Day 3 Highlights Winter Olympics: Today at the Games

Previously at the Winter Olympics...

The American 17-year-old Red Gerard

bon storms the final.

Gold in the

luge!

We are watching one of the

true greats here. Andrew Musgrave,

sensational effort from the Briton,

it really is.

Day three.

Absolutely, mate. That style, it is

beautiful.

You got to say that she looks

absolutely amazing on a snowboard.

That is why she is constantly

topping podiums around the world,

ladies and gentlemen.

Thrills and

spills guaranteed, but that was

another windy day at the Phoenix

Snow Park. The organisers deemed it

safe and for the women's snowboard

slopestyle to go ahead by just 19

miles away at the Alpine Centre, the

organisers of the women's giant

slalom felt it was too dangerous.

Hello, good evening and welcome to

Prog-macro, day three of the Winter

Olympics. I'm joined by Chemmy

Alcott and Ben Kilner has been to

two pics with his snowboard.

Which

way does the wind blow? Apparently

the wrong way. It is playing havoc

with the programme. The women's

giant slalom has been postponed

until Thursday.

Have you seen the

woman slopestyle raced in such

circumstances?

It is a day of

controversial decisions especially

when the Giant Slalom has been

cancelled. These guys are spending a

lot of time in the air, and the wind

is causing problems.

Some things

were on, some things were off, but

still plenty to enjoy. Here is what

is coming up. Brace yourselves and

batten down the hatches, as

slopestyle battles the owners.

Patrick Chan one everything else but

never a gold medal, would the team

skating give him that elusive Golden

glow? Ludik champion Karina Bode is

hoping to defend her title. Mikael

Kingsbury is hoping for another

medal. And we're joined by skating

Superstar Christopher Dean, one half

of the greatest deal on ice. What do

the injured Katie Ormerod who

fractured wrist and then her heel in

practice, British hopes in the

slopestyle fell to the vivacious

Aimee Fuller.

Come on Aimee Fuller

of Team GB. Really solid slide.

Drama! No, she is younger...

Since

Sochi I thought it has changed a

lot. Progression is an upward curve.

We had contests every single year

and it was just like, you get going

on this poor, and now you've got a

set goal and a target every four

years. It has provided a good

structure of support. We have got UK

sport, Nord. We have got coaches,

physios, amazing places like this to

ride and it has provided a huge

platform and opportunity to progress

as athletes, and to progress the

sport.

Your thoughts on Pyeongchang.

I want to go and demonstrate our

sport and show not only what I am

capable of, but what our sport has

evolved to and where we can take it.

When I arrive at the top of that

course, just go for it. That is what

I am visualising in my head between

now and then. I want to be on my

board, doing the tricks I want to

do, so that I can just rocked up.

And stop the best run of my life.

The time to do that was today. She's

up against the defending champion

Jimmy Anderson who won gold in the X

Games a fortnight ago. Jenny Jones

and Jamie Nicholls will take you

through this one after a little trip

down memory lane.

down memory lane.

Jenny Jones, lying

in fifth...

Myself, Tim and Ed

all-new Jenny so well. We were

genuinely excited. When you're in

another big final with a shout of

winning a medal all balanced out of

the window. The last trick was a

720, as perfect as it could be.

What

is it?

is it?

She was in the bottom

position, then she had that one.

An

emphatic score from the judges to

take Jenny Jones into the gold medal

position.

In Sochi, she was the

rising star. If you Lanza, it is

hers.

We all knew what it meant. I

can remember dragging my hands down

my face... It was like that! Kind of

like fighting back the tears, and he

is welling up.

Jenny Jones, bronze

medallist.

If she had come fourth or

fifth it would be all right but the

fact that she took away our medal

was just perfect.

I can't believe it

has been four Pearson is that Sochi

file but we are back there with

another Olympics and Jamie Anderson

the gold medallist is here again as

well as the silver medallist and

there are some young girls coming

the ranks. Of course, I will be

waiting for our Team GB athlete,

Aimee Fuller.

Aimee Fuller.

We are absolutely on

the limit of running this contest

here. They cannot run these riders

in these conditions. I think that

this is irresponsible.

this is irresponsible.

Ooh!

Ooh!

The

weather today are so unpredictable.

There are huge gusts of wind out of

nowhere, then it becomes really

calm. As an athlete, something like

this is so frustrating. I can see

what is happening to the girls. One

minute they are flying to the bottom

of the jump and the next minute they

cannot clear them, so how can you

know what speed to take into it?

Aimee Fuller is about to drop. She

has been getting to grips with this

course throughout training.

Come on,

Aimee Fuller. Speed is her friend,

here. The under flip, that is the

single version, there. It didn't

feel like she had the speed. You

could almost hear her saying that it

is so windy.

It is like flying into

a hurricane, but fingers crossed for

the next run.

the next run.

The 360, clears it,

despite losing her composure. The

720, she has got the ball control

and the internal speedometer and

maybe not the prettiest way, but she

has made it through really

comfortably.

You have what -- one of

the favourites cropping in with an

absolutely perfect rail line. Now it

is all about the kickers in that

wind, for her.

Pound for pound, the

best slopestyle ride and the role,

at the US open in March last year

she wrapped landed the best run

anyone has ever seen by a woman in

slopestyle. The under flip, that is

how you do it, that is with a

revert. Great trick, and she almost

held onto it, such a shame.

held onto it, such a shame. Julia

Mancuso, what are you doing here?

Just cheering on Team USA. Jimmy

Anderson is a good friend of mine

and we are from the same town. --

Jamie Anderson.

Just when you think

she is perhaps thinking about

hanging up her competitive snowboard

boots, she goes and learns new

tricks, and look at that, goodness

me, liquid snowboarding.

It is an

absolutely different league, through

the rails. Confidence and experience

shining through. What is it going to

look like? Massive. My goodness.

Legs, forged from steel.

She boxed

clever, she opened up. I thought

that was going to be a cab double

under.

CHEERING

Great run from Jamie Anderson.

Great run from Jamie Anderson.

How

are we feeling after that first one?

Great, wasn't it?

Were you expecting

that?

Know, anything is possible. At

the end of the first bronze, Jamie

Anderson put in a great run and she

is an gold medal position.

is an gold medal position. If Anna

Gasser can land that trick she could

take the gold, but the wind is

making a lottery. I really do think

that if Aimee Fuller can land her

run, she will make it into that top

ten.

ten.

Come on, Aimee, sending it with

the backslide 360, and now was the

last run... I hope she is OK.

Second

jump, felt good that time, then it

was, do you want to go for it on the

third? Literally as I was in the

air, there was the strongest gust of

wind of the day and there was no way

that I could hold onto it, so I am

absolutely devastated.

absolutely devastated.

The Canadian,

this is where it counts, just making

it over. Into the last jump.

it over. Into the last jump. The

switch, and she has got it, but one.

Next, one of the riders who was not

happy about the course after this

first one, coming through the

hardest section, over the close-out,

the 50-50 backslide, 1080. The

backside 720. She holds on. This is

going to be good. The frontside 360,

goes smart, bouncers of the knuckle.

Enna Rukajarvi will not go higher

than her silver medal from Sochi,

but now she has got to see if she

can stay in that medal position.

Anna Gasser has written in four big

Eck contest this year and she has

won all of them. It is a one under

flip, Jamie Nicholls called it, sat

next to me. The backside 720, and

she has gone huge. Oh, my gosh.

she has gone huge. Oh, my gosh.

Anna

Gasser has not landed either offer

runs here at an Olympic final.

There

is definitely going to be a USA god,

but is it going to be Julia Marino

or Jamie Anderson?

She is down, she

is down. That means that the Jamie

Anderson has won the gold.

We go back up to the top were Jimmy

Anderson knows that she has claimed

the second consecutive Olympic gold

medal. Lovely shifting to the

backside 1080. Oh, no. And you

think, why?

think, why? Jamie Anderson crowns

what has been a very well decorated

career, with a second gold medal.

Jamie?

career, with a second gold medal.

Jamie? Whoo! Jimmy Anderson has

dominated snowboarding for so many

years, and now she's a double

Olympic champion -- Jamie Anderson.

I had a really good jump here, but

there were so many girls who could

land a run and win this contest. I

was going to just let it go.

I think

they should have cancelled it

because it was dangerous. Lucky that

no one got hurt, I guess. But this

should not happen again.

should not happen again.

After that

controversial competition I caught

up with Jenny Jones and asked her

her thoughts about it.

I am

absolutely gutted for these girls.

They were so looking forward to this

event then they get two runs, just

two ones in the final. You probably

already heard it, but it was

potluck, almost.

In your view, was

it too dangerous?

Should they have

postponed it today? It did look too

dangerous to me. You can ride with a

tail wind or a constant win, but

this was gusting in and out. This

was a big risk. I am so surprised

that some of the girls didn't speak

up at the top when they had a rider

meeting, they speak that the coaches

and judges and make a decision and a

call about whether it should go

ahead. I wonder if they got so in

the moment with the training session

that that was maybe overlooked, to

consider, hang on a minute, guys,

this wind is really picking up now.

Equally, cut if you have a lot of

younger riders who just want to get

on with it they are not likely to

stand up to the Olympic organisers

say they do not fancy it.

There was

a question that maybe some of the

girls tried to and maybe some did

not and that is also a question of

some of the coaches supporting their

athletes and speaking up as well.

Again, we do not really know,

everything is hearsay on what

happened in that conversation or if

that conversation even came about.

Did they feel the pressure from the

TV? I don't know.

For more insight

on what really happened we can hear

from Amy Fuller who has had time to

digester competition although she

was disappointed in her own

performance and this is what she had

to say.

I think it was just nervous

voicing their opinion and they do

not want to let the Olympic finals

get in their head. I feel like

people were in denial of actually

how bad the wind was. It is the

Olympic final and what do you do?

They ran it and unfortunately I just

do not think it was the best display

by any means of women's snowboard

slopestyle. The level right now with

through the roof. Our sport is so

young and fast and progressive and

today was not the day for our sport.

Letters have the view of then and

Chemmy two.

I give the massive

respect for doing that. For me I

would have cancelled the day. I pick

the girls and the coaches really had

to speak up so that their voices

were heard.

It is dangerous. This is

one of the best riders in the world

and she could not deal with it.

Yes,

Anna Gasser has been so progressive

in the last four years and I have

seen so many of her runs and you

know that these guys have got

everything on Loch now. They know

how to write these jumps. Today 's

display has really shown that there

has been such challenging

conditions.

As we know from Katie

Ormerod 's injuries, this is a

dangerous sport, either when the

wind is not up like this.

Just these

replays of the crashes, this never

happens on a day without wind. It is

just, there you go, I am amazed that

none of the girls have come out with

injuries.

You were saying that only

nine girls have a clean run with

landings.

Yes, out of 52 runs.

That

is not a ratio that would never

normally happen. One that did on her

first run, Jamie Anderson, who was a

good friend of yours, Chemmy Alcott,

and I was looking at a headline in

Time magazine and they were calling

her USA 's Olympic hippie.

I am not

going to say that, but she is a free

soul. She loves the sport and should

breeds aren't you live set. She

doesn't do it to compete, she

doesn't do it to be judged, she does

because she is up having loads of

fun and you saw Julia Mancuso

interviewed and she is a mutual best

friend we have been sapping together

and she is an amazingly athletic

girl and she is out there doing yoga

every morning and she has a

phenomenal six-pack and she can

adapt the body into any position

possible which is why I think she

handled this change and the

adversity of the wind so well. She

has so many tricks up our sleeve and

she knows her body so well so she

was able to adapt and user

experience today.

Her experience was

really showcased today. She came out

on top because she knew exactly what

you need to do and she showed how

fluid her muscle memory is and it

showed through all of her tricks

that she had them on Loch.

She makes

them look easy.

She is the first

snow style snowboarder to ever

defend the title. That is it for

snow board slopestyle and we have

big air on Friday with final

qualification on Monday but before

that we have some serious medal

hopefuls for Team GB in these skiing

slopestyle.

This is when you can feed the

freestyle skiing slopestyle. Izzy

Atkin and Katie Summerhayes on

Saturday at 1am. Then on Sunday at

1am you can see James Woods.

American snowboarder Chloe Kim whose

parents are both from South Korea

has admitted to feeling like Kim

Kardashian Ian out there given the

level of media scrutiny and few

could keep up with her in the

qualification round of the women's

halfpipe.

Look at her list of biographies and

it is just a list of the first youth

Olympic youth champion and she has

been done that so can she step it up

into the senior level? A really nice

big backside air. A frontside seven.

It could be switched seven. It is.

Double Grabban really nice control

on that grab. You are going to see a

big Makar twist. A slightly

unorthodox way of doing the indie

grab. A frontside seven and an

invert at the bottom.

invert at the bottom. She can

just... If she is a racing driver

she is able to turn it on when she

needs to. She can find the extra

gear. She has found it there and in

many ways what she has done is she

has just signalled the entire field

there. She has built a fire and got

a blanket out smoke signal the rest

of the field and said, do you know

what, I'm only in third gear, look

at the double grab here. She missed

it slightly. This was really nice.

it slightly. This was really nice. A

front side nine and then a twist

with the indie grab. Back hand on

the toe edge there and she lands it

really nice and high. A beaming

smile and is an improvement. Look at

that. 95.5 and Chloe Kim we will see

you tomorrow.

She is getting very close to the

magic 100 and only she and Sean

White have ever had that perfect

score.

Yes, Chloe Kim is also the

first female to do back to back

penalties as well so she really is a

league above everyone else.

She is

so relaxed. The best ones just make

it look easy. Korean eyes will be

glued to Chloe Kim and all the

Americans are tuning in tomorrow

morning at 1am tomorrow at our time

she drops in for the first-ever

final runs. If you think she is

great, how about these two?

Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean

have won the gold medal of the 1984

Olympic ice dance competition.

It

might be 34 years since that cold

night in Sarajevo but those images

still feel so fresh and this man has

not aged a jot.

The pictures clearly

favour big Elf!

favour big Elf! -- the pictures

clearly say something else.

With

that routine give you a medal now?

Know, in a word, no. Sport has moved

on so much and the technical

difficulty that goes into it and the

requirements that go into it now, it

just wouldn't stand up. At the time

it was the cutting edge, like the

Olympics are now.

Do you still enjoy

watching the figure skating of the

ice dance? Does it grab you?

I have

been pretty involved with some of

the competitors this time that are

out there. Penny and Nick and also

the French team and the American

team and a German team.

Everybody!

You are in demand. He is just too

modest. We will get the views of

Chris in a moment or two and we will

watch the figure skating team event

with Canada going into the final

competition leading from Russia by

six points.

This Elvis routine set the bar for

Adam Rippon, an Olympic debutant,

who put in a magical performance but

came up a point shy of the silver

position. All eyes turned to the

three times world champion, Patrick

Chan from Canada, to keep alive his

team in the gold medal spot and his

chances of a first Olympic medal.

A beautiful quadruple toe loop. A

second quadruple is a repeat, which

he is allowed one of. It is going to

come right now.

come right now. Exquisite.

Absolutely glorious.

That should have been a triple axel,

in combination.

Despite some anchor

character is to mistakes the Patrick

Chan score was enough to extend the

lead for Canada. The medals at this

stage were all still in the balance

as we turn to the women. 24-year-old

Mireya nagger Sue landed the triple

axel and did so within the first 30

seconds of her routine, something

only two women before her have ever

done in the history of figure

skating. Her performance was enough

to keep up the battle for silver and

bronze with the Russians. A solid

routine from Canada 's Gabrielle

Daleman was enough to keep Canada in

pole, so it was down to a Russian

firecracker, Alina Zagitova, who

would steal the show and the silver

medal.

Another triple flip. The last jump,

the axel.

Going into the final phase of the

team event, the medals were already

decided. Canada reversing report

tunes from Sochi by taking the gold

and leaving the silver to the

Russians and USA the bronze. Three

times world champions and the gold

medallists from 2010, Canada 's

Tessa Virtue Scott Moir, put on a

masterclass in the ice dance.

It is brilliant to see Canada win,

and the celebrations, but really

they want the individual glory and

we saw some real gauntlet being laid

down there, particularly in the

women's event. Alina Zagitova, the

15-year-old from Russia was just

mind blowing!

mind blowing!

She saw what Medved

gave was doing and she brought attic

wonderful performance although some

people have called it clinical and

some skating people do not like it

because everything she does is

points first and aesthetic second

but she delivered the goods and

there is likely to be a silver and

gold from those two in the

championships but in what order we

just do not know. Mirai Nagasu from

the USA gave a performance of her

life and we haven't seen a triple

axel for many years at this level in

the competition.

Scott Moir and

Tessa Virtue I head and shoulders

above the rest and we haven't seen

the French pair with whom they train

yet and that could be a big rivalry

there but for me they look

untouchable.

I prefer them. But

then, the French team laid down a

free dance in the European champions

and they have a new world record and

they have the world record score

over also they will not go down

without a fight and I know they

train together and they know exactly

what each other is capable of and it

is just a question of who will

deliver on the day. The thing about

Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, they

have had an opportunity to skating

front of the crowd and the judges

and really deliver a performance and

it

was a masterclass of performing as

well as being able to deliver the

technical quality of what is

required.

Great stuff. We can get

the view of Christopher Dean. You

said something about the team

competition. When you think you

should be? Nil it is only the second

time it has been held and acquitted

at the front of the Olympics but I

think it is more of a celebration at

the back end with the camaraderie of

your team-mates around you and I

would like to see a head-to-head

right off the back with the

individual

right off the back with the

individual skating which should be

first and then the team event and

that is my personal opinion. Maybe

they will change that in four years'

time and that will make headlines!

Lets just celebrate with Canada.

Particularly Patrick Chan. Having

won so much in his career, this is

his first Olympic medal.

I'm so

happy for him. He's a skater's

skater. He's very majestic. He has a

lot of maturity in his skating. As

an individual, going into the

individual competitions he just has

not got the jump power now, you have

got people doing potentially five

quads in the competition and he

hasn't got those courts.

Talking

about jump power, we saw something

rare, this triple axel.

I cannot

tell you how many triple axel, she

does in a day, to get that. It is

nine out of ten, which is a great

achievement rate. But you have got

to do it on the night. And it is so

precise.

So few have done it, she's

only the third in Olympic

competition, Tonya Harding was the

first American, at the nationals,

not the Olympics.

It is a huge

achievement for ladies figure

skating.

Is it going to be a battle

of the young Russians when they have

to be up against each other, Evgenia

Medvedeva and Alina Zagadou the? She

is the young pretender, the

underdog, nothing to lose,

everything to gain. She's going to

get out there with a lot of

confidence.

They are team-mates,

they train at the same rink and have

the same coach and she has already

beaten her once. This is getting to

be a fantastic competition. I saw

her tapping on the shoulder end of

that and it is great camaraderie

between them.

The next figure

skating is the pairs. The short

program begins at 1am on Wednesday

with the medals decided in the

pre-programme at 1:30am on Thursday.

Let's stay on the ice.

Let's stay on the ice. Canada and

Norway, only to be silly fun. The

first semifinal under way, so much

weight on every stone, every chance,

and an early opportunity missed for

Canada. Yet the macro that is a

mistake. Norway then pounced on a

mistake. Norway stealing one in the

third end. That is going to Ta'ai

was up at 2-2. Now the mistake from

the Norwegians.

the Norwegians. The momentum slid

back towards Canada.

Has she done enough?

Reprieve for

Canada. Now we had a contest. The

Norwegians try to recover lost

ground. Now we have a match with

just one shot between Canada and

Norway.

Into the final end and it

became clear that they would be no

way for Norway, who finally gave up

and thought.

There is the handshake

and finally, Norway conceding and

they will be contesting the bronze

in the match them. So do the evening

and the semifinal between a married

couple representing the Olympic

athletes from and the mixed doubles

world champions from Switzerland.

The Swiss went unbeaten through that

tournament.

If you have the hammer

on first end, fine, but putting it

but a couple, that is nice stuff.

The pressure of Truman Capote 's

ring on many a marriage but this

couple have found harmony. We are

tired after two.

They were adding

single point in the following end.

She has just about done enough. A

furious fightback then played out in

slow motion.

Switzerland still have

a bit of work to do.

The seventh

end, crunch time and the Swiss

couple rediscovered their touch at

just the right moment.

The hammer

will be with them in the final.

The

Howard means the right to drink

whilst another final N.

A Hail Mary

might have cleared out their

opponents and won it, but this

unfortunately, was it.

It is

Switzerland to win, I huge error at

the end. And I guess that is what

pressure curling is all about. This

was gone to play Canada for gold,

and first mixed doubles final is

tomorrow at five past 11 in the

morning. If it is anything like the

semifinals, you will not want to

miss it.

Still to come tonight:

She might have lost

her nerve in Sochi,

four years later can Sara Takanashi

take a leap of faith?

If you've got dodgy

knees, look away now.

Mikael Kingsbury jangles his joints

but will he jump for joy

in the men's moguls?

She's looking to become

the most successful

speed skater of all time,

flying dutchwoman Ireen Wust

goes in the 1500m.

Hi, babes!

The time is 26.

Your pecs look good.

She has stolen

my trolley and then still hasn't got

over being alike. Four years ago we

saw the inauguration of an event

that was long overdue at the

Olympics, that we now look back on

and cannot believe was never part

the Olympic programme.

the Olympic programme. The climb to

the ski jump is one of the most

daunting in sport. For women, it

took decades of fight, before they

were allowed flight. Since the

Winter Olympics began women were

banned from ski jumping. Enter a

former mayor of Salt Lake City ahead

of the games their 16 years ago.

In

2002 we had a gender a legal

Olympics, and I was flabbergasted. I

had no idea that woman couldn't

jump.

She took on the battle in

court and in the media. In 2011,

although those years of prejudice

and obstruction were ended with a

phone call. -- all those years. In

Sochi, women had finally reached the

top of a hill.

To be a champion is

fantastic. To be the first

champion... Is Olympic immortality.

Vogt has done it. It is amazing to

me on the podium, the first time, I

am speechless.

It is a goal that

woman sport has waited a long time

to see.

to see. Corradini died a year later

but she had done so much for the

sport.

This is a dream come true.

For women's rights, human rights,

woman and sport, all of the above.

Vogt made history in Sochi but her

dreams of what would not held by the

second I.

second I. Takanashi Japan jumped

into the lead but it did not last

long.

long. Althaus of Germany overtaking

the Japanese athlete with a star

score of 123.2. The order changed as

the event leader and scored her

German rival on style to finish top

after round one. This was a

situation going to the final round.

It promised to be tight all the way,

and it was.

Big event skier. The defending

Olympic champion. She brings her

best at the best events and can she

bring it here?

That is good height.

This is going to be close,

This is going to be close, to CF

Vogt can take over the lead.

And she

does. She is an first place. Five

to go, Irahsh-Stoltz didn't know she

would be.

She is short. That is

close. It is going to be further.

This is going to be crazy. We're

going to see some wild jumps.

going to see some wild jumps.

She is

crushed right now.

Avvakumova, one of the Olympic

Athletes from Russia has looked very

strong.

It was good.

It looks long.

She is right around that point. The

fist bump said it. That was amazing.

And there you go. She is on top. Can

she hang on for a medal?

she hang on for a medal? Sara

Takanashi what is this more than

anyone, the most decorated woman in

the event was like history, and that

is a big jump for her.

All she had

to do was go to the K-point at 98

metres to take over the lead, and

she did that, with 103.5 metres.

Wonderful from her. She wants to

show that she can show up when it

counts. And you bet she does. Into

first place the lead in the combined

scores. Althaus up top, knowing what

she needs to do to challenge for the

gold medal.

gold medal. Althaus, floating in,

reaching for every metre, I think

she's done it.

I think that's done

it. Excellent take-off, the arms

back, palms back, it is going to be

close.

And she is on top. Althaus

and Gold Medal position that want to

go and see bumps her team-mate from

the podium. The number one in

the podium. The number one in the

world, Maren Lundby, going for the

gold, leaning over the skis, can she

get their? And she does!

What a

jump! Unbelievable. 110 metres. One

metre from the Hill record.

I don't

believe it. Maren Lundby has claimed

the tenth Gold Medal for Norway and

the first ever in women's ski

jumping. She was laser focused

through the snow. She could see the

gold medal right ahead of her, and

it is hers. The focus all season has

been to win the gold, and she does

so over Althaus of Germany, and Sara

Takanashi in bronze position.

so over Althaus of Germany, and Sara

Takanashi in bronze position.

Sara

Takanashi gets a medal this time the

bronze, and the gold goes to Maren

Lundby of Norway. It was a

competition again disrupted by the

wind, but they seem to deal with it

well. Chemmy, although women are

allowed to jump in one ski event it

is not equal the men.

The men have

back-to-back chances, the guys who

live and breathe the sport, they get

four chances, and the woman only

have this one event, great that it

is included.

And indeed the big

hill, which they do in the World Cup

all the time.

In Alpine skiing the

woman have been racing downhill,

deemed dangerous, since the 1948

Olympics in St Moritz.

So why cant

they have consistency? In

snowboarding I imagine it has always

been men and women because it is a

relatively young sport.

The big air

was an event where the woman were

excluded. They have just introduced

woman into that. There are more

medals up for grabs for them. And I

think equality is needed.

Chris, you were part of a pair.

It

is all equal in figure skating. Some

of the earliest champions were

ladies champions.

One of Britain's

first gold medallists in the Winter

Olympics was a huge star and a

woman.

Baby steps.

woman.

Baby steps.

When a sports

star is stated as the best the sport

has ever seen, it is that they feel

the pressure most, maybe? They are

expected to win and they must win,

mustn't they? But sometimes it is a

bumpy ride.

Some call him the

greatest, one-of-a-kind, the master

of the moguls. He has one more

international titles in this event

than anyone else, wowing even those

who invented it.

who invented it. Hiroshima would not

be stopping Kingsbury because the

world champions ended in the powder

in round two. We join the action as

the Aussie

in round two. We join the action as

the Aussie Matt Graham goes.

Here we

go, the man who finished seventh in

the Sochi four years ago. Watch him

work the knees. He has been skiing

all night and these are really good

and fast and accurate terms from the

Australian. It is mistake free so

far. 1080 and what a runner from

Matt Graham from Australia. That has

got the Australians on their feet,

as if they needed an excuse. I could

not spot any mistakes at all. He

went big on the final kicker. Three

lateral twist 's. It is gold-medal

position and a big score. 82.574

Graham of Australia.

Graham of Australia. Here is Mikael

Kingsbury. World number one. The one

thing that is missing is the Olympic

gold medal. Can he complete the set?

He is off and running. The landing

was absolutely bang on from Mikael

Kingsbury. Barely a movement before

he started with the terms in the

middle part of the course. He is

covering the ground super-quick

here. He flies and he lands and his

skis on. That has got to be good

enough for gold-medal position with

just Daiichi Hara to come. The

Canadians are celebrating. Surely

that is a medal for Mikael

Kingsbury, who took the silver

behind his compatriot four years ago

in Sochi. Superb aerial form from

Kingsbury. A really high degree of

difficulty there. Will it be good

enough for gold-medal position? He

leaves 86.63 and that will take some

beating. Kingsbury is guaranteed

silver at worst.

silver at worst. 86.63 to beat and

that is a massive task now for

Daiichi Hara. The last skier of the

2018 Olympic moguls competition is

away. Daiichi Hara of Japan skis the

first few turns pretty solidly and

he lands. These terms are where he

can do the real damage. This is

where he has been on fire tonight.

Beautiful bump skiing from Daiichi

Hara. It is fast and direct. He goes

high and grabs some land softly and

sweetly and skis away. Is it enough

for a medal? Possibly. Enough for

gold? I am not sure. The degree of

difficulty displays by Kingsbury in

his aerial manoeuvres might just see

him take the title. Deji Haro may

well be on for a medal here. He is

praying and waiting and they are

keeping him waiting. He has the

bronze. He has the medal for Japan

but Mikael Kingsbury is the Olympic

Bumpus champion at last. The world

number one fulfilled his dream and

wins the biggest prize in moguls

skiing.

It was the happiest podium of the

day and all three of them were so

thrilled. We watched and we worry

about our knees.

Everyone watches

that feels pain in the lower body.

There is so much absorption and

suspension and you can see the

jarring in the slow motion. The

upper body has to be so disciplined

and their legs are taking it.

You

need oil in your joints.

That is why

I think they are quite young.

Now to

the greatest speed skater of all

time. One more gold for Ireen Wust

and she will become the most

decorated Dutch Olympian of all

time.

Away they go. Getting straight into

her stride and aggressively punching

her way through the air. The

important thing is to come down this

home straight and the first 300

metres, you can see the Canadian

will be looking to try and creep

behind the Canadian as she comes out

of this time but it is a superb

opening for Ireen Wust.

The crowd

are getting into this because there

are a lot of Dutch people here and

here they go, crossing over. Ireen

Wust will go on to the top of the

track now. This could work out well

for Brianne Tutt from Canada if she

can keep tabs on Ireen Wust all the

way around here she could be dragged

to a very good time as well.

Absolutely. Let us see what time she

goes to ear. 28.43 for Ireen Wust.

That is an amazing time.

Four tents

of the second outside the fastest

time so there is still work to do.

As she timed her effort well? Does

she have enough left in the tank?

She needs it most on the last lap.

You can see the blue line is how far

she is behind the leader at the

moment but the last lap she will be

doing a lot better, one tenth of a

second better than Brittany Bowe.

The crowd are really getting behind

her here. Away she goes, down the

back straight and halfway today now.

It needs to be a big finish and it

looks as though she is coming up

with it because as you can see the

advantage is growing with every

stride here. Up the finishing

straight and towards the line, it

read -- Ireen Wust is going for it

and she gets it. She goes into first

place. Ireen Wust from the

Netherlands nudges Brittany Bowe

from the top position on the podium

and she is the new leader. She had

to wait and see if that was enough.

On Saturday she was only beaten by

0.08 and this was a reaction when

she realised she had won a fifth

Olympic gold medal and a tenth

Olympic medal in total, a new Dutch

record. Winter or summer games. She

is a genuine legend. Ireen Wust is

best. Here is what health has been

happening today.

best. Here is what health has been

happening today.

In a sport of two

skills, two golds for Laura Tao

Myhill added the pursuit to a sprint

title in the biathlon, and it

Olympic double that no woman has

ever done before. They another

historic win for the men as the

French athlete was the first to win

back-to-back. Luge is a German

speciality said there was no

surprise to see at Natalie

Geisenberger of Bavaria in the lead

after the first two rounds. The

Brits look strong in the skeleton.

It might just be practised but

Dominic Parsons was fastest on his

second run, as was Laura Deas. Lizzy

Yarnold was third and fourth

quickest.

We will find out if they

can hold that skeleton form in their

third and fourth rounds for the men

on Friday and the women is on

Saturday from 1128.

-- 1120 AM. The same top three as

yesterday on the medals table. The

big mover today is Canada. Two macro

golds and a silver means they

leapfrogged their North American

neighbours into fourth spot. Now

time to off piste.

Have a look at these triplets. Who

needs a baby-sitter when you at the

Olympics on the telly.

Start them

early, that is what we need from

Britain.

It is not just babies and

children watching, there is also

animals. That cat is actually

hanging over and wanting to touch

the skater. This baby is trying out

all the different sports.

How cute.

Now let's look at this video of

teams skeleton. They look slightly

dangerous, don't get run over! The

Swiss ski team are clearly a bit

bored about something is being

cancelled. This is how they had been

spending their time. Do not do this.

You'll it is funny, but we don't

want to promote this. They are

incredible athletes. He jumps over

the top.

Incredible strength.

This

is all so the Swiss ski team. They

are nuts!

They looked like they are

having the most fun, don't they?

Now

time for red-hot and ice-cold. First

up, it has been a good day for

Canada but not in the halfpipe. Both

of their riders crashed out in

qualifying.

qualifying. That is four years down

the drain. Now ice hockey with

Switzerland against Japan. If you're

going to score, do it in style. The

slightest touch gets past the goalie

and the bonuses to take out players

on the way. Nice. It is a thankless

task being a luge coat but in all of

that effort to train your athlete to

the pinnacle of sporting excellence

and then...

and then... I tell you what, his

face says it all.

face says it all. This slopestyle

snowboarder is just showboating

here. He is from New Zealand and

this is a double backflip. That is

skills. Radzi will be here just

after midnight with the women's

halfpipe and the men's combined and

I will be back at 9:15am tomorrow

morning to bring new Elise Christie

going in a quarterfinal of the 500

metres.

Exciting.

I might not sleep

tonight but I hope police will.

We

are channelling so much positive

energy and luck.

She will be tucked

up in bed by now but tomorrow

morning she gets a chance to raise

the bad Olympic memories of four

years ago so do join us from ten

tomorrow morning to see how she gets

on.

Being disqualified in Sochi hurts.

No they have gone down! I thought

about never skating again. It took

me two macro years to get over that.

It may be tougher than I ever

thought I could be.

Elise Christie

is aiming to be the first British

woman to win a short track title.

Christie is leading the charge. It

is tight and she has done it, she is

the world champion. Elise Christie.

Here comes Christie on the inside.

Another gold!

Proving something to

the world. One gold, two macro

golds, three golds. When something

breaks your heart it takes awhile to

love it again but I am now. -- but I

am smiling now. I am ready for the

spotlight.
