  1. 'Canada had everything it took'

    Ice hockey - women's gold medal game - Canada 3-2 USA

    Kent Simpson
    Commentator on BBC TV

    Canada were a class act - even here in this final game they had everything it took. They came out and set the tone and if you just look at this celebration it's such an emotional release. Four years of work has built to this showdown against the Americans.

    The Americans just have to stand and watch - a helpless and hopeless feeling.

  2. Ice hockey - women's gold medal match - Canada 3-2 USA

    Great scenes of celebration from the Canadian team, while at the other end the Americans are in tears. The highs and lows of sport.

    Canada get revenge after losing to the US four years ago.

  3. Shiffrin crashes out again

    Women's alpine combined - slalom

    Over in the women's alpine combined, the USA's Mikaela Shiffrin has failed to finish for the third time in these Games.

    In the alpine combined competition, Shiffrin posted 1.32.98 in the downhill, leaving her fifth, but has once again crashed out of the slalom.

    She won gold medals at the slalom in 2014 and then in the giant slalom four years later, but failed to finish either of those events this year.

    Ester Ledecka will not manage a second gold medal in Beijing as her 55.89 slalom run leaves her sitting in third, behind Switzerland's Wendy Holdener in first and Federica Brignone in second.

  4. Gold medal - Canada

    Ice hockey - women's gold medal game - Canada 3-2 USA

    For the fifth time in seven Games, Canada are the women's ice hockey gold medallists.

    They beat the United States, who had won gold four years ago, by a scoreline of 3-2.

    Amanda Kessel pulled a second goal back for USA with only 13 seconds left, but Canada held on for gold.

  5. Muirhead takes advantage

    Women's curling - ROC 0-2 Great Britain (after one end)

    BBC Scotland in Beijing

    Eve Muirhead couldn't have wished for a much easier start. A draw to the button for two as the ROC leave the centre unguarded with GB already having a shiny yellow stone in there.

  6. GB take two-stone lead

    Round-robin: Great Britain 2-0 ROC (after one end)

    What a start from Eve Muirhead. The GB skip swings in another peach of a stone. Great Britain had the hammer in the opening end and have capitalised with a score of two.

    They can't do anything about results elsewhere, but that is a good start in determining their own destiny.

  7. Muirhead hits back for GB

    Round-robin: Great Britain 0-0 ROC

    Eve Muirhead's first stone is a beauty. Weighted perfectly, deftly plotted and dutifully swept.

    The spotlight swings to ROC...

  8. The stones are in motion

    Round-robin: Great Britain 0-0 ROC

    The first end is under way in the National Aquatic Centre. Vicky Wright looks concerned as she sends down her final stone. It is well short of the circle and not really cutting down the angles either.

    ROC lie one with the two skips' stones to come for each team.

  9. Kenworthy into final

    That looked good from China's Mao Bingqiang, the only man who can stop Gus Kenworthy from reaching a last Olympic final, but it's not enough.

    Team GB's Kenworthy squeezes through to Saturday's final by the skin of his teeth!

  10. Canada closing in on gold

    Canada are five minutes away from gold. They still lead 3-1 in the final against the United States.

  11. The scenarios...

    Here are all the scenarios for who goes through in this round-robin. It's not quite as complicated as it looks, but still daunting.

    'DSC' stands for 'Draw Shot Challenge'. Before every game two players from each team have tried to get a stone as close to the button as they can.

    The distances are measured and averaged out over the whole round-robin, and then sides are ranked on who gets closest more often.

    If head-to-head records are tied, then this becomes the deciding factor.

    GB are sitting ok just now in those standings relative to who they'll be up against for a play-off spot.

  12. GB up against it to make semi-finals

    Round-robin: Great Britain v ROC (06:05 GMT)

    Eve MuirheadGetty

    Great Britain need to win this and then a big slice of luck with results elsewhere to get through to the semi-finals..

    Eve Muirhead's team have won four and lost four of their eight pool stage matches.

    That patchy record means their chances of making the last four and slim. And their poor showing in the tie-breaking draw stone challenge that is done through the week does them no favours either.

    That's the bad news.

    The good news is they are up against a Russian Olympic Committee team that have lost all but one of their matches so far.

  13. Men's freeski halfpipe qualifying

    BBC Sport in Zhangjiakou

    Finland's Jon Sallinen manages not to take out any cameramen on his second run, but he does take himself out.

    A day to forget for him.

    Gus Kenworthy is still sitting in the final qualification spot with five skiers to go, although only three of them could usurp him.

  14. Channel change

    It's on to BBC Two now for continued coverage.

  15. GB men win again

    Men's curling - Canada 2-5 Great Britain (match ended after eight ends)

    We've got some curling coming up soon with the British women against the Russian Olympic Committee team and to get you in the mood, have a watch to see how the British men beat Canada to finish top of the round robin phase and set up a semi-final with reigning holders USA.

  16. 'Head first on to the platform'

    Snowboarding commentator on BBC TV

    What a relief - the crowd are applauding him. But Ben Harrington went head first on to the platform.

    He is absolutely heartbroken.

  17. Big crash

    We've a slight delay at the halfpipe after a big crash for Ben Harrington of New Zealand.

    Medics rushed to his aid but he seems to be walking it off which is good to see.

  18. 'Going to be tense'

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

    Thomas Duncan
    BBC Scotland in Beijing

    It's a must win here for Eve Muirhead and her team. Lose to the Russian Olympic Committee (the bottom side), and they're out.

    Even if they win, they need a few results to go their way. Without going into excruciating detail, wins for Switzerland and Sweden will help their cause.

    A win for Denmark against Canada would be helpful too, but that one is far less likely to happen.

    Strap yourselves in, it's going to be tense.

  19. Ice hockey - women's gold medal match - Canada 3-1 USA (into third period)

    We're back with the final period in the women's ice hockey gold medal match.

    Canada were 3-0 up, USA have pulled one back, but who will go on to get the gold?

    It's on BBC One at the moment, but will move to BBC Two at 06:00 GMT.

  20. 'Kenworthy might just do it'

    Men's freeski halfpipe qualifying

    Ed Leigh
    Snowboarding commentator on BBC TV

    Gus Kenworthy could squeak this. Ben Harrington and Mao Bingqiang are the main threats he will have his eye on, but he might just do this.
