0:00:09 > 0:00:14Previously, at the Winter Olympics... Fantastic performance!
0:00:14 > 0:00:20An enormous upset here at this Olympic Games.Germany have beaten
0:00:20 > 0:00:25the defending champions, and they going for gold!When she was out in
0:00:25 > 0:00:31front, there was no stopping her. Swede -- Sweden take the last
0:00:31 > 0:00:41biathlon gold.Day 15...
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Good evening.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Welcome to Today at the Games - it's day 15.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09This is the penultimate day of competition and there are eight
0:01:09 > 0:01:10gold medals to be decided.
0:01:10 > 0:01:16Could Team GB set a new record Winter haul?
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Here's what's coming up on tonight's programme,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20from a man who has just dropped in....
0:01:20 > 0:01:28Can Billy bounce into the big time in the Big Air?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35A surprising big g in the Super-G on skis last week,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38back on her board - it's a tester for Ester.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Eve and her ice sisters struck bronze four years ago,
0:01:40 > 0:01:45can they repeat the feat?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Eight men in two sleds go four times.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50It's time for GB to do job in the four man bob?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Oh...
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Look, that's me, am I on the programme tonight?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Brilliant...
0:01:57 > 0:02:03A very special voice-over artist, who has flown in specially from
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Pyeongchang.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11Woodsy is here!
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Having competed... You call yourself a free ski up, you spoke about this
0:02:15 > 0:02:21earlier. A free spirit, amongst us, how was it?It was good, thank you.
0:02:21 > 0:02:28Enjoyed it all?Yes, thank you, good to see you.James Woods will be an
0:02:28 > 0:02:35expert on all things that relate to performance.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Also fresh off the plane from Korea, we welcome back downhill ski racer
0:02:38 > 0:02:41and four time Olympian Chemmy Alcott and, as our resident snowboard
0:02:41 > 0:02:42expert, two time Olympian Ben Kilner.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Were you on the same flight back from South Korea?I didn't hear you,
0:02:45 > 0:02:50did you hear me?
0:02:51 > 0:02:56First up, brand-new to the Olympics, it is big air. Representing Team GB
0:02:56 > 0:02:59with Billy Morgan. He is quite a cool dude. Did you get around
0:02:59 > 0:03:07Pyeongchang like this?I think these scooters are in the coastal village.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10As a kid he was a gymnast and started skiing on the dry slope in
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Southampton
0:03:11 > 0:03:16money was 14.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29He was the oldest competitor in the field as the Big Air
0:03:29 > 0:03:30took centre stage.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31Jenny Jones was there.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34The men's big air final is the last freestyle event here in South Korea
0:03:34 > 0:03:42and it has been a mixed couple of weeks for the GB crew.Oh my
0:03:42 > 0:03:49goodness!O!Daisy Atkin takes a bronze. Billy Morgan making the
0:03:49 > 0:03:55final of the men's big air race. It's not impossible that he could
0:03:55 > 0:03:57take a medal today.
0:04:02 > 0:04:08Billy Morgan took a big hit in training to stop so the fact he is
0:04:08 > 0:04:16up here is great news. Billy made it through with big backside 1440
0:04:16 > 0:04:19treble Cork but it was immaculate and huge that is what Billy wants to
0:04:19 > 0:04:25land stop yellow a lot of speed into this first one.It is massive.
0:04:25 > 0:04:32Couldn't hold it. It was huge. Billy going right to wait out to the nose
0:04:32 > 0:04:36there, the judges loved that, but the trailing hand grabbing under the
0:04:36 > 0:04:43leg.Billy Morgan now has it all to do. Sebastien Toutant has been in
0:04:43 > 0:04:49the game for more than a decade. He has been a feature of podiums but as
0:04:49 > 0:04:57of late he has been eclipsed and the Canadian team.Switch, frontside,
0:04:57 > 0:05:071620. The first rider to send it deep into the landing.That is very,
0:05:07 > 0:05:13very nice. Sebastien Toutant has put himself very much in the running for
0:05:13 > 0:05:20this title. An acid trip to punch out first run. Kyle Mack, a rider
0:05:20 > 0:05:24always renowned for his different grabs. Made it into the finals with
0:05:24 > 0:05:30an outside treble Cork 1440 but put a Japan grab on it which almost all
0:05:30 > 0:05:35the rotation. There it was.Oh my goodness! Wow, that's one we've seen
0:05:35 > 0:05:40from him! To put the Japan grab in the middle of that trick kills all
0:05:40 > 0:05:45the rotation. Then as he brings the Japan back it re-initiates the
0:05:45 > 0:05:51trick.And he held onto the grab. Yes.The instead, every part of him
0:05:51 > 0:05:57must be shouting let go, let go, save yourselves!Spicing things up
0:05:57 > 0:06:00with a backside 1620, putting him doubled leaderboard going into the
0:06:00 > 0:06:13second run. Canada's Matt Sparrow was just on his tail. -- Max Parrot.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Billy under pressure now. A tear in his ACL kept him of his board for a
0:06:17 > 0:06:25month before these games.Come on, Billy! Massive again.And he held it
0:06:25 > 0:06:30up, yes! It was huge. A bloody nose grab on it, the hardest grab. Yes,
0:06:30 > 0:06:37Billy!Oh my goodness.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42Billy!Oh my goodness.He did stand that butterfly winding of the arms.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46COMMENTATOR: 82.50.That is a score on the board, Billy Morgan has a
0:06:46 > 0:06:53serious shot now.Next in a Sebastien Toutant. The Canadian is
0:06:53 > 0:07:02sat on very powerful score. We saw a backside 1620 in qualifying. If he
0:07:02 > 0:07:07can add that it puts him in an amazing position but he could go
0:07:07 > 0:07:12safe here.I don't think he is going to play say. He wants this win.
0:07:12 > 0:07:21Switch backside 1620. A bobble on the way out there. Huge, huge second
0:07:21 > 0:07:27hit for the man from Quebec. 216 20s. This is very, very precious. It
0:07:27 > 0:07:36puts him in a very strong position. -- two 1620s.Kyle Mack, powerhouse.
0:07:36 > 0:07:45He is so massively, he even thinks in salt water.Does he?If you have
0:07:45 > 0:07:50a set of wire gates you need smashing down, get this boy on it!
0:07:50 > 0:08:00Kyle Mack, already be backside 1440. Oooh, no! Vatuvei bloody Dracula,
0:08:00 > 0:08:05and I'm not swearing, that is the name of the grab. Both hands and the
0:08:05 > 0:08:12tail. I've never seen it in a 14. I'd seen him do it in a tent had --
0:08:12 > 0:08:231080.Both hands back on the tail. Chris Corning managed to improve on
0:08:23 > 0:08:26his first outing, but would it be enough to keep him in the running
0:08:26 > 0:08:33for a spot on the podium? Third and final jumps of men's big air. A big
0:08:33 > 0:08:39crowd cheering Billy on here. He needs to go absolutely
0:08:39 > 0:08:43stratospheric.That is not something he struggles with, let's be honest!
0:08:43 > 0:08:49Come on Billy Morgan, frontside triple. Double grab. Billy Morgan,
0:08:49 > 0:08:59yes!Oh, yes!Triple frontside 14, that is massive, absolutely huge. Oh
0:08:59 > 0:09:04my goodness!Billy just did a frontside triple 14 and went double
0:09:04 > 0:09:10grab, landed it clean. OK, we need this score to be over 71.
0:09:10 > 0:09:16COMMENTATOR: 85.5 Paul Billy Morgan moves into bronze medal position and
0:09:16 > 0:09:23it is a long and nervous wait. Amazing! Kyle Mack and Sebastien
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Toutant failed to land their trick so they have to do with IMF is two
0:09:27 > 0:09:33runs. An historic backside Cork but couldn't get it around to land it.
0:09:33 > 0:09:39It was all left to play for.I'm starting to get really restless in
0:09:39 > 0:09:50my seat now.Me too. Torgeir Bergrem, drops in switch. Oh, and
0:09:50 > 0:09:56he's dropped it! He's such an incredible snowboarder, but he
0:09:56 > 0:10:00battles with consistency and the biggest stages. So, one of the
0:10:00 > 0:10:06biggest threats to Billy Morgan's bronze medal position is out of the
0:10:06 > 0:10:11way. OK, Iraq is about to drop and this
0:10:11 > 0:10:16could be the difference to Billy Morgan between a bronze medal and a
0:10:16 > 0:10:22fourth place.-- ten and are to
0:10:23 > 0:10:25fourth place.-- ten and are to draw the whole of the UK needs to watch
0:10:25 > 0:10:30this jump now. Of course they will watch it through their eyes! The
0:10:30 > 0:10:35whole of the UK needs to watch it through their fingers, I am beside
0:10:35 > 0:10:39myself. I can't watch it. I'm torn between my friend in bronze medal
0:10:39 > 0:10:43position and one of the best snowboarders in the world about to
0:10:43 > 0:10:51try and do business here. Let's make no mistake about it, he is here for
0:10:51 > 0:10:59gold.Not here for anything else. Coming in normal, cab. Oh no, he's
0:10:59 > 0:11:09gone!What?! How has he choked on a jump he has dominated through
0:11:09 > 0:11:14qualifying and practice? Billy Morgan is a bronze medal
0:11:14 > 0:11:20Olympian! CHEERING So, the medals are settled.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25We said it was a long shot but Billy Morgan will go home with a bronze
0:11:25 > 0:11:34medal.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38medal. Well done, you! Oh my God Billy Morgan, you legend!
0:11:38 > 0:11:40medal. Well done, you! Oh my God Billy Morgan, you legend!What a
0:11:40 > 0:11:45wild ride that was.What are you thinking right this second?I don't
0:11:45 > 0:11:50really know, it's wild. I had such a bad training and fell on the first
0:11:50 > 0:11:53backflip, I thought it was game over. I went into the rest of the
0:11:53 > 0:11:56runs thinking I hope I don't fall over three times and everyone will
0:11:56 > 0:12:00be devastated at home. All my mates are in a bar at home watching. I was
0:12:00 > 0:12:05thinking I will fall over three times... I never expected it. If you
0:12:05 > 0:12:08come into the contest thinking I'm shooting for a medal, you are ready
0:12:08 > 0:12:12for it, but I just didn't.Two weeks ago would you have thought that,
0:12:12 > 0:12:18with your knee injury?No. I said in the interviews I be stoked if I make
0:12:18 > 0:12:25the finals. Happy days.Jenny Jones, who showed the way along with the
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Billy Morgan. An Olympic bronze medallist, how do you sum that up?
0:12:29 > 0:12:36Well done, Billy! Don't know what to say!It's the way he did it and the
0:12:36 > 0:12:42shock. How big a surprise visit that Max Parrot didn't manage to land two
0:12:42 > 0:12:48good jumps?Yes, you heard them say, Max Parrot has these tricks on the
0:12:48 > 0:12:53block. He's very robotic and never makes any errors. The pressure
0:12:53 > 0:12:57obviously got Tim.He face planted, which makes it even more impressive
0:12:57 > 0:13:00that Billy, was first jump, I thought they were very harsh, the
0:13:00 > 0:13:06judges. He didn't fall over until way after he landed.The judges, if
0:13:06 > 0:13:09you look like you are out of control when you land, the judges will keep
0:13:09 > 0:13:13their eye on you and keep on and make sure, if you stay on your feet,
0:13:13 > 0:13:21great but Billy Ben Funnell over. This year, just washed out. -- Billy
0:13:21 > 0:13:25then fell over. Sometimes with adrenaline, it can do that to you.
0:13:25 > 0:13:31You attack the jump far too fast.As he said, he didn't want to fall over
0:13:31 > 0:13:34three times because all his mates were watching. It is easy to do that
0:13:34 > 0:13:40in all of these, the poor side of things, scheme or free styling, easy
0:13:40 > 0:13:45to try too hard downfall on your backside.Absolutely. I mean you
0:13:45 > 0:13:50come in under so much pressure. You are exposed to so many different
0:13:50 > 0:13:54elements, the wind, ice, anything can change anyone not just
0:13:54 > 0:13:58concentrating on just that trick you are trying to do, like as amazing as
0:13:58 > 0:14:02it is, but also gauging and making split-second decisions as it comes
0:14:02 > 0:14:10at you, live. You know? It's just amazing.A good second jump. From
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Billy, but the Fed jump was the one that gave him the score that moved
0:14:14 > 0:14:16him up and do the medals. It's talk us through this.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18him up and do the medals. It's talk us through this.This trick here is
0:14:18 > 0:14:22a very new trick to believe. He only landed it once outside the
0:14:22 > 0:14:26competition. This is the first time he has ever landed it in competition
0:14:26 > 0:14:30boss that you can tell how excited he is. Absolutely stoked. He has
0:14:30 > 0:14:36gone for a double grab here, which is very unusual. Judges will reward
0:14:36 > 0:14:41it highly. He landed it quite deep down the landing, again.Managing to
0:14:41 > 0:14:45fight to stay on his feet.Is that his gymnastic skills that enable
0:14:45 > 0:14:50him? You said he went so high on the second jump, Bradley didn't need to
0:14:50 > 0:14:55go as big as he went?I think Billy, he's like a cat, he always lands on
0:14:55 > 0:15:00his feet. He is very, very good at doing it and he knows his aerial
0:15:00 > 0:15:03awareness. Gymnastics have massively helped Billy. In his grip on he's
0:15:03 > 0:15:05been very good like that.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06helped Billy. In his grip on he's been very good like that.At 28, the
0:15:06 > 0:15:11oldest guy in that competition. How much respect is there for him, in
0:15:11 > 0:15:19the general Olympic world and your world?It is amazing, so good to see
0:15:19 > 0:15:28Billy doing well. We are biased but that is huge for him. That was a
0:15:28 > 0:15:33gnarly trip, I mean dangerous. He comes out of that and it is
0:15:33 > 0:15:37completely blind. You can have the best awareness but inches closer to
0:15:37 > 0:15:45the snow, it is completely lined going in.He did not get on snow
0:15:45 > 0:15:50until he was 17, really late. This is some of his training. There was a
0:15:50 > 0:15:59good feature about him awhile back. You can see how strong he is.Do
0:15:59 > 0:16:05guys he competes against have this background?Not really. It is quite
0:16:05 > 0:16:12new from a gymnastics side, coming into this. Katie Ormerod, as well.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17Coming from a gymnastics background. It is odd, people usually come to
0:16:17 > 0:16:22skiing and snowboarding from that background.This opens up a new
0:16:22 > 0:16:27spectrum of winter sports. A lot of children in the UK do gymnastics.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32They do not have the facilities to go snowboarding but if they can see
0:16:32 > 0:16:38those skills they can take them to the snow domes.This is what Billy's
0:16:38 > 0:16:42friends and family will be celebrating. The whole of Team GB.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47It means the 2018 Winter Olympics is the best performance by a British
0:16:47 > 0:16:53team in the history of the Winter Olympics. It beats the four medals
0:16:53 > 0:16:55in Sochi.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Olympics. It beats the four medals in Sochi. We will find out later in
0:16:57 > 0:17:01the programme if it could rise to six. We have the
0:17:01 > 0:17:01the programme if it could rise to six. We have the bronze medal match
0:17:01 > 0:17:08in the curling coming up. Many congratulations to those five.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Before that, this time last week the most unlikely Winter Olympic
0:17:10 > 0:17:13champion was so stunned to win that she thought
0:17:13 > 0:17:17the clock had broken.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21The multitalented Ester Ledecka
0:17:21 > 0:17:24The multitalented Ester Ledecka is next, the first-ever athlete to
0:17:24 > 0:17:28compete in skiing and snowboarding at an Olympics Winter Games. Nicely
0:17:28 > 0:17:37done. Can Ester Ledecka mix things up? Absolutely throwing it down. She
0:17:37 > 0:17:47has done it.Surely that is the gold medal. She cannot believe it. Ester
0:17:47 > 0:17:53Ledecka is the Olympic super-G Champion. What a fantastic story.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55And genuinely not one
0:17:55 > 0:17:56Champion. What a fantastic story. And genuinely not one looked more
0:17:56 > 0:17:59surprise after winning a gold medal on skis after Ester Ledecka because
0:17:59 > 0:18:05she arrived with a snowboarding title her main aim. She is champion
0:18:05 > 0:18:10at the women's parallel giant slalom. The first athlete to compete
0:18:10 > 0:18:14in skiing and snowboarding at the same games. Could she be the first
0:18:14 > 0:18:21woman to win a gold medal in different sports at the same games?
0:18:21 > 0:18:27Graham Bell has the low-down.
0:18:27 > 0:18:34Alpine snowboarding came into the Olympics in 98.The first ever
0:18:34 > 0:18:41Olympic snowboard gold medallist. Now raced in dual formats,
0:18:41 > 0:18:47head-to-head racing, and exciting competition. Ester Ledecka has made
0:18:47 > 0:18:52it more exciting by winning a gold medal in the Alpine skiing super-G.
0:18:52 > 0:18:57She will try to win a gold medal in snowboarding, the first athlete to
0:18:57 > 0:19:02do that in different sports that are Winter Games. She will make history
0:19:02 > 0:19:07if she achieves that. And we have the home favourite. The crowds will
0:19:07 > 0:19:15be out in force to cheer on the Korean will stop Ester Ledecka
0:19:15 > 0:19:21cannot be thinking about the final. She has to keep the focus and
0:19:21 > 0:19:25concentration and keep the speed. This could be history in the making.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28concentration and keep the speed. This could be history in the making.
0:19:28 > 0:19:36It looks to me like the German has the lead.
0:19:40 > 0:19:46the lead. The German sat down. She recovered but still ahead. They are
0:19:46 > 0:19:52back to back but cannot see each other so well. It looks to me like
0:19:52 > 0:19:58Ester Ledecka has believed. And the German is down.Ester Ledecka is
0:19:58 > 0:20:02through to the Olympics final. Will it be a gold medal or silver?That
0:20:02 > 0:20:11is the question. Whatever happens, Ester Ledecka is a double Olympic
0:20:11 > 0:20:26medallist. In the other semifinal the Russian Alena Zavarzina was up
0:20:26 > 0:20:34against Selina Joerg. But it did not last long. Selina Joerg through to
0:20:34 > 0:20:44her first final at a Winter Games. I can hear Lee Sangho being chanted.
0:20:44 > 0:20:52This is the men's parallel giant slalom
0:20:52 > 0:20:58slalom at all of Korea expects.He got a good pull-out.Slightly
0:20:58 > 0:21:04behind. Taking a conservative line at the top of the course. 0.4 five.
0:21:04 > 0:21:10That is a long way back. He will have to go for it. Needs to carry
0:21:10 > 0:21:20speed. To flat. And the Swiss is looking good.Coming over the last
0:21:20 > 0:21:27now. Can Lee Sangho pull-out the spectacular game?He did well last
0:21:27 > 0:21:36time. Not this time. Switzerland take the gold medal. Lee Sangho will
0:21:36 > 0:21:43have to to settle for silver.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45have to to settle for silver. That is wonderful, Nevin Galmaini takes
0:21:45 > 0:21:51the gold medal for Switzerland. Was that extra pressure going up against
0:21:51 > 0:21:57the local hero?I love it when the crowd is going crazy. I knew from
0:21:57 > 0:22:02Sochi when I was in finals against a Russian, they were going crazy for
0:22:02 > 0:22:10him. It was not a problem, I was like yes, that is cool.Here we go,
0:22:10 > 0:22:18the final and it is a matchup between Selina Joerg and Ester
0:22:18 > 0:22:28Ledecka. They are off and under way. Ledecka on the red course and she
0:22:28 > 0:22:36has the early lead. She is doing it. One slip and it will go away. 15
0:22:36 > 0:22:46hundredths. A little bit of a slip. They wobble on the under gate. Now
0:22:46 > 0:22:52needs to pump out along the flat and generate speed. Two tenths of a
0:22:52 > 0:23:02second.2.2 eight. Nice and smooth. Ledecka is going to make history.
0:23:02 > 0:23:10She has done it! Absolutely incredible. It has never been done
0:23:10 > 0:23:18before. Two sports in one Olympic Games.What an athlete. This is very
0:23:18 > 0:23:22specific, the race because you have just one chance, not like the World
0:23:22 > 0:23:29Cup when you have more races and in the end it comes together. So you
0:23:29 > 0:23:35need luck. I believe I had this luck today.Ester Ledecka from the Czech
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Republic makes history by becoming the first person to win two gold
0:23:39 > 0:23:46medals in different sports at the Olympic Games.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Olympic Games. Gave up PGS. How
0:23:48 > 0:23:49medals in different sports at the Olympic Games. Gave up PGS. How
0:23:49 > 0:23:56difficult is it for Hurtado?It has to be incredibly difficult. I
0:23:56 > 0:24:00competed in two disciplines but that was on a snowboard. But to do
0:24:00 > 0:24:08incredibly well in both of those... Coming into this race, she was stone
0:24:08 > 0:24:12cold favourite.She had a lot of pressure on her shoulders. Ranked
0:24:12 > 0:24:17number one coming in and had extra media attention after the super-G
0:24:17 > 0:24:21result and extra stuff going on in her head.She handled the pressure
0:24:21 > 0:24:27perfectly. Ledecka sets history. I do not think we will see anything
0:24:27 > 0:24:30like this again.
0:24:30 > 0:24:30do not think we will see anything like this again.
0:24:30 > 0:24:37STUDIO: She is the star of the games and she says...
0:24:47 > 0:24:53She has a habit after races conducting interviews with her
0:24:53 > 0:24:58goggles.Because she forgets her make up bag. I thought I would wear
0:24:58 > 0:25:06these for the rest of the show. I am a skier, you are a snowboard. Could
0:25:06 > 0:25:12you do a super-G and could I win Olympic gold medal on a snowboard?
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Absolutely not. If you put me on a hill with skis and there was one
0:25:16 > 0:25:20tree on the hill, I would hit the tree. You cannot direct yourself on
0:25:20 > 0:25:30skis?I am a terrible skier. People think we both use body weight to
0:25:30 > 0:25:35arc, that it is the same, but they are totally different. We cannot
0:25:35 > 0:25:42explain how different they are. I could snowboard badly. What she has
0:25:42 > 0:25:46achieved, and has dedicated so much time and energy on this. Her coach
0:25:46 > 0:25:50said you must focus on one discipline. She does three weeks of
0:25:50 > 0:25:54skiing followed by three weeks of snowboarding, followed by three
0:25:54 > 0:26:01weeks in skiing.How mental is that? Wishy won the super-G, she said you
0:26:01 > 0:26:07are taking away my training time for snowboarding. Looking at her in the
0:26:07 > 0:26:09final, she is dominant
0:26:09 > 0:26:10snowboarding. Looking at her in the final, she is dominant and she
0:26:10 > 0:26:15always looks beautifully in control. It really is a wonderful thing to
0:26:15 > 0:26:24watch. Is the red course quicker. Everybody chose the red course and
0:26:24 > 0:26:28takes the timings from qualifying. She skied on the red course all day
0:26:28 > 0:26:34and was comfortable on that. What I have noticed, her flow, she lets the
0:26:34 > 0:26:39snowboard go, which is what she did on the skis.She is smooth on the
0:26:39 > 0:26:46edge control. From gate to gate. She is not making errors. What I have
0:26:46 > 0:26:50seen people do that day. Taking it smoothly and that seems to be the
0:26:50 > 0:26:50seen people do that day. Taking it smoothly and that seems to be the
0:26:50 > 0:26:55best way.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00best way.The speed skater did short track and long track and won medals
0:27:00 > 0:27:05at this games but not two gold medals. And I have seen Rebecca
0:27:05 > 0:27:13Romero transitioning from rowing to cycling at different games.Two
0:27:13 > 0:27:19Norwegians achieved it but back in the 1920s with the modern era it is
0:27:19 > 0:27:23special when everybody specialises because it is so competitive.Does
0:27:23 > 0:27:27it change the philosophy, seen her do this will inspire people to go, I
0:27:27 > 0:27:35can do other things?It is testament to how focused someone is. I see it
0:27:35 > 0:27:39and think it is amazing. The opportunity to have two goes is
0:27:39 > 0:27:48amazing. I don't know whether that is more pressure or less pressure.
0:27:48 > 0:27:57Sometimes we see it with the pipe guys who do slopestyle. I think you
0:27:57 > 0:28:03saw at the last games, Torah Bright, who tried to do slopestyle.But it
0:28:03 > 0:28:07diminished her achievements in each because she focused on too much.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12Credit to Ester Ledecka because it is an amazing achievement, two gold
0:28:12 > 0:28:13medals in different sports.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Of the four new events at this years Winter Olympics,
0:28:16 > 0:28:17three were on show today.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19The snowboard big air, the mass start speed skating,
0:28:19 > 0:28:22more of that later, and the mixed team event in the alpine skiing.
0:28:22 > 0:28:30It's quite confusing, so Chemmy, can talk you through this one.
0:28:32 > 0:28:37The first-ever Alpine team event makes its Olympic debut. Alpine is
0:28:37 > 0:28:44usually a solo sport. Here, each nation comes together, teams of
0:28:44 > 0:28:48four, two men and two women, attempt to beat each other head-to-head,
0:28:48 > 0:28:56unless it is a draw and then the two fastest combined times count. A
0:28:56 > 0:29:00courageous victory for Team GB against the Americans in the first
0:29:00 > 0:29:06round.Great Britain versus Norway. For a place in the semifinal of the
0:29:06 > 0:29:11inaugural Alpine team event. A tough draw against a favourite. It
0:29:11 > 0:29:17went to a tie-break but agonisingly, the British quartet came up short.
0:29:17 > 0:29:23Great Britain and Northern Ireland are out. Time for the semifinals at
0:29:23 > 0:29:29the
0:29:29 > 0:29:31the Alpine team event. A battle of some of the giants of
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Alpine skiing. The Austrian team dominated the Norwegians in the
0:29:34 > 0:29:37first semifinal, posting faster times in three of the four runs,
0:29:37 > 0:29:44sending them to the big final. The Swiss team made the last two with a
0:29:44 > 0:29:48convincing victory over France. In the bronze medal match, Norway beat
0:29:48 > 0:29:53France to historically take their 38th medal of this Olympics, passing
0:29:53 > 0:29:58the US record total of 37 set in 2010.
0:29:58 > 0:30:07Now they do battle for the goal metal.
0:30:07 > 0:30:13metal. Halfway down the course -- gold medal. She stays on her feet,
0:30:13 > 0:30:16she will give Austria a 1-0 lead.
0:30:20 > 0:30:28These are both medallists in the Olympic slalom, going head-to-head.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34It is 1-1 in the final. Simultaneous start.
0:30:34 > 0:30:43It is 1-1 in the final. Simultaneous start. Jetted out of the turn and
0:30:43 > 0:30:53there is a half gate lead as they come off the lift. Can't overhaul
0:30:53 > 0:31:01Wendy's lead. Switzerland has a 2-1 advantage. The last race of the
0:31:01 > 0:31:08Alpine ski racing programme, for the gold medal in the inaugural event. A
0:31:08 > 0:31:13better start from Austria. Switzerland lead but I do live in
0:31:13 > 0:31:22one. Is he in front? I think he is, and France are struggling.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26Switzerland in front. Schwarzer has gone out and Daniel Thorpe can
0:31:26 > 0:31:33cruise through. Switzerland are the Olympic champions! They have
0:31:33 > 0:31:37defeated their all-time rivals, Austria, and they take the
0:31:37 > 0:31:48first-ever gold medal in the Alpine team event.
0:31:51 > 0:31:56Bronze busts, Eve Muirhead's curlers face Japan with an Olympic medal on
0:31:56 > 0:32:00the line. And feel the rhythm, watched the time, how fast can the
0:32:00 > 0:32:07British teams go in-run one and two of the four man Bob.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36You legend! It has been a very good 24 hours.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40So, Ben Kilner makes way for Olympic silver medal winning skip
0:32:40 > 0:32:43David Murdoch and that means it's time to go curling.
0:33:00 > 0:33:07Everyone is doing it everywhere, and they have all been here before. If
0:33:07 > 0:33:10they can repeat their bronze medal match when of four years ago they
0:33:10 > 0:33:16would become only the fourth British multi-medallists at Winter Games, as
0:33:16 > 0:33:19well as extending the team
0:33:19 > 0:33:21hall to six.
0:33:21 > 0:33:22Here is Paddy Geary. The bronze
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Here is Paddy Geary. The bronze medal match is a psychological test
0:33:25 > 0:33:28as much as a sporting one. After all, you are only here because
0:33:28 > 0:33:34something went wrong.Eve Muirhead's quest for gold ends here in this
0:33:34 > 0:33:38semifinal.Absolutely gutted. We've trained hard for the last three or
0:33:38 > 0:33:42four years to be in that position and unfortunately today we were
0:33:42 > 0:33:45outplayed.But the team could draw confidence from experience, they won
0:33:45 > 0:33:52bronze four years ago, and beat Japan four days ago, they could do
0:33:52 > 0:33:56this but actually doing it, that's different.Great Britain versus
0:33:56 > 0:34:04Japan!And Eve and her team ready to go and they need to be at their
0:34:04 > 0:34:07best. It was soon clear how tight this
0:34:07 > 0:34:12match be, in such cases the score key is not to score, to keep the
0:34:12 > 0:34:16last shot, the hammer for when things open up. But Eve Muirhead's
0:34:16 > 0:34:19stones weren't always following the strategy stopped about that is one
0:34:19 > 0:34:26for Great Britain but not quite the start that Eve Muirhead wanted. End
0:34:26 > 0:34:30five, the last before the break, in the stony stalemate a tiny window
0:34:30 > 0:34:36appeared for Eve, a chance for two. She has a chance here, past the
0:34:36 > 0:34:40first one, past the second one, needs to Norwich that. That is
0:34:40 > 0:34:46unlikely, that is very unlucky. -- needs to nudge that.Get one but not
0:34:46 > 0:34:57two. Great Britain 3-2 up, time for calm words, Cuba coach. --
0:34:57 > 0:35:03the faith shed on the stand-by brothers and mothers stop to it is a
0:35:03 > 0:35:06good game so far, fingers crossed. The girls are positive and doing
0:35:06 > 0:35:12well.How other nerves watching your sister? Hellish, I'm not coping very
0:35:12 > 0:35:15well at all. I'm more nervous up here in the stands and I am down
0:35:15 > 0:35:23there on the ice.What do they have to do to is get the bronze?Be
0:35:23 > 0:35:26patient, work well, get all the shots and they will get there in the
0:35:26 > 0:35:32end. It only got more tense, this was
0:35:32 > 0:35:36nervy. Binary curving after the ones and zeros, as Japan kept the hammer
0:35:36 > 0:35:42in their pocket.They both want to have the medal around the neck and
0:35:42 > 0:35:47both had to step it up a little.3-2 going into end eight and everyone
0:35:47 > 0:35:51knew it might be settled by mistakes, however small.We need to
0:35:51 > 0:35:57hit and stick.
0:35:57 > 0:36:04Stay, stay... Japan finally took one, 3-3,
0:36:04 > 0:36:08Britain's hammer and this match of knotted tension was starting to
0:36:08 > 0:36:13unravel. Eve Muirhead, then, trying to catch
0:36:13 > 0:36:17this pretty much on the nose, her own red. Running back onto the
0:36:17 > 0:36:20yellow.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28No, no, no. Well, the only thing that has done is given her a chance
0:36:28 > 0:36:33of a blank den.Cleared everything out the house, they had to wait for
0:36:33 > 0:36:35that to come.
0:36:39 > 0:36:46We have seen in the earlier ends where we thought we were heading for
0:36:46 > 0:36:49a blank den, a straightforward removal of the stone but she has
0:36:49 > 0:36:53done well to get this in. A little indecision is there on what to do
0:36:53 > 0:36:57with this. Why not two things are going to happen here. Either Eve
0:36:57 > 0:37:02gets a blank or we'll end up sticking this red in the house to
0:37:02 > 0:37:09end up with 81.Even if you give away anyone here, you have the
0:37:09 > 0:37:16hammer in the last end, having the hammer is key at the moment. If it's
0:37:16 > 0:37:20blank this end, it would be great. Oh, Eve!
0:37:20 > 0:37:25Japan had stolen and lead going into that final end. The last shot would
0:37:25 > 0:37:31be Eve's but every Japanese stones reduced the margins they could work
0:37:31 > 0:37:38within.If we get inside and that once lost, you shut up shop.
0:37:38 > 0:37:43Don't forget, one and we are into an extra end, two and Great Britain
0:37:43 > 0:37:50win. Anything else, the bronze medal goes to Japan. So Eve Muirhead,
0:37:50 > 0:37:53then, penultimate stone, trying to put the pressure on and get herself
0:37:53 > 0:37:58the opportunity and the two. It has to come round the second yellow and
0:37:58 > 0:38:03tries it on top of that other one, try and count. It's been a good
0:38:03 > 0:38:10effort from Eve Muirhead but she has tapped her own back.A good shot.
0:38:10 > 0:38:19Tucked in a little bit. The final stone, trying to join in. She has
0:38:19 > 0:38:24been superb all through this match, Fujisawa. What has she delivered for
0:38:24 > 0:38:28them here? Is it the chance that this bronze medal? They have never
0:38:28 > 0:38:32won medal. Eve Muirhead still with eight home to go -- stone to go. It
0:38:32 > 0:38:36is turning a lot, it might just catch the yellow. It goes by the not
0:38:36 > 0:38:41quite enough.May have blocked the way in.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44The Stones spelt out the choice, taking one were safer and would
0:38:44 > 0:38:48force an extra end but Japan would have the hammer. The other option
0:38:48 > 0:38:55was to go for two and risk everything. Eve put it all on red,
0:38:55 > 0:38:59bronze or bust.She has to hit this yellow and the other red, hope it
0:38:59 > 0:39:05jams, it has to sit right, and it's not.Oh, my goodness!And that means
0:39:05 > 0:39:10the bronze medal goes to Japan. Their first-ever medal in curling.
0:39:10 > 0:39:16Eve Muirhead had the chance to win it, it didn't come off and Great
0:39:16 > 0:39:22Britain will go home empty-handed. Cannot believe that after all of
0:39:22 > 0:39:28this, Eve Muirhead and the team have nothing.I'm absolutely devastated,
0:39:28 > 0:39:33I'm gutted, gutted for myself, my team. It's been a long journey
0:39:33 > 0:39:34I'm gutted, gutted for myself, my team. It's been a long journey these
0:39:34 > 0:39:37last four years. Unfortunately we are going to be going home with no
0:39:37 > 0:39:43medals this time.We had the chance for the win and we were all in on
0:39:43 > 0:39:47the one shot we were going to play and unfortunately we were on the
0:39:47 > 0:39:50wrong side this time.I'd love to be able to come back to another
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Olympics but it will take a bit of time to reflect and we will see what
0:39:53 > 0:40:00the future holds. Hopefully you will see my face again.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03We certainly hope so. They were so brave in the immediate aftermath.
0:40:03 > 0:40:11You know what that feels like?Yes. Semifinal loss... I loss the bronze
0:40:11 > 0:40:15medal in 2006, probably the hardest part is to go and speak to the media
0:40:15 > 0:40:18afterwards, because you feel brutalised yourself. You have lost
0:40:18 > 0:40:21the medal you have tried so hard for, worked extremely hard for as
0:40:21 > 0:40:26well and you have to deal with that, deal with the aftermath.It was a
0:40:26 > 0:40:32very cool end. If M3 map like that shot Genji would probably try and do
0:40:32 > 0:40:38the same thing, win the match, when the medal.-- a very cruel thing.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42Absolutely. You have an opportunity to win the game, and here is Eve
0:40:42 > 0:40:48through this shot. She will probably done it many times in practice and
0:40:48 > 0:40:52done it every time. She was right to nominate their shot to go for. If it
0:40:52 > 0:40:55curled a little more, it would spin out and you would see the two other
0:40:55 > 0:41:00reds and she would win the game. You're talking maybe 1-3 millimetres
0:41:00 > 0:41:05more coal on the draw and they would have had a bronze medal.Such a slow
0:41:05 > 0:41:09build watching the match on fold and it was incremental gains by each. It
0:41:09 > 0:41:14seemed so tight and then suddenly it was over.The momentum slowly
0:41:14 > 0:41:17building, we were chatting the same way saying if she does this, if she
0:41:17 > 0:41:21does this, if the Japanese comeback with this... Suddenly they made a
0:41:21 > 0:41:24mistake, we thought and Eve had the opportunity but then it over.Very
0:41:24 > 0:41:30much a cagey affair, a tonne of pressure. It was for a bronze medal
0:41:30 > 0:41:34at the Olympic Games, something you have trained hard for. It didn't go
0:41:34 > 0:41:38their way, they didn't get in front, Friar enough ahead to get
0:41:38 > 0:41:41comfortable on the pressure built up towards the end.When we watched it
0:41:41 > 0:41:45this morning, you said a few times, Eve looks nervous. She didn't look
0:41:45 > 0:41:51the sort of strong and confident decisive Eve Muirhead we know.You
0:41:51 > 0:41:56know how much is on the line. It is tough to go out there and play that
0:41:56 > 0:42:01game, because they wanted the gold medal. The loss from the Sweden game
0:42:01 > 0:42:06in the semifinal may be carried over a little bit. It is hard to know.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10They are guilty mates, you know them, you are out there with them,
0:42:10 > 0:42:14you have to feel their pain? Absolutely. I mean, I came forth as
0:42:14 > 0:42:18well, but for me it was very much like I want to put on a good show
0:42:18 > 0:42:24and it all happened so quickly, I just said in the curling its a very
0:42:24 > 0:42:29legitimate time to use the term winning bronze. They had it all come
0:42:29 > 0:42:33down on their shoulders. I feel for them but a banging show throughout
0:42:33 > 0:42:37the week.Absolutely, terrific performance. They will be backing
0:42:37 > 0:42:40four years' time. Sometimes that feeling of unfinished business can
0:42:40 > 0:42:44be a big motivator. In the final of the men's curling, US were complete
0:42:44 > 0:42:48outsiders coming into this competition and up against the world
0:42:48 > 0:42:53number one skip from Sweden to stop it was a very tight affair. We will
0:42:53 > 0:42:57join at 5-5 in the eighth end. As you will see, the Americans have the
0:42:57 > 0:42:59hammer.
0:43:04 > 0:43:11Oscar Eriksson looking on. Rejected from their programme after the last
0:43:11 > 0:43:16Olympics, has a chance to win here in the eighth, a great chance, and
0:43:16 > 0:43:22they both go. It is going to be five for the USA. They look at the
0:43:22 > 0:43:31opposition, high fives all round. In the stands they are going crazy.
0:43:31 > 0:43:41Just watching Nicola Sedin, they are wondering what to do. Surely this is
0:43:41 > 0:43:46the United States's medal now. What a turnaround in this match, what a

0:43:57 > 0:44:01daughter. A real shocker. The five point at which was decisive meant
0:44:01 > 0:44:07they were 10-7 winners. The first gold medal in curling. Mr teed their

0:44:45 > 0:44:50of it achieved the best finish of eighth, despite their funding the
0:44:50 > 0:44:55British bobsleigh having been dropped. -- Mica McNeill. All the
0:44:55 > 0:44:57support gone towards a mental sublets if that money was well
0:44:57 > 0:44:58spent.
0:45:01 > 0:45:06These are both medallists in the Olympic slalom, going head-to-head.
0:45:08 > 0:45:13Welcome to the Alpensia sliding centre for the last time.This time
0:45:13 > 0:45:19it is the four-man bob. The biggest and earliest event of the lot. Great
0:45:19 > 0:45:24Britain has a proud history in the four-man bob, not least from Sochi,
0:45:24 > 0:45:31and we are hoping that will be upgraded to a bronze medal. We have
0:45:31 > 0:45:35two four-man bobs piloted by Brad Hall and Lamin Deen. They are ranked
0:45:35 > 0:45:49in the teams in the world but they are expecting to start shopping.
0:45:49 > 0:45:55Lamin Deen's first run was a disappointment, putting him only 19.
0:45:55 > 0:46:02The world ranked number 12 Brad Hall fared little better. Getting to
0:46:02 > 0:46:0716th. Justin Kripps had struck gold in the two-man bob and put himself
0:46:07 > 0:46:18in fifth place and the fringe of another medal. Nico Walther's team
0:46:18 > 0:46:23included one of the legendary figures of world man bobsleigh. A
0:46:23 > 0:46:29polished effort. The Korean team took advantage of being first away
0:46:29 > 0:46:39with a blistering 48.65 to take second place. Germany's Francesco
0:46:39 > 0:46:44Friedrich shared gold with Justin Kripps in the two-man bob. A
0:46:44 > 0:46:53fantastic 48.50 four.Down to earth with a bump for both of the British.
0:46:53 > 0:46:57Back to the start for run two and we are hopeful we can get into the
0:46:57 > 0:47:05competition proper.For Great Britain, Lamin Deen.He has not been
0:47:05 > 0:47:11driving well.Another mistake. Starting 16th ahead of the American
0:47:11 > 0:47:22team coming in. Lamin Deen will stay in 19th at worst. Next to go for
0:47:22 > 0:47:27Great Britain, Brad Hall.These little differences cost time. This
0:47:27 > 0:47:33track is easy to lose speed but hard to find it and he will drop back one
0:47:33 > 0:47:38or two spots.The run is not particularly happy. Regular mistakes
0:47:38 > 0:47:49early for Brad Hall. 49.68 is quite a lot slower than run number one.
0:47:49 > 0:47:53Not a great results. Joint gold medallists in the two-man bob.
0:47:53 > 0:48:00Justin Kripps and his partner.They know the track so well. This is a
0:48:00 > 0:48:08good run.Might be done to one tenth and less than that. He lost quite a
0:48:08 > 0:48:17lot. Eight hundredths. He holds a slender lead. Three big ones.
0:48:17 > 0:48:24Germany, Nico Walther.An absolute magician. He can find speed in the
0:48:24 > 0:48:28track where nobody else can. B is moving in the right direction and
0:48:28 > 0:48:34pulling away from the others behind him.-- he is moving. Holding
0:48:34 > 0:48:39Speedwell down towards the finish and goes ahead of Justin Kripps by
0:48:39 > 0:48:46two tenths of a second. Now the pressure is on. The Korean team had
0:48:46 > 0:48:51a brilliant run one, but they went first.You can hardly hear them
0:48:51 > 0:49:02coming through the corners because he knows the track well.
0:49:02 > 0:49:07he knows the track well.The gap might close. Just a little bit. Won
0:49:07 > 0:49:11Junyong has done brilliantly for Korea and tomorrow on the medals
0:49:11 > 0:49:15chase they are in the thick of things.Look at what it means to the
0:49:15 > 0:49:23hometown team.A big run from the Koreans. Francesco Friedrich goes
0:49:23 > 0:49:27for Germany.The current leaders. We know he is fast because he has
0:49:27 > 0:49:33already won a gold medal. You can hardly hear him so you no he has the
0:49:33 > 0:49:39line is perfect.A great chance of a gold medal. Look what it meant to
0:49:39 > 0:49:44the coaching team. Francesco Friedrich with a big lead over Won
0:49:44 > 0:49:50Junyong of South Korea. Nico Walther sitting third. This is developing
0:49:50 > 0:49:55into an underwhelming competition for Great Britain.Are you surprised
0:49:55 > 0:50:01to be where you are?Definitely. We had a big surprise a couple of days
0:50:01 > 0:50:06ago with equipment, a technicality, a back runner. Rules are rules and
0:50:06 > 0:50:11we had to change. We could not test the sets we wanted to test but that
0:50:11 > 0:50:16is how it is.We have been driving well but the kit has not got us down
0:50:16 > 0:50:21the track fast enough. We were scratching our heads, thinking what
0:50:21 > 0:50:27is going wrong? We have to carry on. Two more runs, we will push as fast
0:50:27 > 0:50:35as we can.The two British well back in the field. John Jackson, how do
0:50:35 > 0:50:40you feel today went?Not very well from a British perspective. They
0:50:40 > 0:50:46have had podiums this year but on form leading into this, yes, it is
0:50:46 > 0:50:52where it is.Anyway back into the top ten even? No chance, maybe top
0:50:52 > 0:50:5815 at best. Right, run three and four tomorrow and we will be here to
0:50:58 > 0:50:59see it
0:50:59 > 0:51:02four tomorrow and we will be here to see it through to the end.
0:51:02 > 0:51:08STUDIO: A dejected John Jackson. He looks angry. We have Nicola
0:51:08 > 0:51:12Minichiello and skeleton gold medallist from Vancouver Amy
0:51:12 > 0:51:20Williams. How embarrassing is 17th and 18th after two runs?
0:51:21 > 0:51:27and 18th after two runs?It is terrible. Egg on the face. After
0:51:27 > 0:51:31having £5 million of investment over the last four years. The results
0:51:31 > 0:51:36were there in the early part of the season. You do not know why it
0:51:36 > 0:51:43happened. At this point it is not good enough.How can you not have a
0:51:43 > 0:51:47spare set of runners?I am confused, you would normally have several
0:51:47 > 0:51:53pairs, whether it is hard, cold ice, softer ice. And on top of that
0:51:53 > 0:51:58another spare pair just in case. Runners are checked all the time. At
0:51:58 > 0:52:02major championships they will be picky about one millimetre out so
0:52:02 > 0:52:07why if you knew they were slightly on the edge why not bring another
0:52:07 > 0:52:13set? We have funding to do that and their target was two top fives and
0:52:13 > 0:52:17they have been on the podium at different times last season. They
0:52:17 > 0:52:23have proved they have the skills and talent. What I find hard, days ago
0:52:23 > 0:52:27they did not know who would be... Each driver did not know the three
0:52:27 > 0:52:32men behind them. You look at the Germans, Canadians and Americans,
0:52:32 > 0:52:39you do not swat teams around. They were in sync with each other, every
0:52:39 > 0:52:44split second. Four big guys jumping into the bobsleigh. You have to be
0:52:44 > 0:52:48in perfect sync. To me, there started scruffy. Loading in they
0:52:48 > 0:52:55were taking their time.What do you think needs to happen next because
0:52:55 > 0:53:00there will be a big enquiry?There has to be. Questions have to be
0:53:00 > 0:53:05asked, what has gone wrong? We saw it with the Germans four years ago,
0:53:05 > 0:53:11they went away with a disaster, no medals. Underperformance, and they
0:53:11 > 0:53:18launched an investigation. How do they fix it? Newsletter, team,
0:53:18 > 0:53:28staff, new athletes. And they put it back together -- new sleds. Looks
0:53:28 > 0:53:35likely they will get a gold medal and in the skeleton.I have faith in
0:53:35 > 0:53:40the team. Brad Hall is the new top guy coming up and he has promise and
0:53:40 > 0:53:43has shone through. If we can get these little things together and we
0:53:43 > 0:53:48learned it at the games unfortunately, now we have four
0:53:48 > 0:53:54years ahead. I feel we can do it in the bobsleigh.The third and fourth
0:53:54 > 0:53:57rounds to come tonight and in the morning. Mrs Paddy now with the rest
0:53:57 > 0:54:07of the medals. -- this is Paddy. Canada should not be here. This
0:54:07 > 0:54:11match is a strange world for gold medallists at
0:54:11 > 0:54:12match is a strange world for gold medallists at the last two games but
0:54:12 > 0:54:18after being shocked in the semifinal, they beat Czech Republic
0:54:18 > 0:54:236-4 to secure third place. The mass start cross country is the realm of
0:54:23 > 0:54:27the iron men, skiing at its most gruelling. Finland had been waiting
0:54:27 > 0:54:37for its first gold medal. So plenty of pride. His coach put it down to
0:54:37 > 0:54:44what the Finns call fighting spirit. And a new event at the Olympics,
0:54:44 > 0:54:50mass start speed skating is known as Nascar on ice. The women's race had
0:54:50 > 0:54:55a high octane finish.The sprint is on. The Japanese is going to get it.
0:54:55 > 0:55:01On the line. A second gold medal of the games after her success with
0:55:01 > 0:55:05Japan in the team pursuit. And if the mass start look to pick up a
0:55:05 > 0:55:10following, the men's race did the job with the home favourite being
0:55:10 > 0:55:16the gold
0:55:17 > 0:55:19the gold medal favourite and he lived up to the hype. The first
0:55:19 > 0:55:23Olympic champion in the mass sprint is a Korean. That gold medal take
0:55:23 > 0:55:27taxes haul up to five Olympic medals.
0:55:27 > 0:55:29No golds for Norway or Germany for second day running,
0:55:29 > 0:55:32so they are still on 13.
0:55:32 > 0:55:37Three medals today for South Korea - takes them to 15, a record for them,
0:55:37 > 0:55:40with a gold or silver to come from the women's curling tonight.
0:55:40 > 0:55:42There is Team GB in 18th spot.
0:55:42 > 0:55:48Let's go Off Piste.
0:55:48 > 0:55:57First, a lovely photo of the new bronze medallist Billy Morgan. With
0:55:57 > 0:55:58Aimee
0:55:58 > 0:56:03bronze medallist Billy Morgan. With Aimee Fuller.
0:56:08 > 0:56:15And isn't that sweet?
0:56:15 > 0:56:17And teddy driving the kids round the bend.
0:56:17 > 0:56:18Despite no British success in the curling, kids
0:56:18 > 0:56:26are still enjoying giving it a go at home...
0:56:30 > 0:56:32The Bassetlaw swim squad are practising mass start skeleton.
0:56:32 > 0:56:33Here's one man bob...
0:56:33 > 0:56:36Three girl bob...
0:56:36 > 0:56:42And some bedtime bobsleigh -
0:56:42 > 0:56:52Settle down kids! Always wear your helmets at home.
0:56:52 > 0:56:59Now, red-hot, ice-cold. The Swedish athlete first. He goes
0:56:59 > 0:57:00Now, red-hot, ice-cold. The Swedish athlete first. He goes big. He goes
0:57:00 > 0:57:12very big and very long. But look at this for a getup. Very cool. Style.
0:57:12 > 0:57:16Next, if it is not tough enough racing down a mountain at the
0:57:16 > 0:57:23Olympics. Watch the slow motion. She almost slices that. I must stress
0:57:23 > 0:57:31she does not. No animals hurt. That was close.
0:57:31 > 0:57:34was close. Next, remember, do not hit anything, because it will hit
0:57:34 > 0:57:43you back. And finally, when you are so smooth you can moonwalk at the
0:57:43 > 0:57:50curling final. I think they are going
0:57:50 > 0:57:52curling final. I think they are going to be big stars when they go
0:57:52 > 0:57:57back to the USA. The Americans will embrace it. The way they supported
0:57:57 > 0:58:04it was quite loud.They went curling crazy and it is great for the sport.
0:58:04 > 0:58:11I think America has a new passion. Who was the star so far the games?
0:58:11 > 0:58:19Ester Ledecka. I admire her talents. I cannot Win a ski racing gold medal
0:58:19 > 0:58:30and she wins two in two sports.We are delighted you came to join us,
