold medal, it's my first one. I'm so happy."

Johaug said her failed doping test in 2016 was because of a lip cream she used. Norway's team doctor resigned over issues around her case.

Arianna Fontana - who was part of the Italy team that took silver in the mixed team relay - is the first short track skater to claim an Olympic medal at five different Olympic Winter Games.

This was Fontana's ninth Olympic medal and she goes ahead of Viktor Ahn (KOR/RUS, eight) and Apolo Anton Ohno (USA, eight) as the most decorated athlete in Olympic short track history.

The USA have forced 34 saves across the first two periods while the Russian Olympic Committee team have worked the opposite keeper just six times.

End of the second session, a period where the US pushed and prodded the goal. Their keeper had to make a couple of saves but a period where the US dominated again. Signs of life from the ROC but with a period to play it's a comfortable 2-0 lead.

Slovenia has won two medals in the same event for the first time in its Winter Games history with Ursa Bogataj winning gold and Nika Kriznar bronze in the women's ski jumping.

Walter Wallberg won Sweden's first moguls medal as he edged out Canada's Mikael Kingbury with a winning score of 83.23.

The 21-year-old is the seccond-youngest Swedish man to win individual gold at an Olympic Winter Games, and the youngest for 58 years.

Hilary Knight flicks home a second for the US. She's lurking in front of goal and a shot in her direction allows her to deftly touch it past the keeper.

The US - number one seeds remember - are very comfortable here deep in the second period. The Russian Olympic Committee have plenty of time and they've shown glimpses of what they'll need to get anywhere. Can they turn glimpses into a key goal though?

A 'very disappointed' Farrell Treacy has just explained what happened in his race - he didn't fade because he was tired, instead he thought it was the last lap.

"I swear I heard a bell and I went to the line a lap early, which is obviously excruciating in the position I was in," he told BBC Sport.

"Big mistake and I guess something you don't want to be doing at an Olympic Games."

Treacy looked well position to progress in the men's heats earlier but faded late on and was eliminated in fourth place.

What does it feel like when you have Olympic gold in your possession but then the final athlete of the day competes to bump you into silver.

Canadian moguls skier Mikael Kingsbury shows his class when explaining how Sweden's Walter Wallberg ripped gold from him in the final run of the men's moguls final.

"Wallberg, with the pressure on, put down the best run of the day and props on him," says Kingsbury.

"I'm very proud of him too, to become part of our little group of Olympic champions.

"This is my third Olympic Games and I've had three medals. It's awesome.

"Our sport is so much about performance on one single day and we have one event at every Games so it's not easy. We don't have another chance or another day to have another try. It's everything on one day and I'm proud that I've been able to do that for 12 years."
