0:00:13 > 0:00:15Previously, at the Winter Olympics...Glorious slalom skiing
0:00:15 > 0:00:22from Marcel Hirscher.Brilliant run from Chloe Kim.It is Canada's gold
0:00:22 > 0:00:27medal.A great day for Germany. Elise Christie ends up on the floor
0:00:27 > 0:00:34against a green right now... Fuming. Fontana is the Olympic champion.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Hello and welcome to Today at the Games.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Our regular one our round-up of everything that has been going on at
0:01:11 > 0:01:16the Winter Olympics and looking at what you have been up to.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19It's day 5, and we have a packed show for you tonight.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Here's what's coming up...
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Targetting his third Olympic title, Shaun White's wants
0:01:24 > 0:01:25to fly out of sight.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28to fly out of sight.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30As GB start their curling campaign, we welcome the skip that
0:01:30 > 0:01:34delivered that glorious gold.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Figure skating and the North Korean pair will hope their performance
0:01:37 > 0:01:44is as synchronised as their support.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48And keeping the relationship suite in ice hockey with the unified team
0:01:48 > 0:01:50of Korea.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54And we welcome downhill ski racer Chemmy Alcott,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56In her special Valentines kit...
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Snowboarder Ben Kilner, and Olympic gold medal winning figure
0:01:58 > 0:02:01skater Christopher Dean.
0:02:01 > 0:02:09Who doesn't call this Valentine's Day but?Bolero day.And that is why
0:02:09 > 0:02:15you have worn purple. Very good! The weather in Pyeongchang is playing
0:02:15 > 0:02:18absolute havoc with the schedule, especially for the Alpine skiing
0:02:18 > 0:02:23events. Have a look at this.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25These were the pictures from over night from
0:02:25 > 0:02:27the Yongpyong Alpine Centre.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32They were due to be running the women's slalom,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35but they've been experiencing high winds
0:02:35 > 0:02:37of over 40 mph.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40In fact, it was so bad that not only was the slalom postponed,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42the Olympic Park was evacuated for safety reasons.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44This is the updated schedule for the skiing events:
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Difficult for those multi-eventing because it is packed in.Yes, a huge
0:02:48 > 0:02:49programme.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52because it is packed in.Yes, a huge programme. The next few days, good
0:02:52 > 0:02:56conditions. The organisers have seen that. They have girls racing giants
0:02:56 > 0:02:59linemen, men downhill, then the days
0:02:59 > 0:03:02that. They have girls racing giants linemen, men downhill, then the days
0:03:02 > 0:03:05after the another discipline, three and three days, it for those going
0:03:05 > 0:03:08for multiple medal.The only event that has gone ahead, the men's
0:03:08 > 0:03:14combined, Marcel Hirscher won it and he had to deal with really difficult
0:03:14 > 0:03:20conditions. Look at the wind here for his slalom run.And in a sport
0:03:20 > 0:03:23where precision, millimetres can be such a risk and you can straddle and
0:03:23 > 0:03:29come out of the Olympic event, so important for it to be fair and
0:03:29 > 0:03:37equal. Michaela Shiffrin was glad today.Yes, favourite for giant
0:03:37 > 0:03:42slalom and could end up doing...She could do all five gold medals here.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44It will be some programme if she does.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Well, just under 20 miles away from the Alpine Centre
0:03:46 > 0:03:49was the Phoenix Snow Park where, thankfully, the wind wasn't
0:03:49 > 0:03:51too strong to affect the mens snowboard halfpipe.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54It's a show all of its own and a final stocked with talent,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57but the name you'll be most familar with is Shaun White,
0:03:57 > 0:04:01who recently scored a perfect 100 to ensure his place at this Olympics,
0:04:01 > 0:04:08but his journey to Korea hasn't been straightforward...
0:04:11 > 0:04:19For 15 years, Shaun White has dominated half pipe. He seemed to
0:04:19 > 0:04:22possess an unshakeable belief, beating his competitors before he
0:04:22 > 0:04:26had even dropped in the.What a finale.But four years ago, chasing
0:04:26 > 0:04:33a third gold medal, that belief was tested, torn.Shaun White has missed
0:04:33 > 0:04:38out on a medal.He took time to refocus, rediscover his will to win
0:04:38 > 0:04:44and return to the pipe. Yet self belief alone could not protect him
0:04:44 > 0:04:50from the stresses of his sport. Hospital care and 64 stitches were
0:04:50 > 0:04:58required for that. White's belief has been tested, perhaps, but his
0:04:58 > 0:05:01ability remains intact. An incredible 98.5 ensured his place in
0:05:01 > 0:05:06the final, but there was real pressure here. Riders who believed
0:05:06 > 0:05:11they had the talent and the tricks to soar above Shaun
0:05:11 > 0:05:15they had the talent and the tricks to soar above Shaun The format is
0:05:15 > 0:05:20very simple, three runs each rider, the best run will count.Sit tight
0:05:20 > 0:05:28ladies and dumped on, it is the first of the big three. These silver
0:05:28 > 0:05:31medallist from 2014, Ayumu Hirano. What will he give us on this first
0:05:31 > 0:05:36run?
0:05:36 > 0:05:42You can hear the collective ahh of the crowd as he goes stratospheric.
0:05:42 > 0:05:51240. 1080. Oh, no.Ayumu Hirano, the 19-year-old is a veteran. He has
0:05:51 > 0:05:55been riding at the highest level for eight years. He turned up at the US
0:05:55 > 0:06:01Open when he was just 11 and approached the half pipe there. Next
0:06:01 > 0:06:06in, Scotty James. So much has been said about this man. He certainly
0:06:06 > 0:06:16looks relaxed. The classic run is 12 to 12. Frontside 1260. Oh my
0:06:16 > 0:06:29goodness, there it is! Backside 1260. Back-to-back 12s done.Huge
0:06:29 > 0:06:38crippler. Now switch, backside. 1260! There it is. He's done it!
0:06:38 > 0:06:46What a run to lay down first go. The judges will be melting over that.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51This is the switch backside 1260, approaching a pipe wall at Mac ten
0:06:51 > 0:06:56on your heels, switch is the hardest thing to do in pipe. Not only can
0:06:56 > 0:07:03Scotty James do it revolve 1260 degrees when he gets there. This
0:07:03 > 0:07:10goal will be ridiculous. 92! -- this score will be ridiculous. Scotty
0:07:10 > 0:07:13James moves into first place and Shaun White knows the heat is on
0:07:13 > 0:07:18already. It is only first runs, ladies and undermined, and Shaun
0:07:18 > 0:07:25White is getting a little nudge from Scotty James.This is where Shaun
0:07:25 > 0:07:30White comes into his own. He is brilliant under pressure. 1440 to
0:07:30 > 0:07:40start. Oh my goodness! Absolutely massive! Into switch 1080.Maybe
0:07:40 > 0:07:45lost a tiny bit of speed in the flat bottomed.He needs to put this down,
0:07:45 > 0:07:51which he does. He holds on, how did he hold onto that? Frontside 12. He
0:07:51 > 0:07:56had to tuck his head in, it was like he was landing in the barrel of a
0:07:56 > 0:08:00wave. He just lost his helmet into the crowd, his helmet has gone into
0:08:00 > 0:08:05the crowd. He looks like he's been electrocuted.What are they doing,
0:08:05 > 0:08:09they are behaving like it is the third run! I need that back, he
0:08:09 > 0:08:15said. Yes, you do, it is not over yet.I cannot believe that run,
0:08:15 > 0:08:22under the pressure like that. The cab 1080 double cork.We know where
0:08:22 > 0:08:28it will improve and is there, if he gets polished it will be a 1440.
0:08:28 > 0:08:36Look at him! It's his first run! LAUGHTER
0:08:39 > 0:08:4694.25. Shaun White is claiming it. Take a breath, calm yourself down.
0:08:46 > 0:08:56Let's settle ourselves for run two. OK, next rider in, Ayumu Hirano,
0:08:56 > 0:09:04fell on his first run. Can he put a solid one together now?
0:09:04 > 0:09:12Stratospheric backside air from him. Frontside 14. Has he got the speed
0:09:12 > 0:09:18for the switch 14 question might yes, he has. Back-to-back 1440s.
0:09:18 > 0:09:23Frontside 12 of the will this be a frontside 1260?He makes it look
0:09:23 > 0:09:28easy, you knew he would land it from the moment he took off! Ladies and
0:09:28 > 0:09:34gentlemen, the heat is on, it's on the street.Ayumu Hirano has landed
0:09:34 > 0:09:40the biggest run there is in half pipe snowboarding right now.And
0:09:40 > 0:09:48just look at the composure. The grab is held together, helping him keep
0:09:48 > 0:09:54tight in that spin as fast as he is. Shaun White is in the biggest fight
0:09:54 > 0:09:58of his Olympic career. He has never been put under this pressure.
0:09:58 > 0:10:04Absolutely amazing.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10Absolutely amazing.95.25, Ayumu Hirano moves into first place!I'm
0:10:10 > 0:10:15just going to rip this script up here.OK.Just ripping the script
0:10:15 > 0:10:21up, it's gone.Scotty James, the Australian. He was furious when he
0:10:21 > 0:10:27lost out to Shaun White three weeks ago. He landed the best run of his
0:10:27 > 0:10:34life and Shaun White scored a perfect 100 to steal his glory. Can
0:10:34 > 0:10:40he redeem himself here? Frontside 1260.It was massive, into backside
0:10:40 > 0:10:471260. That is the best one he has ever done of those.Frontside 1080.
0:10:47 > 0:10:57Wow! I'm holding my breath.Backside 1260 with the hands down. He has
0:10:57 > 0:11:05tried to claim it at the end but not with conviction, is it?Well, he's
0:11:05 > 0:11:12still in third place.Ayumu Hirano tops the leaderboard. Shaun White is
0:11:12 > 0:11:15in second place. That is the number we are used to seeing next to Shaun
0:11:15 > 0:11:20White's name at the Olympics. This is a man who is so used to being
0:11:20 > 0:11:25given the luxury of a victory lap. Now he is in the fight of his life
0:11:25 > 0:11:31for his third Olympic gold medal. Winds up into a huge frontside 1440.
0:11:31 > 0:11:38Are we going to see the 14 here? It is low... Yes!He puts it down but
0:11:38 > 0:11:45he has lost all of his momentum into the 540. The Tomahawk... It's not
0:11:45 > 0:11:53there! Is he cracking under the pressure? The first run helmet throw
0:11:53 > 0:11:58feels very long way away for Shaun White right now.He will remain in
0:11:58 > 0:12:08second. He's still smiling.Just! This is incredible. Third and final
0:12:08 > 0:12:12descent. The Japanese rider, Ayumu Hirano, currently in gold medal
0:12:12 > 0:12:16position. He has just landed the biggest run in half pipe
0:12:16 > 0:12:27snowboarding. Can he better it? Keep up, cameraman!Enormous backside
0:12:27 > 0:12:31air. 14. He has landed flat... It has killed all of his speed.He has
0:12:31 > 0:12:41had to go for the ten. It is not to be.He has gone on the front 12.So,
0:12:41 > 0:12:49huge weight for Ayumu Hirano. Scotty James and Shaun White are still to
0:12:49 > 0:12:56drop. The Australian coach
0:12:57 > 0:12:58drop. The Australian coach talking to the famously competitive
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Australian, Scotty James. He has got to lay down the run of his life now
0:13:02 > 0:13:08if he is going to overall Ayumu Hirano.He doesn't wear boxing
0:13:08 > 0:13:13gloves by coincidence, he is here to do battle. He needs the run of his
0:13:13 > 0:13:22life here. Big frontside 1260. Backside 1260. Camera, join us.
0:13:22 > 0:13:29There it is. Oooh! Oh no!Scotty James will be the bronze medallist
0:13:29 > 0:13:38today. Shaun White, the most successful half pipe snowboarder of
0:13:38 > 0:13:43all time. Every time he's taken the gold, it's been with the luxury of a
0:13:43 > 0:13:47victory lap. Now he is under pressure. He needs 95.25 and the run
0:13:47 > 0:14:01of his life.Frontside 1440. Switch 1440. The sky hook. The fixture of
0:14:01 > 0:14:07every winning Shaun White run. Plenty of time for that... Yes,
0:14:07 > 0:14:13now... Shaun White, can he?He's landed it.Oh my goodness! It is no
0:14:13 > 0:14:17longer about the snowboarding, it is all about the judges. Shaun White
0:14:17 > 0:14:23might have done it.The difference between them is a backside air and
0:14:23 > 0:14:29frontside 540. This could be it. Judges, but the world out of its
0:14:29 > 0:14:37misery. Shaun White is the gold medallist here in 2018! That was an
0:14:37 > 0:14:42incredible display of half pipe snowboarding. Look what it means.My
0:14:42 > 0:14:42incredible display of half pipe snowboarding. Look what it means.My
0:14:42 > 0:14:47first run was really great. I did the biggest 14 of my life. I don't
0:14:47 > 0:14:53think I'll ever do do do do an Nash set the tone for the rest of the
0:14:53 > 0:14:56condition. I was really hoping that was just going to hold, skate into
0:14:56 > 0:15:02the first. Ayumu Hirano put down an amazing run and I knew I had to step
0:15:02 > 0:15:10it up. Last run, pressure was on and I put it down, it was great.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15Ben is with us, our snowboarding expert. You have competed with him.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18The emotions he showed afterwards, I mean, he has done things in his
0:15:18 > 0:15:23life, but nothing as big as this.I have never seen Shaun White so
0:15:23 > 0:15:27emotional. I saw the clip of him crying, and he has seen his mum and
0:15:27 > 0:15:32dad. It is all coming out. It meant so much for him to get the gold at
0:15:32 > 0:15:38this game. He came back from that big crash when he had 64 stitches.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42You could hear him saying to his mother, it meant so much, I worked
0:15:42 > 0:15:49so hard.What was different about this one? This time, he had to pull
0:15:49 > 0:15:52out everything.Snowboarding half pipe has never seen such a big
0:15:52 > 0:15:59battle like this for the top three positions. I think Ayumu put so much
0:15:59 > 0:16:02pressure on Shaun White that Shaun White thrives under it and he has
0:16:02 > 0:16:09pulled this run out of the bag, back-to-back 1440s, back-to-back
0:16:09 > 0:16:141260s. He is clearly delighted. Although he had been a double
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Olympic champion, not making a podium in Sochi meant he had to
0:16:18 > 0:16:22prove he was the greatest?I think that has certainly fuelled his fire.
0:16:22 > 0:16:28He worked so hard to get to the top of his game will stop after Sochi,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32he disappeared off the scene for a while, but he has put in all the
0:16:32 > 0:16:36training hours to get back where he is, at the top of the sport.The
0:16:36 > 0:16:41first snowboarder to win three Olympic gold medals, completing the
0:16:41 > 0:16:46clean sweep for the USA. Some of their winners are teenagers, some of
0:16:46 > 0:16:54them veterans.The 100th medal for the USA, I think.500th is what I
0:16:54 > 0:17:00want to say. I think... I'm looking at Chemmy, going, come on, help
0:17:00 > 0:17:08media!Big numbers.He gets an awful lot of praise and the big names love
0:17:08 > 0:17:12him, but...
0:17:12 > 0:17:15during his press conference Shaun White was asked about a past
0:17:15 > 0:17:17sexual harassment allegation - which he referred to as "gossip".
0:17:17 > 0:17:19White had previously admitted to sending lewd text messages
0:17:19 > 0:17:22to former band member Lena Zawaideh and the case was settled out
0:17:22 > 0:17:24of court for an undisclosed sum.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26The 31-year-old has since apologised for referring to those allegations
0:17:26 > 0:17:31against him as "gossip".
0:17:31 > 0:17:37There is more snowboarding to come at 4:30am.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Three more events left in the snowboarding competition.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42New for this year is the Big Air, then there's the combative parallel
0:17:42 > 0:17:44giant slalom, but tomorrow it's the snowboard cross.
0:17:44 > 0:17:52This is ridiculous - but in a good way!
0:17:54 > 0:18:00COMMENTATOR:A merciless format.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05It's going to come down to the wire! It's going to be difficult to catch
0:18:05 > 0:18:19him. This is getting very tight. The Italian has gone down! Wow!
0:18:25 > 0:18:31COMMENTATOR:Rhona Martin, one last delivery for Olympic gold. It's on
0:18:31 > 0:18:42its way. So much depending on one stone. It needs to be absolutely
0:18:42 > 0:18:49perfect, right in the centre of the house. It's looking good. She's done
0:18:49 > 0:18:59it! It is Olympic gold for Great Britain.And the Golden skip is with
0:18:59 > 0:19:03me, Rhona Howie in the house. You always get asked about what you were
0:19:03 > 0:19:06thinking when you deliver that stone, but it is interesting if we
0:19:06 > 0:19:11look at it again, how nearly it could have ended in disaster. Keep
0:19:11 > 0:19:16your eye on Fiona MacDonald and what she does with her brush. What nearly
0:19:16 > 0:19:20happened?My stone is still travelling, so if that brush had hit
0:19:20 > 0:19:25that stone, it is a running stone and it would have been removed.And
0:19:25 > 0:19:29it would have been over.It would have been a burnt stone, so that
0:19:29 > 0:19:36would have been scary.I'm glad I didn't realise that at the time! Do
0:19:36 > 0:19:42you enjoyed watching curling still? Do you get in gross?Definitely. Any
0:19:42 > 0:19:47games you watch, you are really competitive.And we have two very
0:19:47 > 0:19:50good Great Britain teams, men's and women's. What do you predict might
0:19:50 > 0:19:55happen by the end of these games? Both teams have put in a lot of hard
0:19:55 > 0:19:59work to get to where they are this year, and both have got a very good
0:19:59 > 0:20:06medal chance. They have a lot of experience and medals behind them,
0:20:06 > 0:20:10the women, but the boys haven't. They have less multisport
0:20:10 > 0:20:15experience, but they are there to do a job. I think we will see them
0:20:15 > 0:20:19both, come the end of the week.And they are all very closely related.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21For Team GB, curling is a family affair.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23There are not many degrees of separation between the two rinks.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26It's more Game of Stones than Game of Thrones.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Winter is not just coming, it's here...
0:20:34 > 0:20:41Curling runs in the blood, dynasty is carved in ice and snow. The clan
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Muirhead at the top of the tree. King Gordon once on top of the
0:20:45 > 0:20:49world. Eve
0:20:49 > 0:20:50King Gordon once on top of the world. Eve, ice cream, cast in
0:20:50 > 0:20:57bronze format years ago. Their destiny awaits. Meanwhile, another
0:20:57 > 0:21:07bloodline runs. Two brothers, David, Peter, both champion Smiths. Their
0:21:07 > 0:21:13kin have been drawn to the stones. Kyle and Cameron stand together. Two
0:21:13 > 0:21:17houses are like in dignity, united in curling.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40It is the spot that gets everyone sweeping and shouting at each other.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Eve Muirhead and her European
0:21:41 > 0:21:42champion rink started
0:21:42 > 0:21:44their campaign against OAR - on paper this looked
0:21:44 > 0:21:45like a tricky encounter.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Here's Paddy with the story.
0:21:52 > 0:21:58For years on from their smash hit, that bronze in Sochi...Goodness me,
0:21:58 > 0:22:03did they deserve that!Eve Muirhead and the band are on tour once more,
0:22:03 > 0:22:08this time on league, Lauren Gray, alongside the original line-up of
0:22:08 > 0:22:15Nicky Adams and Anna Sloan.A tricky start for the British quartet.So to
0:22:15 > 0:22:21the new material. They opened with some classic Stones, rocking out the
0:22:21 > 0:22:21the new material. They opened with some classic Stones, rocking out the
0:22:21 > 0:22:25first end completely. Three points. A great start for Great Britain. And
0:22:25 > 0:22:31for Eve Muirhead.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37for Eve Muirhead.Eve Muirhead well and truly had her eye in.Well done,
0:22:37 > 0:22:42Eve Muirhead, and a whole team, pulling really well together here, a
0:22:42 > 0:22:45wonderful start to their first match. Great Britain pick up another
0:22:45 > 0:22:50two.Olympic athletes of Russia had barely feature. They try to counter
0:22:50 > 0:22:56the setbacks with healthy snacks. They made an impact in the next end,
0:22:56 > 0:23:01two points. Maybe the comeback was on.To there for the Olympic
0:23:01 > 0:23:11athletes of Russia.Eve has seen it all before, though. Curling is known
0:23:11 > 0:23:16as chess on ice, and she is a grandmaster. Having arranged the
0:23:16 > 0:23:25pieces, she used the last shot on the next end devastatingly. That put
0:23:25 > 0:23:30the OAR in such a spot that they realised all was lost.She has done,
0:23:30 > 0:23:34superbly well, another good shot. Four for Great Britain. There is the
0:23:34 > 0:23:42handshake. It has been a poor match from a Ayumu Hirano -- from the OAR
0:23:42 > 0:23:51point of view.It is crucial to get off to a strong start in these major
0:23:51 > 0:23:56championships. We did that, played a clinical game. To get one win on the
0:23:56 > 0:24:02board after day one is nice.I hope you set your Valentine's card before
0:24:02 > 0:24:09you left?I set one, but I didn't get one back!Valentines cards have
0:24:09 > 0:24:14gone missing. Rona, were you impressed
0:24:14 > 0:24:16gone missing. Rona, were you impressed with how they started so
0:24:16 > 0:24:19strongly?Absolutely, to get three in the first end at the Olympic
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Games, they were setting them up from the word go, and they were
0:24:22 > 0:24:28there to do a job today. They played very well.Eve Muirhead is so
0:24:28 > 0:24:32experienced, still only young, but this is her third Olympic Games and
0:24:32 > 0:24:36she knows the intensity and atmosphere of it. I get the
0:24:36 > 0:24:39impression that that bronze medal four years ago just wasn't good
0:24:39 > 0:24:39enough for
0:24:39 > 0:24:43four years ago just wasn't good enough for her.Absolutely not. She
0:24:43 > 0:24:48wants gold. She has that from Europeans, from world juniors. She
0:24:48 > 0:24:53wants the whole set.It didn't even go to ten ends because Great Britain
0:24:53 > 0:24:56was so far in front. They could afford the luxury of, that's it, and
0:24:56 > 0:25:02it's done. I say that like it is straightforward, and it is not,
0:25:02 > 0:25:06clearly.It is always good to have that the because you are getting to
0:25:06 > 0:25:10grips with the ice. You are finding out what it's doing for the rest of
0:25:10 > 0:25:13the week, so it was nice to have that cushion that they could play
0:25:13 > 0:25:18the ice, learn about it and really set them up for the week.In your
0:25:18 > 0:25:27opinion, what is the key to a good team, a rink, as you would call it
0:25:27 > 0:25:31in curling?As well as being tactically sound, they have to be
0:25:31 > 0:25:34mentally fit. A game is two and a half hours and they have nine
0:25:34 > 0:25:37round-robin games to play, so they have to be focused on the whole
0:25:37 > 0:25:41time. It is being able to switch on and switch off again at the right
0:25:41 > 0:25:45time. The mental side of the game and the team dynamics are huge. You
0:25:45 > 0:25:49have four different people playing together with the same goal, so how
0:25:49 > 0:25:53did a achieve that when they all have different foibles on the ice?
0:25:53 > 0:25:59It is important that they all get on.We will catch up with the men
0:25:59 > 0:26:03later, but we will stay on the ice and go figure skating. Today was the
0:26:03 > 0:26:09first day of the pairs competition, and the short programme. The North
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Korean cheerleaders were out in force again to support the
0:26:12 > 0:26:23competitors in pairs short programme at the Gangneung Ice Arena.
0:26:32 > 0:26:38They secured a place in the top 16, the American couple. Harley Windsor
0:26:38 > 0:26:41became the first indigenous Australian to compete at the Winter
0:26:41 > 0:26:49Olympics. Sadly, the 20-year-old and his partner, the current world you
0:26:49 > 0:26:52figure skating champion, just missed out on a place in the free
0:26:52 > 0:26:59programme, finishing 18th. Another first came courtesy of Olympic
0:26:59 > 0:27:05diplomacy, with the inclusion of the pair from North Korea. They became
0:27:05 > 0:27:10the only North Korean athletes to qualify for the 2018 games on merit.
0:27:10 > 0:27:21Triple twist... Easy.
0:27:21 > 0:27:27Triple twist... Easy. Triple toe loops. Yes.
0:27:41 > 0:27:52Another triple loop.
0:27:57 > 0:28:03Taking their moment of history in their stride.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08their stride.But it was the reigning world champions, whingeing
0:28:08 > 0:28:16to unsung and whom everyone had come to see.
0:28:21 > 0:28:30--...What a comeback for them to come back from terrible injury that
0:28:30 > 0:28:38she had, double surgery on both feet and had to learn to walk again.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41and had to learn to walk again.The size of this triple flip, absolutely
0:28:41 > 0:28:47glorious. The throw is absolutely exquisite. She is flying across the
0:28:47 > 0:28:53ice. It is the quality of the elements, and there are pluses on
0:28:53 > 0:28:58every single element from judges for degrees of execution. Level four for
0:28:58 > 0:29:04every single element that they have got there.And that is why they are
0:29:04 > 0:29:10the world champions. She is ice cool. She is known amongst her fans
0:29:10 > 0:29:15as the Empress.Their score of 82.39 put the pressure firmly on the
0:29:15 > 0:29:21Canadian pair, Megan do
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Canadian pair, Megan do Hammill and Eric Radford, who already had a team
0:29:25 > 0:29:30gold in the bag.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34gold in the bag. -- Duhamel.There is a foot down on the landing as
0:29:34 > 0:29:40well. Their jump of choice, side by side triples. The hardest jump in
0:29:40 > 0:29:49the pairs event. Their second element. They make them happen,
0:29:49 > 0:29:55though they weren't the prettiest or the cleanest, but they were there.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59Was 76.82 enough to keep the Canadians in the top three? Hot on
0:29:59 > 0:30:11their skates was the 2014 bronze medallist and her new partner.
0:30:12 > 0:30:23COMMENTATOR: Got the height on the twist.That was massive!
0:30:26 > 0:30:32Oh, Bruno. Just a double Salchow. Just missed that jump.Such a costly
0:30:32 > 0:30:34error.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42Tantalisingly close, but that mistake by Bruno kept them an
0:30:42 > 0:30:48eyelash below the Canadians. So last on the ice and with a chance to
0:30:48 > 0:30:52topple the Chinese from the top spot, the European champions from
0:30:52 > 0:30:58Olympic athletes of Russia, Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03COMMENTATOR: Exquisite, triple twist, light, great flight across
0:31:03 > 0:31:11the ice and beautiful control. They will do the same on the side triple
0:31:11 > 0:31:23toe loops? Yes. Look at the timing here. Absolute perfection.
0:31:40 > 0:31:48The European champions faultless once again.STUDIO: Confirmation of
0:31:48 > 0:31:53the schools, the top 16 all through to Tamara's free skate competition.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55The Olympic Athletes from Russia unable to knock the world champions
0:31:55 > 0:31:59of the number one position but all still very much to play for as they
0:31:59 > 0:32:04skate for the medals and there will undoubtedly be more sensational ice
0:32:04 > 0:32:05actions of these bands to cheer about.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09actions of these bands to cheer about. You see, they'd be good, got
0:32:09 > 0:32:11to get everything in time. Tell me what impressed you most today,
0:32:11 > 0:32:19Chris?The Chinese, clearly. They had everything going for them. Their
0:32:19 > 0:32:22choreography is exquisite. Their athleticism is amazing. And their
0:32:22 > 0:32:28unison was so together, everything that they do. They have had a rough
0:32:28 > 0:32:34go of it, because she was injured, but they have peaked just that the
0:32:34 > 0:32:37right time, ready for the Olympics. Judging by this short programme,
0:32:37 > 0:32:42they are going to be the couple to beat, clearly.And even though they
0:32:42 > 0:32:47are in the lead, you believe they had time for a quad?Some couples
0:32:47 > 0:32:51will be doing that in the long programme. The show programme has
0:32:51 > 0:32:53required elements and that's what they have to do.They didn't have to
0:32:53 > 0:32:59do it?Absolutely.You have to question about the long and short
0:32:59 > 0:33:03programmes?The short programme is more controlled, they have to tick a
0:33:03 > 0:33:06box, they can't be free and expressive, that is left of the long
0:33:06 > 0:33:11programme?The elements are required elements they have to do in the
0:33:11 > 0:33:14short programme, it is only two and a half minutes. The long programme
0:33:14 > 0:33:18is for and a half minutes. It is more open of what they can put into
0:33:18 > 0:33:23it. There are still requirements but they can do better elements.If
0:33:23 > 0:33:28anyone is going to challenge the Chinese, will it be the layer?It's
0:33:28 > 0:33:35going to be, yes, the Russian Olympic athletes. I believe so. The
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Germans would have been in contention, but I think they may
0:33:39 > 0:33:43have ruled themselves out with that slight mistake.The Germans are
0:33:43 > 0:33:46interesting. You have been helping them with their long programme cuts,
0:33:46 > 0:33:50yes.We will see the mistake they made. They are quite different in
0:33:50 > 0:33:55height but that is not the reason this goes wrong?No, he just came
0:33:55 > 0:33:59out of the jump early, doubled it rather than the triple, so you don't
0:33:59 > 0:34:05get the points for that. It left them in fourth position. To be vying
0:34:05 > 0:34:08for the medal... Aliona is the most competitive person I have ever met.
0:34:08 > 0:34:13This is her fifth Olympics. Over 16 years she has been at this level of
0:34:13 > 0:34:17competition. When I work with them, after four hours she will say, we
0:34:17 > 0:34:23don't need to stop, we need to keep going. Bruno is more like, I'm done!
0:34:23 > 0:34:27And you are thinking, can I go home! The North Koreans got huge
0:34:27 > 0:34:34reception.They got there by merit, as well. They did a junior
0:34:34 > 0:34:38competition which was a qualifying competition. They finished in the
0:34:38 > 0:34:43top six, which got them there totally on merit. As a new country
0:34:43 > 0:34:46figure skating, they have done amazingly well. I was really
0:34:46 > 0:34:50surprised how good and technical they were and artistic from the
0:34:50 > 0:34:55go-getter.We were laughing a stay at Chloe Kim having sent to tweet
0:34:55 > 0:34:56about not eating breakfast
0:34:56 > 0:34:56at Chloe Kim having sent to tweet about not eating breakfast just
0:34:56 > 0:35:03before she tweeted. This was the funniest from the figure skating.
0:35:07 > 0:35:15I would leave it there, I think! TMI.There are quite a lot of these
0:35:15 > 0:35:21stories! Anyway... I trust she has recovered her phone. If you want to
0:35:21 > 0:35:25see extended highlights of the pairs figure skating, tune in to BBC for
0:35:25 > 0:35:31as soon as we come off air at 8pm. The final of the pairs is a free
0:35:31 > 0:35:34programme which opens in the early hours tomorrow morning.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37With the rescheduled mens downhill we'll be hoping to get to it
0:35:37 > 0:35:40live from around 4am, we will of course have
0:35:40 > 0:35:42the best of it here on the highlights programme.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Here is what is still to come...
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Suits you - thanks to high tech new body suits,
0:35:47 > 0:35:51our skeleton sliders are slipping serenely.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55Double bubble for the British lads in the curling today, two matches
0:35:55 > 0:35:58against tough opposition.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02In the mens ice hockey, the OAR are red hot favourites.
0:36:02 > 0:36:08Can the Slovaks cause an upset?
0:36:15 > 0:36:18I like, I like.
0:36:24 > 0:36:32LAUGHTER
0:36:34 > 0:36:36LAUGHTER
0:36:41 > 0:36:46Why are you going oh no? It was funny. Loads of people are filling
0:36:46 > 0:36:50their kids into doing the housework. Sweeping away! LAUGHTER
0:36:50 > 0:36:55Anyway, obviously figure skating and curling a hugely successful Olympic
0:36:55 > 0:36:59sports for Great Britain but the most successful in the 21st-century
0:36:59 > 0:37:05skeleton. We have four sliders targeting the podium, posting fast
0:37:05 > 0:37:07trial times.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08targeting the podium, posting fast trial times.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11trial times.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15Laura Deas one of the fastest starters in the field.
0:37:21 > 0:37:28Dom Parsons, boy can he run!
0:37:30 > 0:37:41Lizzy Yarnold is the Olympic champion, oh my goodness!
0:37:41 > 0:37:44If you have a look at the positions they have been an intensive practice
0:37:44 > 0:37:48times, they are going very, very quick. Laura Deas the second
0:37:48 > 0:37:52fastest. For the first three runs, coming off the pace a bit since
0:37:52 > 0:37:56then. Lizzy Yarnold has been getting stronger, consistently posting top
0:37:56 > 0:38:01three times in her last three times. Dom Parsons was going so well, he
0:38:01 > 0:38:06didn't bother with run five and six in training. So getting into the
0:38:06 > 0:38:09skeleton and behind the new technology is Matt Pinsent.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16The sport of skeleton has a proud recent history for Team GB, none
0:38:16 > 0:38:22more so than Lizzy Yarnold's fantastic gold medal in Sochi four
0:38:22 > 0:38:23years ago.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31Lizzy Yarnold is the Olympic champion, oh my goodness! But in the
0:38:31 > 0:38:36past couple of years Lizzie, Laura Deas and Dom Parsons and leading
0:38:36 > 0:38:41skeleton riders have been a bit hit and miss. However, on arrival here,
0:38:41 > 0:38:47the Brits have gone from outside contenders to the sleds to beat,
0:38:47 > 0:38:50topping times in training. It has left some of the other nations
0:38:50 > 0:38:57wondering what on earth is going on. I was notified this morning about
0:38:57 > 0:39:02the suits. It's curious to know if that is legal. I don't think it has
0:39:02 > 0:39:08anything to do the athletes all. Amy Williams, her helmet in 2010 was a
0:39:08 > 0:39:11question. It seems to be a recurring thing and I would rather address
0:39:11 > 0:39:16before we start racing.Always thinking outside the box, where can
0:39:16 > 0:39:20we buy monster difference? Where can we improve our equipment? But there
0:39:20 > 0:39:25is a strict rule book and every thing gets checked by a jury. --
0:39:25 > 0:39:33where can we buy more difference? The suits, is it a factory making
0:39:33 > 0:39:38them quick?I don't think so. They could just have mentioned the suit
0:39:38 > 0:39:44similar to British cycling, that they made around the wheel. It is a
0:39:44 > 0:39:50bit of smoke and mirrors.How is the suit, there has been a lot of chat
0:39:50 > 0:39:55about the suit?Well, as the British team, of course we push the
0:39:55 > 0:40:00boundaries, it's the Winter Olympic Games. No one sleeps. Every nation
0:40:00 > 0:40:03will be getting the best kit but they can and we are exactly the
0:40:03 > 0:40:09same.Have you cleared that before racing?All equipment is cleared and
0:40:09 > 0:40:13agreed and checked and everything. The
0:40:13 > 0:40:17agreed and checked and everything. The IAB SF have cleared these suits.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20But it is clearly causing a bit of a star. The training times are so
0:40:20 > 0:40:24good.There is so much attention on Team GB because we are at the
0:40:24 > 0:40:28forefront of this book. When you are at the forefront, you are getting
0:40:28 > 0:40:31funding and putting it into innovation. They have possibly
0:40:31 > 0:40:35pushed the boundaries can put whatever announces used to but they
0:40:35 > 0:40:39would never ever do anything that wasn't legal. I think this might be
0:40:39 > 0:40:43the other girls getting wind of this and trying to rattle our team,
0:40:43 > 0:40:46trying to psychologically get into their heads, to pinpoint something
0:40:46 > 0:40:51that they haven't thought about. We are obviously competitive, our lines
0:40:51 > 0:40:55are good, the speed. The girls are thinking... Dirty tactics possibly.
0:40:55 > 0:41:00What do you think the others are playing dirty tactics winding them
0:41:00 > 0:41:05up about it?Yes, I think competitors of Team GB are thinking
0:41:05 > 0:41:09they are so fast, there must be a reason for it. We know they wouldn't
0:41:09 > 0:41:12cheat, we know they wouldn't push boundaries on this but let's go out
0:41:12 > 0:41:16and say it to the media because then everyone will talk to them. You saw
0:41:16 > 0:41:20interviewing Lizzie, she looked a little rattled. She wants to focus
0:41:20 > 0:41:24on her event. She had a great training run and yet everyone is
0:41:24 > 0:41:31saying, are you sure your equipment is OK?Laura Deas flying down the
0:41:31 > 0:41:34track. The most important thing in this, it doesn't matter what suits
0:41:34 > 0:41:37you are, if you get your corners or lines from, you will suffer. Dom
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Parsons starts tonight, early hours of tomorrow morning, but effectively
0:41:41 > 0:41:43late, late tonight. If you want to tune in
0:41:43 > 0:41:48late, late tonight. If you want to tune in and see that, from 1am. His
0:41:48 > 0:41:51second run will be tonight as well. Then Friday for the third and fourth
0:41:51 > 0:41:57runs that will decide the medals. It is Friday morning our time, 11:20am
0:41:57 > 0:42:02UK time that the women's start and their final runs the medals will be
0:42:02 > 0:42:06at 11:20am on Saturday.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25You see, it is causing a sweeping sensation!
0:42:25 > 0:42:29Now for our second curling hit of the night, and this time it's
0:42:29 > 0:42:31the turn of the men - two tantalisingly tough encounters
0:42:31 > 0:42:32for the new-look British team.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35Here's Paddy.
0:42:39 > 0:42:44Where there is ice Stoner 's and houses there are newer heads. Meet
0:42:44 > 0:42:48Thomas Anne Glen, proficient in delivering lands as well as stones.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52Thomas is the third and Glenn the ultimate on Kyle Smith's British
0:42:52 > 0:43:00rink. Their first match against Switzerland centred on the hammer,
0:43:00 > 0:43:03the advantage of the last throw first you lose that if you miss the
0:43:03 > 0:43:08point, which Britain did at the last end, accidentally.Great Britain
0:43:08 > 0:43:13taking one.It was a mistake, they didn't mean to do that.Swiss hammer
0:43:13 > 0:43:18time and they added a point of their only more deliberate fashion.Is
0:43:18 > 0:43:23that enough? Switzerland take their one.Smith and Coe seemed rusty.
0:43:23 > 0:43:27Strategy not matching stones. Again stumbling to a point and losing the
0:43:27 > 0:43:34hammer.Oh, goodness me, what an opportunity there for Great Britain!
0:43:34 > 0:43:40And this is the danger of that. Things opened up for the Swiss in
0:43:40 > 0:43:45end six. They seized two important points.So, two for Switzerland and
0:43:45 > 0:43:50that puts them in the lead after six ends.Now the Brits were up against
0:43:50 > 0:43:55it. Switzerland still ahead by a point in the ninth end, just the
0:43:55 > 0:44:00moment for Smith to score his first double.Well done. Great Britain
0:44:00 > 0:44:06pick-up two.So GB one ahead, one end to go. Would it be enough? Final
0:44:06 > 0:44:11throw. The Swiss were on for a match-winning two points and then...
0:44:11 > 0:44:16Just got a nudge to push it out. That nudge is enough to make sure
0:44:16 > 0:44:20that Stone won't come into where he wanted it to. It is one for
0:44:20 > 0:44:25Switzerland, we have a tight match after ten ends.So an extra end but
0:44:25 > 0:44:29Smith had that all-important hammer, and with the pressure run, the
0:44:29 > 0:44:35mistakes had gone.It looks fine. Well, the handshake comes in the
0:44:35 > 0:44:40end. What a win for Great Britain. Very pleased to get off to our first
0:44:40 > 0:44:43Olympics with such a good performance. We kind of struggled a
0:44:43 > 0:44:48wee bit but we pulled it together. Really pleased to get the win.
0:44:48 > 0:44:53No time to enjoy that victory. Lurking in the evening was curling's
0:44:53 > 0:44:56most fearsome beast, Canada. A country with so much strength in
0:44:56 > 0:45:00this port their gold medallist from Sochi didn't even make it through
0:45:00 > 0:45:07the trials. They are clearly pretty useful, as the first end proved.So
0:45:07 > 0:45:12Canada get exactly what they wanted, two at the first end.Next up vapour
0:45:12 > 0:45:16pressure on Britain. In fact, had Smith got this wrong, the Canadians
0:45:16 > 0:45:21might have scored five.That might just be good enough for the one.
0:45:21 > 0:45:26Well done Callum Smith. A little bit of a pressure shot.The hammer was
0:45:26 > 0:45:31with Canada and slid an effortlessly to a position of control.Two, just
0:45:31 > 0:45:35by the way that British stone.How often do you see, to give up a 4-1
0:45:35 > 0:45:39lead.Curling can be unpredictable, even the Canadians get it wrong
0:45:39 > 0:45:45sometimes. A tough test in end six.
0:45:45 > 0:45:49Just the one, and there is a steal for Great Britain. The Canadian skip
0:45:49 > 0:45:54doesn't come up with the goods this time.An eight, every stone vital,
0:45:54 > 0:45:58Britain couldn't find a big breakthrough, but point by point,
0:45:58 > 0:46:08Smith's rink were edging back into this.Well done. Great delight --...
0:46:08 > 0:46:14GB left having to throw a hell Mary with their last stone.Are beginning
0:46:14 > 0:46:21to lose this?They need to be lying short.They are going to this one.
0:46:21 > 0:46:29-- are they going to lose this? Canada breach that it might be Great
0:46:29 > 0:46:36Britain 6-4.Is a dead -- it is a team where you need to be at your
0:46:36 > 0:46:42best and we struggled to do that. What are your thoughts on the first
0:46:42 > 0:46:49day?It could have been worse.One win, one loss, Rhona. How would you
0:46:49 > 0:46:53sum up their day?It was a tough day for the boys. Switzerland and
0:46:53 > 0:46:57Canada, two of the top nations. Yeah, one win out of two, great
0:46:57 > 0:47:02start.In the win against Switzerland, they had to go to an
0:47:02 > 0:47:09extra end and were thankful for a Swiss Miss.They had a shop for two,
0:47:09 > 0:47:15and you can just see it feathering. They are not even sweeping. Just
0:47:15 > 0:47:20feathered that top guard or they would have got their two and that
0:47:20 > 0:47:25was game over. It went to an extra end and Scotland had the hammer.
0:47:25 > 0:47:30They managed to win, so the great result.They are, indeed, all
0:47:30 > 0:47:39Scottish. It's the Olympics.Sorry, the British boys.Ice temperatures,
0:47:39 > 0:47:43we have an ideal temperature for figure skating, as do hockey, so is
0:47:43 > 0:47:50there one for curling?There is, and the ice men will watch it through
0:47:50 > 0:47:54games. They have a thermometer, and depending on the number in the
0:47:54 > 0:48:01crowd...Does it slide better if the ice temperature is really cold?Not
0:48:01 > 0:48:10too cold, no. Just in the minuses. Hockey players like it really hard.
0:48:10 > 0:48:14Figure skaters like somewhere in between, because if it is to staff,
0:48:14 > 0:48:19you lose your edges in the landings, and if it is too hard, you don't get
0:48:19 > 0:48:22the bike.I never thought we would have a detailed conversation about
0:48:22 > 0:48:30the temperature of ice! I love the outfits. Did you see the Norwegian
0:48:30 > 0:48:35men?They obviously feel comfortable in their skin.Special Valentine's
0:48:35 > 0:48:44Day trousers.Pink trousers and a red shirt - doesn't go!
0:48:44 > 0:48:46Women's Ice hockey now, and the decision to unify the teams
0:48:46 > 0:48:49of North and South Korea typifies the Olympic spirit, but they've been
0:48:49 > 0:48:52at the wrong end of two 8-0 drubbings so far.
0:48:52 > 0:48:54They've got the crowd behind them, desperate to cheer something.
0:48:54 > 0:49:01The question was not so much could they win as could they score?
0:49:06 > 0:49:12Korea, a nation divided.I cannot recall a situation when a situation
0:49:12 > 0:49:18was as dangerous.This is the most militarised part of the whole
0:49:18 > 0:49:23planet.Rocket Man, he is a sick puppy.But now a divided nation
0:49:23 > 0:49:27marching together under a unified flag.The Korean citizens have the
0:49:27 > 0:49:36same history and we are one people, one nation.And it is in ice hockey,
0:49:36 > 0:49:42unified will become truly united.
0:49:48 > 0:49:54Korea yet to score a goal.They have done it! Korea have scored their
0:49:54 > 0:50:01first ever goal in an Olympic ice hockey tournament. This arena stands
0:50:01 > 0:50:08at and they wave their flags. An historic moment. Randy Griffin
0:50:08 > 0:50:12scores Korea's first ever goal at an Olympic ice hockey tournament.
0:50:12 > 0:50:17Whether you are from the north or the south, you will be on your feet
0:50:17 > 0:50:23and cheering that goal.A wonderful moment for women's hockey.I'm
0:50:23 > 0:50:27really worried about all the teddy bears on the ice - you will get them
0:50:27 > 0:50:32tonight? Is fantastic that the United Korean team did score and
0:50:32 > 0:50:36they have one more game, the play-off for a colour seven. We will
0:50:36 > 0:50:42stay with the women's ice hockey now.
0:50:43 > 0:50:49One of the brightest young stars is not from Canada or the USA. Three
0:50:49 > 0:50:54became the youngest woman to score in an Olympic ice hockey match. It
0:50:54 > 0:51:00became the game and bronze medal winning goal. Four years later, she
0:51:00 > 0:51:06is winning more records. She equalled the record for most points
0:51:06 > 0:51:11in a game in women's ice hockey match. She scored again against
0:51:11 > 0:51:16Japan, and she opened the score with a wicked shot today. It takes up to
0:51:16 > 0:51:25six in the tournament and puts in line to take the overall record. It
0:51:25 > 0:51:29Switzerland are to break USA and Canada's stranglehold on the top two
0:51:29 > 0:51:32steps of the podium, Alina Muller will be the player leading the way,
0:51:32 > 0:51:35despite the fact she doesn't turn 20 until the middle of next month. If
0:51:35 > 0:51:42you want to be the next Alina Muller and get into eyes hockey, go to the

0:51:51 > 0:51:53In the men's ice hockey, red hot favourites OAR
0:51:53 > 0:51:54were up against Slovakia.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56With the Russians still smarting over their Olympic ban,
0:51:56 > 0:51:59victory in ice hockey - very popular back home -
0:51:59 > 0:51:59would be a potent symbol of Russian pride restored,
0:52:05 > 0:52:16Pyeongchang 20 18. What a chance this is. Good first save. That was a
0:52:16 > 0:52:25nice stop. It is so important. Not this time! It has gone through
0:52:25 > 0:52:34everybody. Conrad was screened as it came back to the blue line. There
0:52:34 > 0:52:37was enough traffic there. The Olympic Athletes from Russia score
0:52:37 > 0:52:42their first from this tournament. Another goal! Taken out of the air.
0:52:42 > 0:52:53Slovakia are shell-shocked. OAR are on fire. In comes a chance, and a
0:52:53 > 0:53:01great goal, great finish. All that ski, just that quick shop. From
0:53:01 > 0:53:06nothing, Slovakia cut the deficit in two. A chance to break away. What
0:53:06 > 0:53:21will he do? Wow! Stunning finish. Short side, top shelf. 2-0 to 2-2.
0:53:21 > 0:53:25Can they do something with this? Back he goes to the blue line. The
0:53:25 > 0:53:30shop will come, and they have taken the lead. Slovakia come from 2- 02
0:53:30 > 0:53:38now take the advantage is, an absolute bomb of a shot. And we have
0:53:38 > 0:53:41a shot in the opening game of the men's ice hockey tournament here
0:53:41 > 0:53:42a shot in the opening game of the men's ice hockey tournament here in
0:53:42 > 0:53:47Pyeongchang. And there was another shock in the other game, because the
0:53:47 > 0:53:51USA were beaten for the very first time in international competition by
0:53:51 > 0:53:54Slovenia, who celebrated like it was Valentine's Day. He was padded with
0:53:54 > 0:53:58what else has been going on.
0:53:58 > 0:54:00Valentine's Day. He was padded with what else has been going on.
0:54:00 > 0:54:06Netherlands won the speed skating. This time, it was an unexpected
0:54:06 > 0:54:17shade of orange glory in the women's 1000 metres. Not Wust, but Jorien
0:54:17 > 0:54:23Ter Mors, who set an Olympic record. The Germans weren't winning in the
0:54:23 > 0:54:31doubles luge, but the Austrians were.
0:54:36 > 0:54:39were.Back-to-back gold medals!In loose, if the Germans don't win, the
0:54:39 > 0:54:43Germans still win. Before these games, Germany's Eric Frenzel was
0:54:43 > 0:54:50having a bit of a wobble. On the Olympic course, he found form to
0:54:50 > 0:54:56defend his Nordic combined title. The Jamaican bobsleigh team is
0:54:56 > 0:55:05probably the most famous one due to the film Call Runnings. -- Cool
0:55:05 > 0:55:15Runnings. But What Will The Next Scene Bring? We Hope They Sort That
0:55:15 > 0:55:18Row Out Because We Want To See The Jamaican. Germany Cemented Their
0:55:18 > 0:55:22Position At The Top Of The Medal Table. Another Speed Skating Medal

0:56:24 > 0:56:32the luge down the stairs. And skeleton bob in North Cumbria. This
0:56:32 > 0:56:36guy caused a real stir at the ice hockey, because he does look just
0:56:36 > 0:56:52like Kim Jong-un. He is actually called how odd. -- Howerd.
0:56:52 > 0:56:59It is always embarrassing when you go, hey, partner. Here comes the
0:56:59 > 0:57:07enforcer. Boom! Who is in charge? That's right, I'm in charge!
0:57:07 > 0:57:11Sticking with ice hockey, there is always someone going for glory. They
0:57:11 > 0:57:17are there just for that moment in time, and then... Oh... You've got
