    On Katie Ormerod, the Briton did confirm she will return later in the Games for the Big Air, with qualification for that final taking place on 14 February.

    Great to see her finally make her Olympic debut today. What a moment for her - and what a journey it has been to get there.

    This is a big day for British pair Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat.

    Beat the Czech Republic this afternoon and then current leaders Italy tonight, and they'll be very close to a semi-final spot with three games left of the group phase.

    The customary rendition of 'Scotland the Brave' on the bagpipes has just been played out after some Chinese disco tunes (yes, it happens before every session) so here we go...

  6. Day one so far: Ormerod misses out on finalpublished at 06:00 Greenwich Mean Time 5 February 2022

    Just waking up? Here's what has happened overnight.

    British snowboarder Katie Ormerod missed out on a place in the women's slopestyle final as she made her long-awaited Olympic debut.

    After injury ruled her out on the eve of the Pyeongchang Games four years ago, the 24-year-old finished 19th in qualifying on the artificial snow in China.

    "It feels amazing to be able to call myself an Olympian," Yorkshire's Ormerod told BBC Sport.

    "I've been waiting years to finally say that. To drop in and compete at an Olympics. It feels really special."

    GB v Czech Republic

    Last time out, Great Britain's mixed doubles curlers Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat had to survive an Australia fightback to maintain their semi-final hopes in Beijing.

    The British pair were pegged back in the last end to force a decider, despite leading 6-1 and then 8-6, but Australia's Tahli Gill missed her draw to give Britain a nervy 9-8 win.

    Canada 7-1 Finland

    Laura Stacey has extended Canada's lead to 7-1 in the second period, but Finland have responded well despite another setback.

    They have a player advantage for two minutes following a tripping penalty, but they can't make it count. They will start period three a player up though because the power-play is not quite over.

    Shaun White, the world’s most famous snowboarder, will compete in his fifth and final Winter Olympics in Beijing.

    He arrives as defending champion, having won three golds in his previous four Games.

    The 35-year-old says these Games, where he will become the oldest male halfpipe rider in Olympic history, will be his last – “a bonus run”.

    Katie Ormerod will be having a crack at Big Air too, on 14 February, so her Games are certainly not over just yet.
