Day 15 Highlights Winter Olympics: Today at the Games

Previously, at the Winter

Olympics... Fantastic performance!

An enormous upset here at this

Olympic Games.

Germany have beaten

the defending champions, and they

going for gold!

When she was out in

front, there was no stopping her.

Swede -- Sweden take the last

biathlon gold.

Day 15...

Good evening.

Welcome to Today at

the Games - it's day 15.

This is the penultimate day

of competition and there are eight

gold medals to be decided.

Could Team GB set a new

record Winter haul?

Here's what's coming up

on tonight's programme,

from a man who has

just dropped in....

Can Billy bounce into the big

time in the Big Air?

A surprising big g in

the Super-G on skis last week,

back on her board -

it's a tester for Ester.

Eve and her ice sisters struck

bronze four years ago,

can they repeat the feat?

Eight men in two

sleds go four times.

It's time for GB to do job

in the four man bob?

Oh...

Look, that's me, am

I on the programme tonight?

Brilliant...

A very special voice-over artist,

who has flown in specially from

Pyeongchang.

Woodsy is here!

Having competed... You call yourself

a free ski up, you spoke about this

earlier. A free spirit, amongst us,

how was it?

It was good, thank you.

Enjoyed it all?

Yes, thank you, good

to see you.

James Woods will be an

expert on all things that relate to

performance.

Also fresh off the plane from Korea,

we welcome back downhill ski racer

and four time Olympian Chemmy Alcott

and, as our resident snowboard

expert, two time

Olympian Ben Kilner.

Were you on the same flight back

from South Korea?

I didn't hear you,

did you hear me?

First up, brand-new to the Olympics,

it is big air. Representing Team GB

with Billy Morgan. He is quite a

cool dude. Did you get around

Pyeongchang like this?

I think these

scooters are in the coastal village.

As a kid he was a gymnast and

started skiing on the dry slope in

Southampton

money was 14.

He was the oldest competitor

in the field as the Big Air

took centre stage.

Jenny Jones was there.

The men's big air final is the last

freestyle event here in South Korea

and it has been a mixed couple of

weeks for the GB crew.

Oh my

goodness!

O!

Daisy Atkin takes a

bronze. Billy Morgan making the

final of the men's big air race.

It's not impossible that he could

take a medal today.

Billy Morgan took a big hit in

training to stop so the fact he is

up here is great news. Billy made it

through with big backside 1440

treble Cork but it was immaculate

and huge that is what Billy wants to

land stop yellow a lot of speed into

this first one.

It is massive.

Couldn't hold it. It was huge. Billy

going right to wait out to the nose

there, the judges loved that, but

the trailing hand grabbing under the

leg.

Billy Morgan now has it all to

do. Sebastien Toutant has been in

the game for more than a decade. He

has been a feature of podiums but as

of late he has been eclipsed and the

Canadian team.

Switch, frontside,

1620. The first rider to send it

deep into the landing.

That is very,

very nice. Sebastien Toutant has put

himself very much in the running for

this title. An acid trip to punch

out first run. Kyle Mack, a rider

always renowned for his different

grabs. Made it into the finals with

an outside treble Cork 1440 but put

a Japan grab on it which almost all

the rotation. There it was.

Oh my

goodness! Wow, that's one we've seen

from him! To put the Japan grab in

the middle of that trick kills all

the rotation. Then as he brings the

Japan back it re-initiates the

trick.

And he held onto the grab.

Yes.

The instead, every part of him

must be shouting let go, let go,

save yourselves!

Spicing things up

with a backside 1620, putting him

doubled leaderboard going into the

second run. Canada's Matt Sparrow

was just on his tail. -- Max Parrot.

Billy under pressure now. A tear in

his ACL kept him of his board for a

month before these games.

Come on,

Billy! Massive again.

And he held it

up, yes! It was huge. A bloody nose

grab on it, the hardest grab. Yes,

Billy!

Oh my goodness.

Billy!

Oh my goodness.

He did stand

that butterfly winding of the arms.

COMMENTATOR: 82.50.

That is a score

on the board, Billy Morgan has a

serious shot now.

Next in a

Sebastien Toutant. The Canadian is

sat on very powerful score. We saw a

backside 1620 in qualifying. If he

can add that it puts him in an

amazing position but he could go

safe here.

I don't think he is going

to play say. He wants this win.

Switch backside 1620. A bobble on

the way out there. Huge, huge second

hit for the man from Quebec. 216

20s. This is very, very precious. It

puts him in a very strong position.

-- two 1620s.

Kyle Mack, powerhouse.

He is so massively, he even thinks

in salt water.

Does he?

If you have

a set of wire gates you need

smashing down, get this boy on it!

Kyle Mack, already be backside 1440.

Oooh, no! Vatuvei bloody Dracula,

and I'm not swearing, that is the

name of the grab. Both hands and the

tail. I've never seen it in a 14.

I'd seen him do it in a tent had --

1080.

Both hands back on the tail.

Chris Corning managed to improve on

his first outing, but would it be

enough to keep him in the running

for a spot on the podium? Third and

final jumps of men's big air. A big

crowd cheering Billy on here. He

needs to go absolutely

stratospheric.

That is not something

he struggles with, let's be honest!

Come on Billy Morgan, frontside

triple. Double grab. Billy Morgan,

yes!

Oh, yes!

Triple frontside 14,

that is massive, absolutely huge. Oh

my goodness!

Billy just did a

frontside triple 14 and went double

grab, landed it clean. OK, we need

this score to be over 71.

COMMENTATOR: 85.5 Paul Billy Morgan

moves into bronze medal position and

it is a long and nervous wait.

Amazing! Kyle Mack and Sebastien

Toutant failed to land their trick

so they have to do with IMF is two

runs. An historic backside Cork but

couldn't get it around to land it.

It was all left to play for.

I'm

starting to get really restless in

my seat now.

Me too. Torgeir

Bergrem, drops in switch. Oh, and

he's dropped it! He's such an

incredible snowboarder, but he

battles with consistency and the

biggest stages. So, one of the

biggest threats to Billy Morgan's

bronze medal position is out of the

way.

OK, Iraq is about to drop and this

could be the difference to Billy

Morgan between a bronze medal and a

fourth place.

-- ten and are to

fourth place.

-- ten and are to draw

the whole of the UK needs to watch

this jump now. Of course they will

watch it through their eyes! The

whole of the UK needs to watch it

through their fingers, I am beside

myself. I can't watch it. I'm torn

between my friend in bronze medal

position and one of the best

snowboarders in the world about to

try and do business here. Let's make

no mistake about it, he is here for

gold.

Not here for anything else.

Coming in normal, cab. Oh no, he's

gone!

What?! How has he choked on a

jump he has dominated through

qualifying and practice?

Billy Morgan is a bronze medal

Olympian! CHEERING

So, the medals are settled.

We said it was a long shot but Billy

Morgan will go home with a bronze

medal.

medal. Well done, you! Oh my God

Billy Morgan, you legend!

medal. Well done, you! Oh my God

Billy Morgan, you legend!

What a

wild ride that was.

What are you

thinking right this second?

I don't

really know, it's wild. I had such a

bad training and fell on the first

backflip, I thought it was game

over. I went into the rest of the

runs thinking I hope I don't fall

over three times and everyone will

be devastated at home. All my mates

are in a bar at home watching. I was

thinking I will fall over three

times... I never expected it. If you

come into the contest thinking I'm

shooting for a medal, you are ready

for it, but I just didn't.

Two weeks

ago would you have thought that,

with your knee injury?

No. I said in

the interviews I be stoked if I make

the finals. Happy days.

Jenny Jones,

who showed the way along with the

Billy Morgan. An Olympic bronze

medallist, how do you sum that up?

Well done, Billy! Don't know what to

say!

It's the way he did it and the

shock. How big a surprise visit that

Max Parrot didn't manage to land two

good jumps?

Yes, you heard them say,

Max Parrot has these tricks on the

block. He's very robotic and never

makes any errors. The pressure

obviously got Tim.

He face planted,

which makes it even more impressive

that Billy, was first jump, I

thought they were very harsh, the

judges. He didn't fall over until

way after he landed.

The judges, if

you look like you are out of control

when you land, the judges will keep

their eye on you and keep on and

make sure, if you stay on your feet,

great but Billy Ben Funnell over.

This year, just washed out. -- Billy

then fell over. Sometimes with

adrenaline, it can do that to you.

You attack the jump far too fast.

As

he said, he didn't want to fall over

three times because all his mates

were watching. It is easy to do that

in all of these, the poor side of

things, scheme or free styling, easy

to try too hard downfall on your

backside.

Absolutely. I mean you

come in under so much pressure. You

are exposed to so many different

elements, the wind, ice, anything

can change anyone not just

concentrating on just that trick you

are trying to do, like as amazing as

it is, but also gauging and making

split-second decisions as it comes

at you, live. You know? It's just

amazing.

A good second jump. From

Billy, but the Fed jump was the one

that gave him the score that moved

him up and do the medals. It's talk

us through this.

him up and do the medals. It's talk

us through this.

This trick here is

a very new trick to believe. He only

landed it once outside the

competition. This is the first time

he has ever landed it in competition

boss that you can tell how excited

he is. Absolutely stoked. He has

gone for a double grab here, which

is very unusual. Judges will reward

it highly. He landed it quite deep

down the landing, again.

Managing to

fight to stay on his feet.

Is that

his gymnastic skills that enable

him? You said he went so high on the

second jump, Bradley didn't need to

go as big as he went?

I think Billy,

he's like a cat, he always lands on

his feet. He is very, very good at

doing it and he knows his aerial

awareness. Gymnastics have massively

helped Billy. In his grip on he's

been very good like that.

helped Billy. In his grip on he's

been very good like that.

At 28, the

oldest guy in that competition. How

much respect is there for him, in

the general Olympic world and your

world?

It is amazing, so good to see

Billy doing well. We are biased but

that is huge for him. That was a

gnarly trip, I mean dangerous. He

comes out of that and it is

completely blind. You can have the

best awareness but inches closer to

the snow, it is completely lined

going in.

He did not get on snow

until he was 17, really late. This

is some of his training. There was a

good feature about him awhile back.

You can see how strong he is.

Do

guys he competes against have this

background?

Not really. It is quite

new from a gymnastics side, coming

into this. Katie Ormerod, as well.

Coming from a gymnastics background.

It is odd, people usually come to

skiing and snowboarding from that

background.

This opens up a new

spectrum of winter sports. A lot of

children in the UK do gymnastics.

They do not have the facilities to

go snowboarding but if they can see

those skills they can take them to

the snow domes.

This is what Billy's

friends and family will be

celebrating. The whole of Team GB.

It means the 2018 Winter Olympics is

the best performance by a British

team in the history of the Winter

Olympics. It beats the four medals

in Sochi.

Olympics. It beats the four medals

in Sochi. We will find out later in

the programme if it could rise to

six. We have the

the programme if it could rise to

six. We have the bronze medal match

in the curling coming up. Many

congratulations to those five.

Before that, this time last week

the most unlikely Winter Olympic

champion was so stunned

to win that she thought

the clock had broken.

The multitalented Ester Ledecka

The multitalented Ester Ledecka is

next, the first-ever athlete to

compete in skiing and snowboarding

at an Olympics Winter Games. Nicely

done. Can Ester Ledecka mix things

up? Absolutely throwing it down. She

has done it.

Surely that is the gold

medal. She cannot believe it. Ester

Ledecka is the Olympic super-G

Champion. What a fantastic story.

And genuinely not one

Champion. What a fantastic story.

And genuinely not one looked more

surprise after winning a gold medal

on skis after Ester Ledecka because

she arrived with a snowboarding

title her main aim. She is champion

at the women's parallel giant

slalom. The first athlete to compete

in skiing and snowboarding at the

same games. Could she be the first

woman to win a gold medal in

different sports at the same games?

Graham Bell has the low-down.

Alpine snowboarding came into the

Olympics in 98.

The first ever

Olympic snowboard gold medallist.

Now raced in dual formats,

head-to-head racing, and exciting

competition. Ester Ledecka has made

it more exciting by winning a gold

medal in the Alpine skiing super-G.

She will try to win a gold medal in

snowboarding, the first athlete to

do that in different sports that are

Winter Games. She will make history

if she achieves that. And we have

the home favourite. The crowds will

be out in force to cheer on the

Korean will stop Ester Ledecka

cannot be thinking about the final.

She has to keep the focus and

concentration and keep the speed.

This could be history in the making.

concentration and keep the speed.

This could be history in the making.

It looks to me like the German has

the lead.

the lead. The German sat down. She

recovered but still ahead. They are

back to back but cannot see each

other so well. It looks to me like

Ester Ledecka has believed. And the

German is down.

Ester Ledecka is

through to the Olympics final. Will

it be a gold medal or silver?

That

is the question. Whatever happens,

Ester Ledecka is a double Olympic

medallist. In the other semifinal

the Russian Alena Zavarzina was up

against Selina Joerg. But it did not

last long. Selina Joerg through to

her first final at a Winter Games. I

can hear Lee Sangho being chanted.

This is the men's parallel giant

slalom

slalom at all of Korea expects.

He

got a good pull-out.

Slightly

behind. Taking a conservative line

at the top of the course. 0.4 five.

That is a long way back. He will

have to go for it. Needs to carry

speed. To flat. And the Swiss is

looking good.

Coming over the last

now. Can Lee Sangho pull-out the

spectacular game?

He did well last

time. Not this time. Switzerland

take the gold medal. Lee Sangho will

have to to settle for silver.

have to to settle for silver. That

is wonderful, Nevin Galmaini takes

the gold medal for Switzerland. Was

that extra pressure going up against

the local hero?

I love it when the

crowd is going crazy. I knew from

Sochi when I was in finals against a

Russian, they were going crazy for

him. It was not a problem, I was

like yes, that is cool.

Here we go,

the final and it is a matchup

between Selina Joerg and Ester

Ledecka. They are off and under way.

Ledecka on the red course and she

has the early lead. She is doing it.

One slip and it will go away. 15

hundredths. A little bit of a slip.

They wobble on the under gate. Now

needs to pump out along the flat and

generate speed. Two tenths of a

second.

2.2 eight. Nice and smooth.

Ledecka is going to make history.

She has done it! Absolutely

incredible. It has never been done

before. Two sports in one Olympic

Games.

What an athlete. This is very

specific, the race because you have

just one chance, not like the World

Cup when you have more races and in

the end it comes together. So you

need luck. I believe I had this luck

today.

Ester Ledecka from the Czech

Republic makes history by becoming

the first person to win two gold

medals in different sports at the

Olympic Games.

Olympic Games. Gave up PGS. How

medals in different sports at the

Olympic Games. Gave up PGS. How

difficult is it for Hurtado?

It has

to be incredibly difficult. I

competed in two disciplines but that

was on a snowboard. But to do

incredibly well in both of those...

Coming into this race, she was stone

cold favourite.

She had a lot of

pressure on her shoulders. Ranked

number one coming in and had extra

media attention after the super-G

result and extra stuff going on in

her head.

She handled the pressure

perfectly. Ledecka sets history. I

do not think we will see anything

like this again.

do not think we will see anything

like this again.

STUDIO: She is the star of the games

and she says...

She has a habit after races

conducting interviews with her

goggles.

Because she forgets her

make up bag. I thought I would wear

these for the rest of the show. I am

a skier, you are a snowboard. Could

you do a super-G and could I win

Olympic gold medal on a snowboard?

Absolutely not. If you put me on a

hill with skis and there was one

tree on the hill, I would hit the

tree. You cannot direct yourself on

skis?

I am a terrible skier. People

think we both use body weight to

arc, that it is the same, but they

are totally different. We cannot

explain how different they are. I

could snowboard badly. What she has

achieved, and has dedicated so much

time and energy on this. Her coach

said you must focus on one

discipline. She does three weeks of

skiing followed by three weeks of

snowboarding, followed by three

weeks in skiing.

How mental is that?

Wishy won the super-G, she said you

are taking away my training time for

snowboarding. Looking at her in the

final, she is dominant

snowboarding. Looking at her in the

final, she is dominant and she

always looks beautifully in control.

It really is a wonderful thing to

watch. Is the red course quicker.

Everybody chose the red course and

takes the timings from qualifying.

She skied on the red course all day

and was comfortable on that. What I

have noticed, her flow, she lets the

snowboard go, which is what she did

on the skis.

She is smooth on the

edge control. From gate to gate. She

is not making errors. What I have

seen people do that day. Taking it

smoothly and that seems to be the

seen people do that day. Taking it

smoothly and that seems to be the

best way.

best way.

The speed skater did short

track and long track and won medals

at this games but not two gold

medals. And I have seen Rebecca

Romero transitioning from rowing to

cycling at different games.

Two

Norwegians achieved it but back in

the 1920s with the modern era it is

special when everybody specialises

because it is so competitive.

Does

it change the philosophy, seen her

do this will inspire people to go, I

can do other things?

It is testament

to how focused someone is. I see it

and think it is amazing. The

opportunity to have two goes is

amazing. I don't know whether that

is more pressure or less pressure.

Sometimes we see it with the pipe

guys who do slopestyle. I think you

saw at the last games, Torah Bright,

who tried to do slopestyle.

But it

diminished her achievements in each

because she focused on too much.

Credit to Ester Ledecka because it

is an amazing achievement, two gold

medals in different sports.

Of the four new events at this

years Winter Olympics,

three were on show today.

The snowboard big air,

the mass start speed skating,

more of that later, and the mixed

team event in the alpine skiing.

It's quite confusing, so Chemmy,

can talk you through this one.

The first-ever Alpine team event

makes its Olympic debut. Alpine is

usually a solo sport. Here, each

nation comes together, teams of

four, two men and two women, attempt

to beat each other head-to-head,

unless it is a draw and then the two

fastest combined times count. A

courageous victory for Team GB

against the Americans in the first

round.

Great Britain versus Norway.

For a place in the semifinal of the

inaugural Alpine team event.

A tough draw against a favourite. It

went to a tie-break but agonisingly,

the British quartet came up short.

Great Britain and Northern Ireland

are out. Time for the semifinals at

the

the Alpine team event.

A battle of some of the giants of

Alpine skiing. The Austrian team

dominated the Norwegians in the

first semifinal, posting faster

times in three of the four runs,

sending them to the big final. The

Swiss team made the last two with a

convincing victory over France. In

the bronze medal match, Norway beat

France to historically take their

38th medal of this Olympics, passing

the US record total of 37 set in

2010.

Now they do battle for the goal

metal.

metal. Halfway down the course --

gold medal. She stays on her feet,

she will give Austria a 1-0 lead.

These are both medallists in the

Olympic slalom, going head-to-head.

It is 1-1 in the final. Simultaneous

start.

It is 1-1 in the final. Simultaneous

start. Jetted out of the turn and

there is a half gate lead as they

come off the lift. Can't overhaul

Wendy's lead. Switzerland has a 2-1

advantage. The last race of the

Alpine ski racing programme, for the

gold medal in the inaugural event. A

better start from Austria.

Switzerland lead but I do live in

one. Is he in front? I think he is,

and France are struggling.

Switzerland in front. Schwarzer has

gone out and Daniel Thorpe can

cruise through. Switzerland are the

Olympic champions! They have

defeated their all-time rivals,

Austria, and they take the

first-ever gold medal in the Alpine

team event.

Bronze busts, Eve Muirhead's curlers

face Japan with an Olympic medal on

the line. And feel the rhythm,

watched the time, how fast can the

British teams go in-run one and two

of the four man Bob.

You legend! It has been a very good

24 hours.

So, Ben Kilner makes way for Olympic

silver medal winning skip

David Murdoch and that means it's

time to go curling.

Everyone is doing it everywhere, and

they have all been here before. If

they can repeat their bronze medal

match when of four years ago they

would become only the fourth British

multi-medallists at Winter Games, as

well as extending the team

hall to six.

Here is Paddy Geary. The bronze

Here is Paddy Geary. The bronze

medal match is a psychological test

as much as a sporting one. After

all, you are only here because

something went wrong.

Eve Muirhead's

quest for gold ends here in this

semifinal.

Absolutely gutted. We've

trained hard for the last three or

four years to be in that position

and unfortunately today we were

outplayed.

But the team could draw

confidence from experience, they won

bronze four years ago, and beat

Japan four days ago, they could do

this but actually doing it, that's

different.

Great Britain versus

Japan!

And Eve and her team ready to

go and they need to be at their

best.

It was soon clear how tight this

match be, in such cases the score

key is not to score, to keep the

last shot, the hammer for when

things open up. But Eve Muirhead's

stones weren't always following the

strategy stopped about that is one

for Great Britain but not quite the

start that Eve Muirhead wanted. End

five, the last before the break, in

the stony stalemate a tiny window

appeared for Eve, a chance for two.

She has a chance here, past the

first one, past the second one,

needs to Norwich that. That is

unlikely, that is very unlucky. --

needs to nudge that.

Get one but not

two. Great Britain 3-2 up, time for

calm words, Cuba coach. --

the faith shed on the stand-by

brothers and mothers stop to it is a

good game so far, fingers crossed.

The girls are positive and doing

well.

How other nerves watching your

sister? Hellish, I'm not coping very

well at all. I'm more nervous up

here in the stands and I am down

there on the ice.

What do they have

to do to is get the bronze?

Be

patient, work well, get all the

shots and they will get there in the

end.

It only got more tense, this was

nervy. Binary curving after the ones

and zeros, as Japan kept the hammer

in their pocket.

They both want to

have the medal around the neck and

both had to step it up a little.

3-2

going into end eight and everyone

knew it might be settled by

mistakes, however small.

We need to

hit and stick.

Stay, stay...

Japan finally took one, 3-3,

Britain's hammer and this match of

knotted tension was starting to

unravel.

Eve Muirhead, then, trying to catch

this pretty much on the nose, her

own red. Running back onto the

yellow.

No, no, no. Well, the only thing

that has done is given her a chance

of a blank den.

Cleared everything

out the house, they had to wait for

that to come.

We have seen in the earlier ends

where we thought we were heading for

a blank den, a straightforward

removal of the stone but she has

done well to get this in. A little

indecision is there on what to do

with this. Why not two things are

going to happen here. Either Eve

gets a blank or we'll end up

sticking this red in the house to

end up with 81.

Even if you give

away anyone here, you have the

hammer in the last end, having the

hammer is key at the moment. If it's

blank this end, it would be great.

Oh, Eve!

Japan had stolen and lead going into

that final end. The last shot would

be Eve's but every Japanese stones

reduced the margins they could work

within.

If we get inside and that

once lost, you shut up shop.

Don't forget, one and we are into an

extra end, two and Great Britain

win. Anything else, the bronze medal

goes to Japan. So Eve Muirhead,

then, penultimate stone, trying to

put the pressure on and get herself

the opportunity and the two. It has

to come round the second yellow and

tries it on top of that other one,

try and count. It's been a good

effort from Eve Muirhead but she has

tapped her own back.

A good shot.

Tucked in a little bit. The final

stone, trying to join in. She has

been superb all through this match,

Fujisawa. What has she delivered for

them here? Is it the chance that

this bronze medal? They have never

won medal. Eve Muirhead still with

eight home to go -- stone to go. It

is turning a lot, it might just

catch the yellow. It goes by the not

quite enough.

May have blocked the

way in.

The Stones spelt out the choice,

taking one were safer and would

force an extra end but Japan would

have the hammer. The other option

was to go for two and risk

everything. Eve put it all on red,

bronze or bust.

She has to hit this

yellow and the other red, hope it

jams, it has to sit right, and it's

not.

Oh, my goodness!

And that means

the bronze medal goes to Japan.

Their first-ever medal in curling.

Eve Muirhead had the chance to win

it, it didn't come off and Great

Britain will go home empty-handed.

Cannot believe that after all of

this, Eve Muirhead and the team have

nothing.

I'm absolutely devastated,

I'm gutted, gutted for myself, my

team. It's been a long journey

I'm gutted, gutted for myself, my

team. It's been a long journey these

last four years. Unfortunately we

are going to be going home with no

medals this time.

We had the chance

for the win and we were all in on

the one shot we were going to play

and unfortunately we were on the

wrong side this time.

I'd love to be

able to come back to another

Olympics but it will take a bit of

time to reflect and we will see what

the future holds. Hopefully you will

see my face again.

We certainly hope so. They were so

brave in the immediate aftermath.

You know what that feels like?

Yes.

Semifinal loss... I loss the bronze

medal in 2006, probably the hardest

part is to go and speak to the media

afterwards, because you feel

brutalised yourself. You have lost

the medal you have tried so hard

for, worked extremely hard for as

well and you have to deal with that,

deal with the aftermath.

It was a

very cool end. If M3 map like that

shot Genji would probably try and do

the same thing, win the match, when

the medal.

-- a very cruel thing.

Absolutely. You have an opportunity

to win the game, and here is Eve

through this shot. She will probably

done it many times in practice and

done it every time. She was right to

nominate their shot to go for. If it

curled a little more, it would spin

out and you would see the two other

reds and she would win the game.

You're talking maybe 1-3 millimetres

more coal on the draw and they would

have had a bronze medal.

Such a slow

build watching the match on fold and

it was incremental gains by each. It

seemed so tight and then suddenly it

was over.

The momentum slowly

building, we were chatting the same

way saying if she does this, if she

does this, if the Japanese comeback

with this... Suddenly they made a

mistake, we thought and Eve had the

opportunity but then it over.

Very

much a cagey affair, a tonne of

pressure. It was for a bronze medal

at the Olympic Games, something you

have trained hard for. It didn't go

their way, they didn't get in front,

Friar enough ahead to get

comfortable on the pressure built up

towards the end.

When we watched it

this morning, you said a few times,

Eve looks nervous. She didn't look

the sort of strong and confident

decisive Eve Muirhead we know.

You

know how much is on the line. It is

tough to go out there and play that

game, because they wanted the gold

medal. The loss from the Sweden game

in the semifinal may be carried over

a little bit. It is hard to know.

They are guilty mates, you know

them, you are out there with them,

you have to feel their pain?

Absolutely. I mean, I came forth as

well, but for me it was very much

like I want to put on a good show

and it all happened so quickly, I

just said in the curling its a very

legitimate time to use the term

winning bronze. They had it all come

down on their shoulders. I feel for

them but a banging show throughout

the week.

Absolutely, terrific

performance. They will be backing

four years' time. Sometimes that

feeling of unfinished business can

be a big motivator. In the final of

the men's curling, US were complete

outsiders coming into this

competition and up against the world

number one skip from Sweden to stop

it was a very tight affair. We will

join at 5-5 in the eighth end. As

you will see, the Americans have the

hammer.

Oscar Eriksson looking on. Rejected

from their programme after the last

Olympics, has a chance to win here

in the eighth, a great chance, and

they both go. It is going to be five

for the USA. They look at the

opposition, high fives all round. In

the stands they are going crazy.

Just watching Nicola Sedin, they are

wondering what to do. Surely this is

the United States's medal now. What

a turnaround in this match, what a

story this would be in the curling,

and look at that. STUDIO: Ivanka

Trump among the American fans

cheering on, Donald Trump was my

daughter. A real shocker. The five

point at which was decisive meant

they were 10-7 winners. The first

gold medal in curling. Mr teed their

biggest fan took to Twitter to

congratulate them. A very good

hashtag.

Yeah... Curling his cool,

fool!

Now to the four-man bob on Team GB

have two

Now to the four-man bob on Team GB

have two chances in this, one

piloted by Lamin Deen on the other

by Larry. Meesha McNeill and nation

of it achieved the best finish of

eighth, despite their funding the

British bobsleigh having been

dropped. -- Mica McNeill. All the

support gone towards a mental

sublets if that money was well

spent.

These are both medallists in the

Olympic slalom, going head-to-head.

Welcome to the Alpensia sliding

centre for the last time.

This time

it is the four-man bob. The biggest

and earliest event of the lot. Great

Britain has a proud history in the

four-man bob, not least from Sochi,

and we are hoping that will be

upgraded to a bronze medal. We have

two four-man bobs piloted by Brad

Hall and Lamin Deen. They are ranked

in the teams in the world but they

are expecting to start shopping.

Lamin Deen's first run was a

disappointment, putting him only 19.

The world ranked number 12 Brad Hall

fared little better. Getting to

16th. Justin Kripps had struck gold

in the two-man bob and put himself

in fifth place and the fringe of

another medal. Nico Walther's team

included one of the legendary

figures of world man bobsleigh. A

polished effort. The Korean team

took advantage of being first away

with a blistering 48.65 to take

second place. Germany's Francesco

Friedrich shared gold with Justin

Kripps in the two-man bob. A

fantastic 48.50 four.

Down to earth

with a bump for both of the British.

Back to the start for run two and we

are hopeful we can get into the

competition proper.

For Great

Britain, Lamin Deen.

He has not been

driving well.

Another mistake.

Starting 16th ahead of the American

team coming in. Lamin Deen will stay

in 19th at worst. Next to go for

Great Britain, Brad Hall.

These

little differences cost time. This

track is easy to lose speed but hard

to find it and he will drop back one

or two spots.

The run is not

particularly happy. Regular mistakes

early for Brad Hall. 49.68 is quite

a lot slower than run number one.

Not a great results. Joint gold

medallists in the two-man bob.

Justin Kripps and his partner.

They

know the track so well. This is a

good run.

Might be done to one tenth

and less than that. He lost quite a

lot. Eight hundredths. He holds a

slender lead. Three big ones.

Germany, Nico Walther.

An absolute

magician. He can find speed in the

track where nobody else can. B is

moving in the right direction and

pulling away from the others behind

him.

-- he is moving. Holding

Speedwell down towards the finish

and goes ahead of Justin Kripps by

two tenths of a second. Now the

pressure is on. The Korean team had

a brilliant run one, but they went

first.

You can hardly hear them

coming through the corners because

he knows the track well.

he knows the track well.

The gap

might close. Just a little bit. Won

Junyong has done brilliantly for

Korea and tomorrow on the medals

chase they are in the thick of

things.

Look at what it means to the

hometown team.

A big run from the

Koreans. Francesco Friedrich goes

for Germany.

The current leaders. We

know he is fast because he has

already won a gold medal. You can

hardly hear him so you no he has the

line is perfect.

A great chance of a

gold medal. Look what it meant to

the coaching team. Francesco

Friedrich with a big lead over Won

Junyong of South Korea. Nico Walther

sitting third. This is developing

into an underwhelming competition

for Great Britain.

Are you surprised

to be where you are?

Definitely. We

had a big surprise a couple of days

ago with equipment, a technicality,

a back runner. Rules are rules and

we had to change. We could not test

the sets we wanted to test but that

is how it is.

We have been driving

well but the kit has not got us down

the track fast enough. We were

scratching our heads, thinking what

is going wrong? We have to carry on.

Two more runs, we will push as fast

as we can.

The two British well back

in the field. John Jackson, how do

you feel today went?

Not very well

from a British perspective. They

have had podiums this year but on

form leading into this, yes, it is

where it is.

Anyway back into the

top ten even? No chance, maybe top

15 at best. Right, run three and

four tomorrow and we will be here to

see it

four tomorrow and we will be here to

see it through to the end.

STUDIO: A dejected John Jackson. He

looks angry. We have Nicola

Minichiello and skeleton gold

medallist from Vancouver Amy

Williams. How embarrassing is 17th

and 18th after two runs?

and 18th after two runs?

It is

terrible. Egg on the face. After

having £5 million of investment over

the last four years. The results

were there in the early part of the

season. You do not know why it

happened. At this point it is not

good enough.

How can you not have a

spare set of runners?

I am confused,

you would normally have several

pairs, whether it is hard, cold ice,

softer ice. And on top of that

another spare pair just in case.

Runners are checked all the time. At

major championships they will be

picky about one millimetre out so

why if you knew they were slightly

on the edge why not bring another

set? We have funding to do that and

their target was two top fives and

they have been on the podium at

different times last season. They

have proved they have the skills and

talent. What I find hard, days ago

they did not know who would be...

Each driver did not know the three

men behind them. You look at the

Germans, Canadians and Americans,

you do not swat teams around. They

were in sync with each other, every

split second. Four big guys jumping

into the bobsleigh. You have to be

in perfect sync. To me, there

started scruffy. Loading in they

were taking their time.

What do you

think needs to happen next because

there will be a big enquiry?

There

has to be. Questions have to be

asked, what has gone wrong? We saw

it with the Germans four years ago,

they went away with a disaster, no

medals. Underperformance, and they

launched an investigation. How do

they fix it? Newsletter, team,

staff, new athletes. And they put it

back together -- new sleds. Looks

likely they will get a gold medal

and in the skeleton.

I have faith in

the team. Brad Hall is the new top

guy coming up and he has promise and

has shone through. If we can get

these little things together and we

learned it at the games

unfortunately, now we have four

years ahead. I feel we can do it in

the bobsleigh.

The third and fourth

rounds to come tonight and in the

morning. Mrs Paddy now with the rest

of the medals. -- this is Paddy.

Canada should not be here. This

match is a strange world for gold

medallists at

match is a strange world for gold

medallists at the last two games but

after being shocked in the

semifinal, they beat Czech Republic

6-4 to secure third place. The mass

start cross country is the realm of

the iron men, skiing at its most

gruelling. Finland had been waiting

for its first gold medal. So plenty

of pride. His coach put it down to

what the Finns call fighting spirit.

And a new event at the Olympics,

mass start speed skating is known as

Nascar on ice. The women's race had

a high octane finish.

The sprint is

on. The Japanese is going to get it.

On the line. A second gold medal of

the games after her success with

Japan in the team pursuit. And if

the mass start look to pick up a

following, the men's race did the

job with the home favourite being

the gold

the gold medal favourite and he

lived up to the hype. The first

Olympic champion in the mass sprint

is a Korean. That gold medal take

taxes haul up to five Olympic

medals.

No golds for Norway or Germany

for second day running,

so they are still on 13.

Three medals today for South Korea -

takes them to 15, a record for them,

with a gold or silver to come

from the women's curling tonight.

There is Team GB in 18th spot.

Let's go Off Piste.

so smooth you can moonwalk at the

going to be big stars when they go

back to the USA. The Americans will

embrace it. The way they supported

They went curling

crazy and it is great for the sport.

I think America has a new passion.
