0:00:27 > 0:00:36the Olympic champion.
0:00:44 > 0:00:49MUSIC
0:01:38 > 0:01:41In the summer of 2012, the nation bathed in a golden glow.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Now in the snow and the on the ice, there was a chance to achieve
0:01:44 > 0:01:47something that had never been done before at a Winter Olympics.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Could it be Super Saturday all over again?
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Team GB had five very real hopes of medals today,
0:01:53 > 0:01:54but that's easy to say.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Worth reminding you that the last time Britain won multiple medals
0:01:57 > 0:01:59on one day at the Winter Olympics was February 9th, 1924.
0:01:59 > 0:01:59Here are the famous five who were going for gold.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Lizzy Yarnold carried the flag at the Opening Ceremony and has made
0:02:06 > 0:02:08no secret of the scale of her ambition.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10She wants to become the first British athlete to retain
0:02:10 > 0:02:11a Winter Olympic title.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Laura Deas is right there beside her, as the sport of skeleton
0:02:14 > 0:02:16aims for two places on the podium.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18At the halfway stage, she sat just seven hundredths
0:02:18 > 0:02:23of a second away from a medal.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Izzy Atkin is the youngest member of the team.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28The 19-year-old was also eyeing slopestyle success.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31And Elise Christie - her Olympic story so far has been
0:02:31 > 0:02:33one of disaster and disappointment.
0:02:33 > 0:02:40Could she finally deliver the dream result?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Four wonder women excelling at the highest level
0:02:42 > 0:02:44on the world stage.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Four women to inspire the next generation of athletes.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Four women who are targeting Olympic glory.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Three more women to inspire you.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I'm joined by downhill ski racer and four-time
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Olympian Chemmy Alcott, skeleton bronze medallist
0:02:57 > 0:03:00from 2002 Alex Coomber, and three-time Olympian and former
0:03:00 > 0:03:04short track speed skater Sarah Lindsay.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06First to the skeleton, and after Runs 1 and 2 yesterday,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09defending Olympic champion Lizzy Yarnold was in third position,
0:03:09 > 0:03:13one tenth of a second behind the leader, Germany's Jacqueline
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Lolling.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Laura Deas was a fraction behind her, but in a sport of tiny margins,
0:03:19 > 0:03:20one minuscule error can be the difference between
0:03:20 > 0:03:21victory and defeat.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23The message was clear - slide clean.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Here's Amy Williams.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36So this is it, the Olympic final, and believe me, there's no feeling
0:03:36 > 0:03:42like it and nothing means more. And with the British women up there in
0:03:42 > 0:03:46the start hut, there's a very real chance that we could bring home two
0:03:46 > 0:03:51medals, with Lizzy in third place and Laura in force, going into the
0:03:51 > 0:03:58final two runs. -- Laura in fourth place.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01COMMENTATOR: First to go with world champion
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Jacqueline Lolling. She produced a slow beginning, slight mistakes all
0:04:05 > 0:04:12the way down, and she was to lose her lead.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17her lead. That lead taken by the wonderfully consistent Janine Flock,
0:04:17 > 0:04:24three really solid runs took her to the top.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28the top. Lizzy Yarnold, the defending Olympic champion, with a
0:04:28 > 0:04:32slightly subdued heat two, was much better in heat three, putting
0:04:32 > 0:04:39herself within a hair's-breadth of Janine Flock. Laura Deas maintained
0:04:39 > 0:04:43her wonderfully consistent Olympic Games, with the quickest run of her
0:04:43 > 0:04:51three. However, she stays in fourth place. Anna Fernstadt come at first
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Olympic Games, through in her best of three runs so far, closing
0:04:55 > 0:04:59slightly on Laura Deas into fifth place.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07That's runs three done. I
0:05:07 > 0:05:10That's runs three done. I wanted to find the two important mums, the
0:05:10 > 0:05:15biggest supporters.
0:05:15 > 0:05:27biggest supporters. We've got Su two and Lizzy's month. Our you feeling?
0:05:27 > 0:05:32I was in bits, I didn't know whether to be sick, or cry, or both. It was
0:05:32 > 0:05:36ghastly.And how about you, Judith? You've been here before. She's put
0:05:36 > 0:05:41you through this feeling.We have been through before. Yesterday was
0:05:41 > 0:05:46really nervous, today, I feel so much better, really excited, because
0:05:46 > 0:05:50I know Lizzy is really good under pressure, so I feel more relaxed and
0:05:50 > 0:05:55I'm really enjoying today.But we are all chairing Lizzy Yarnold and
0:05:55 > 0:06:00Laura Deas on, it's going mad here, and we have one run left. He was
0:06:00 > 0:06:04going to bring home the medals, and I jolly hope it's both of them! For
0:06:04 > 0:06:12their mums' sake! COMMENTATOR:
0:06:12 > 0:06:18And now we come to the potential medallists will stop Anna Fernstadt,
0:06:18 > 0:06:23improvement seen right the way through the competition, and she's
0:06:23 > 0:06:32just 14 hundredths of Jacqueline Lolling of the moment. She needs to
0:06:32 > 0:06:37do what Tina Hermann has just done. A little bit, just slightly
0:06:37 > 0:06:45controlled the skid. Like most of the Germans, can she make it back in
0:06:45 > 0:06:50these bottom three corners?They are good at that, aren't they? Really
0:06:50 > 0:06:57good at holding speed. She keeps her nose in front, Tina Hermann moves up
0:06:57 > 0:07:04to fifth place.Hold it together! How are we at home? How are we all?
0:07:04 > 0:07:05Laura Deas
0:07:05 > 0:07:05How are we at home? How are we all? Laura Deas goes
0:07:05 > 0:07:06How are we at home? How are we all? Laura Deas goes next for Great
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Britain in fourth place. Doesn't really tell the measure of her
0:07:08 > 0:07:13consistency at this Olympic Games and let's not forget as well, for
0:07:13 > 0:07:19Laura, it's her first Olympic Games, aged 29. Stunningly consistent, good
0:07:19 > 0:07:24starter. We want
0:07:24 > 0:07:27starter. We want that 51.8, or better. First, we need the usual
0:07:27 > 0:07:37good start. Can she get under 5.1? She's got it, 5.09. Your bobbin
0:07:37 > 0:07:42she's matched her start from run three, can she hold it together now?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46She's got to stay calm. She is using her feet there. She's got quite a
0:07:46 > 0:07:51big lead, but look at how there, perfect lines, perfect sliding. Hold
0:07:51 > 0:07:58it together, Laura.Four turns up on Tina Hermann. She's got her rise on
0:07:58 > 0:08:06the medal, if she can.And now she carpets into the corner, perfect.
0:08:06 > 0:08:11She's improved on that, we have to hope that exit on nine was enough to
0:08:11 > 0:08:15keep her moving on up the leaderboard.Bend 15, lovely, dead
0:08:15 > 0:08:20centre, slightly high on the entrance, to 16. She is confirmed as
0:08:20 > 0:08:26fourth at the very worst. Laura Deas has done all she can. Will it be
0:08:26 > 0:08:36enough though? 51.9. I'm not sure, would have much preferred 51.8.She
0:08:36 > 0:08:39was slowly losing time the further she got down the track towards the
0:08:39 > 0:08:43bottom. She had an incredible start, but I think you could see she wasn't
0:08:43 > 0:08:48quite as relaxed as she was on her previous run. She knows so badly she
0:08:48 > 0:08:52wants to move up. Just there, that's what probably did it. She didn't
0:08:52 > 0:08:58have the perfect line that she had on the run before. However, she then
0:08:58 > 0:09:03did perfect her steer and didn't click. She has moved on up, she's
0:09:03 > 0:09:09there, still in the in standing in the first place.Look how close Tina
0:09:09 > 0:09:14Hermann got to her, but Laura Deas confirmed fourth. Can it get any
0:09:14 > 0:09:17better for her? Jacqueline Lolling, two years of complete excellence.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22She admitted to nerves that the very start of the competition and they
0:09:22 > 0:09:30have shown. Jacqueline Lolling has got two 52 seconds runs to her name.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34If she does that here, she's in trouble, we wish her well because
0:09:34 > 0:09:39she's had a it isn't two years, really the world's best. How is it
0:09:39 > 0:09:43looking to you?The deficit is from the start because Laura started so
0:09:43 > 0:09:46much quicker, but she is making little mistakes here. Is this going
0:09:46 > 0:09:54to be the run that these Laura Deas move up a medal? That big skid could
0:09:54 > 0:09:57be the mistake that will give Laura Deas what she needs to move up.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00She's still building speed. I don't know how as she comes down to the
0:10:00 > 0:10:06bottom of the track.Down to a tenth second last curve, she's wide on it,
0:10:06 > 0:10:10nothing between Jacqueline Lolling and Laura Deas. Jacqueline Lolling
0:10:10 > 0:10:14just touches Laura Deas out, she does what she does all of the time
0:10:14 > 0:10:19and that's fine speed very, very late. She's got amazing credentials.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24Jacqueline Lolling guaranteed a medal.The Germans are just so good
0:10:24 > 0:10:29at this. They are not the best starters in the world and yet they
0:10:29 > 0:10:32build speed with every single corner, down every single track in
0:10:32 > 0:10:41the world.Lizzy Yarnold next. The Olympic champion. Can she make
0:10:41 > 0:10:45history and win it again? First things first, before Janine Flock
0:10:45 > 0:10:51goes, Yarnold has got to stay ahead of Jacqueline Lolling. How was she
0:10:51 > 0:10:55done it?She started well, she needs to focus on her against the track.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59Don't worry about the German all the Austrian, she needs to put in a
0:10:59 > 0:11:02perfect run. She cannot make a mistake at all on this run.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Everything is looking good so far. The lines are good, she has good
0:11:06 > 0:11:10control. She's starting to build speed, corn eight, drops away into
0:11:10 > 0:11:21nine. This is crucial. She's got the little took, but look at the gap.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25She's got half a second. Is this the run that's going to give her her
0:11:25 > 0:11:27second gold medal and defend her as Olympic champion?Just bend 15 to
0:11:27 > 0:11:31negotiate. She had a big lead over Jacqueline Lolling. This could be at
0:11:31 > 0:11:37least silver for Lizzy Yarnold. She goes to the front and how! Look at a
0:11:37 > 0:11:44time! 51.46, deploy all the -- to pile the pressure on Janine Flock.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49That's a gold medal winning run, I'm sure of it. We're looking at the two
0:11:49 > 0:11:53time Olympic champion.Janine Flock to come, what pressure is now on the
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Austrian. Lizzy Yarnold, a sensational final run. She knows it
0:11:57 > 0:12:02as well.She does know it. That was a track record. That was
0:12:02 > 0:12:08unbelievable. Yes, she made the mistake there, but she had so much
0:12:08 > 0:12:13time in her back to be able to play with. Janine Flock is going to be up
0:12:13 > 0:12:16there in the changing room, it is silent in the changing room. She's
0:12:16 > 0:12:20the only one there and she now knows this run has to be the run of her
0:12:20 > 0:12:24life to be able to take over the lead, but I'm not sure she can do
0:12:24 > 0:12:27it. I really do believe there that Lizzy Yarnold has just put down
0:12:27 > 0:12:31potentially a gold medal run. Come on Janine, hold it together, you've
0:12:31 > 0:12:37got a good push and she can do this. Mentally she needs to focus now.For
0:12:37 > 0:12:42Austria, who have never won a medal. Janine Flock, former world number
0:12:42 > 0:12:47one, needs the run of her 28 years to tip out Lizzy Yarnold. It looks a
0:12:47 > 0:12:54big ask. She's got a decent enough start though, 5.2 to.That's not
0:12:54 > 0:12:58going to be enough. She's made a mistake, it will drop away. This is
0:12:58 > 0:13:05how good Lizzy's run was, she's made one mistake and she's already
0:13:05 > 0:13:10behind. Can she build up as she comes down the run? This is not bad,
0:13:10 > 0:13:16staying in front of -- this is not about her staying in front of Lizzy.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20It is she going to drop behind the silver or the bronze? This run is
0:13:20 > 0:13:28good it's looking like she will hold onto a bronze medal position --
0:13:28 > 0:13:37Deas' run is good.Where Ruiz Flock going to finish? She goes Forth!
0:13:37 > 0:13:46Lizzy Yarnold wins gold again! Laura Deas has won bronze as well. What a
0:13:46 > 0:13:49performance from Lizzy Yarnold, the first British athlete to
0:13:49 > 0:13:53successfully defend her Olympic title and four Laura Deas, who
0:13:53 > 0:13:58dreams of medals at Badminton and Burley, she's now got one at the
0:13:58 > 0:14:03Olympic Games! Janine Flock, crestfallen. You've got to feel for
0:14:03 > 0:14:08her, but Lizzy Yarnold has done it again and a great day for Great
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Britain at the Winter Olympics!
0:14:15 > 0:14:22How are you feeling to back up the medal in Sochi with another one
0:14:22 > 0:14:26here?I'm exhausted. Yesterday, after the first run, I almost pulled
0:14:26 > 0:14:30out of the competition because my chest infection was so uncomfortable
0:14:30 > 0:14:34and I couldn't breathe. So my physio, Louis, she gave me to a
0:14:34 > 0:14:39talking to and said, you can do it and if it wasn't for every single
0:14:39 > 0:14:42one of the team, my coach, Eric, I wouldn't be here right now so I'm
0:14:42 > 0:14:47hugely grateful to them.Deep breath. Olympic bronze medallist, an
0:14:47 > 0:14:51amazing achievement at your first Games. Honestly can't believe it's
0:14:51 > 0:14:57happening. It's like a dream. I. I knew I could do it and then... I
0:14:57 > 0:15:00thought it was going to be snatched away at the last minute and then
0:15:00 > 0:15:04when Janine came down behind me I just couldn't believe it was
0:15:04 > 0:15:08happening. I'm so pleased for Lizzy, it's a dream come true, honestly.
0:15:08 > 0:15:15What else have you got left to do in this sport?I don't know! I just
0:15:15 > 0:15:21want to take a nap!
0:15:22 > 0:15:30When she wakes up from that naps... A second gold for Lizzy Yarnold and
0:15:30 > 0:15:33watching it back, even though we knew the result, it is still
0:15:33 > 0:15:36exciting, so emotional. And Alex come you predicted the most exciting
0:15:36 > 0:15:41skeleton competition ever and it was.You couldn't write it, if he
0:15:41 > 0:15:45wanted to write a drama, it had everything, you had agony and
0:15:45 > 0:15:49ecstasy. The Olympics is all about the unexpected and this is exactly
0:15:49 > 0:15:53what we had here, the people we thought had chances, where were
0:15:53 > 0:15:57they? They weren't there. No one really thought Lizzy Yarnold could
0:15:57 > 0:16:01do it, the season she has had has been pretty bad but it came out
0:16:01 > 0:16:06there and showed that on the day, she is so tough and it's just
0:16:06 > 0:16:09incredible.I think that is why because she is not normally this
0:16:09 > 0:16:14country does not normally go for it like this.She's a bright as.She
0:16:14 > 0:16:16not like Chemmy
0:16:16 > 0:16:17like this.She's a bright as.She not like Chemmy, here, but she was
0:16:17 > 0:16:20so amazed she managed to do it and to have Laura Deas with her on the
0:16:20 > 0:16:26podium, they are great friends. Laura, we saw her yesterday, she was
0:16:26 > 0:16:30fourth, just out of the medals but we knew she was so consistent on the
0:16:30 > 0:16:35track and had the second fastest time all day which is really good
0:16:35 > 0:16:39going into other raises and she held it together, she did not let the
0:16:39 > 0:16:45situation overwhelm her. Two medallists, it is just phenomenal.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Let's concentrate on Lizzy because the final run was a drag record. --
0:16:49 > 0:16:53track record.
0:16:53 > 0:16:59She did not hang around the start, she was great.She knows she is in
0:16:59 > 0:17:02second but only by two hundredths of a second and this track is make or
0:17:02 > 0:17:07break as we have seen, you've got to lay down your run, be calm, stick to
0:17:07 > 0:17:12your lines.Visits our line compared to Janine Flock.Janine Flock on her
0:17:12 > 0:17:18last run, her lines were not great and Lizzy's lines, she took all of
0:17:18 > 0:17:21the training and all the race runs to finally work it out and when it
0:17:21 > 0:17:26counted, she produced her best run. Much as she deserves to have
0:17:26 > 0:17:30defended her title and all the hard work she has put in, I know you are
0:17:30 > 0:17:33particularly pleased and proud of Laura Deas because all the way
0:17:33 > 0:17:37through, you have said she drove the course better than anyone.It is
0:17:37 > 0:17:40always nice to see someone who has done really well in training and has
0:17:40 > 0:17:43been really consistent actually win something because sometimes it does
0:17:43 > 0:17:49not happen. She came down exactly the same as Dom Parsons, in fourth,
0:17:49 > 0:17:53she thought she had lost it but two minutes later, she realises she is
0:17:53 > 0:17:57on the podium and we can see her, here, she does not know what to do
0:17:57 > 0:18:00with herself, she never thought this would happen. She obviously really
0:18:00 > 0:18:04hoped it would but this is the limericks, who knows what will
0:18:04 > 0:18:07happen?What you learned from all of that is how to soak up pressure but
0:18:07 > 0:18:11you learn a lot about the success skeleton and you at the list of
0:18:11 > 0:18:21medallists in recent years and that is hugely impressive and I have to
0:18:21 > 0:18:24credit you, Alex, because you started this in the 21st-century,
0:18:24 > 0:18:30you began again this desire for success and we could do it even
0:18:30 > 0:18:35though we have not got a drag.When I was competing, people looked at
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Britain and they dismissed us, the Americans, the Canadians, the
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Germans with par tracks, the Austrians and French got a drag and
0:18:42 > 0:18:45they would look at us and say they don't need to worry about them
0:18:45 > 0:18:48because they don't have a track but it shows that Britain, even though
0:18:48 > 0:18:54we are not a winter sport country, if we can put the right training,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57equipment and support staff and find the right people a look at what we
0:18:57 > 0:19:01can achieve.And look at how many people were watching and enjoying
0:19:01 > 0:19:04it.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Until today, there had only been ten gold medals
0:19:06 > 0:19:08at the Winter Olympics for Great Britain.
0:19:08 > 0:19:14Make that 11 and for the first time, repeat the same name twice.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18The British ice hockey dream in stripes has been covering itself in
0:19:18 > 0:19:25glory at the Olympic contest.This is a really good first run by the

0:19:29 > 0:19:39put a foot wrong.Cousins, the gold medallist of 1980.The people are
0:19:39 > 0:19:48standing and applauding.It is Olympic gold for Great Britain!Amy
0:19:48 > 0:19:54Williams is the queen of speed! Lizzy Yarnold is the Olympic

0:20:01 > 0:20:02first British athlete to successfully defend her Olympic
0:20:02 > 0:20:08title!It means that at the last three Olympics, Great Britain is
0:20:08 > 0:20:10unbeaten in the skeleton.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14She's the best female short track speed skater in the world,
0:20:14 > 0:20:16but Elise Christie's Olympic journey has been a tale of tears.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Disqualified in all three of her events four years ago
0:20:19 > 0:20:22in Sochi, and then crashing out of the 500m here on Tuesday.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Today was the 1500 metres, the distance at which she became
0:20:24 > 0:20:25world champion a year ago.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Short track can be the cruellest of sports.
0:20:27 > 0:20:35Could Elise finally bury those demons?
0:20:46 > 0:20:52Oh, they've gone down!And again, turmoil for Christie!Oh, I can't
0:20:52 > 0:20:57believe it, Christie has been penalised again.Elise Christie does
0:20:57 > 0:21:04get the chance to race the gold. A nation holds its breath. Christie
0:21:04 > 0:21:09tries to make it on the inside, Christie crashes out! Christie is
0:21:09 > 0:21:11out of it once again!
0:21:19 > 0:21:23A big night short track racing ahead, not least in this women's
0:21:23 > 0:21:281500 metres, the heat is about to start. -- heats. Elise Christie back
0:21:28 > 0:21:32on the ice for the first time since the 500 metres final the other day,
0:21:32 > 0:21:36quick run through of the runners and riders, we have got Tifany Huot
0:21:36 > 0:21:42Marchand from France, Mame Barney from the United States, the
0:21:42 > 0:21:4718-year-old, and Zhou Yang from China, currently in second position,
0:21:47 > 0:21:51number 137 but Zhou Yang is the two time and defending Olympic champion
0:21:51 > 0:21:55at this distance, Bianca Walter from Germany, and Valerie Maltais from
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Canada who finished sixth in Sochi in this particular distance. A
0:21:59 > 0:22:04reminder it is a 13.5 lap race so Elise Christie, there, just tucked
0:22:04 > 0:22:10in in third place.Again, the skaters jostling for position,
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Valerie Maltais in the lead, Elise Christie in third, with still ten
0:22:14 > 0:22:20laps remaining, so nothing really to worry about now as Biney of America
0:22:20 > 0:22:26moves around the outside.A reminder that three of the six will go
0:22:26 > 0:22:29through, Biney gliding around into first place, being followed now by
0:22:29 > 0:22:34the much more experienced figure of Valerie Maltais, and Olympic silver
0:22:34 > 0:22:40medallist in the relay four years ago. Zhou Yang is third and in fifth
0:22:40 > 0:22:45place at the moment, Elise Christie, biding her time, Zhou Yang moves the
0:22:45 > 0:22:50outside. Bianca Walter from Germany tries to follow her up into second
0:22:50 > 0:22:53place at the moment, behind the defending Olympic champion. Christie
0:22:53 > 0:22:58is still back in fifth.Obviously she feels very comfortable at the
0:22:58 > 0:23:05speed at the moment. Six laps to go. One, two and three will qualify so
0:23:05 > 0:23:09she really needs to start thinking about making a move. You can see the
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Canadian also having a thought as well, moving through on the outside.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Now they are starting to wind it up with five to go, Zhou Yang on the
0:23:17 > 0:23:22front and Bianca Walter skating here. Valerie Maltais in third
0:23:22 > 0:23:25place, Maame Biney Borth, Chris Davis, trying to go on the inside of
0:23:25 > 0:23:30Maame Biney now, a bit of a gap back to them from the front three, Zhou
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Yang staying out of trouble, the Olympic champion on the front.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Valerie Maltais in second place, then Walter and now Christie starts
0:23:37 > 0:23:41to show some of her speed that we know she has got in her legs.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Christie around the outside, draws up level with the Olympic champion
0:23:45 > 0:23:50from China, and Elise Christie swooping around at the bell, into
0:23:50 > 0:23:54first place. Much more like it from the world champion. Elise Christie
0:23:54 > 0:23:59now can ease off a little bit. She knows she is going through. That was
0:23:59 > 0:24:02a tremendous return to the ice after what happened the other day, safely
0:24:02 > 0:24:07through to the semifinal, Elise Christie of Great Britain.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Here we go, Elise Christie needs to finish in the first two to get into
0:24:28 > 0:24:35the Olympic final.The question is, what will she do? Wilshere that the
0:24:35 > 0:24:39same tactics as he did in the first round? Not doing very much, leaving
0:24:39 > 0:24:43it for a final burst of speed at the end? I'm fairly convinced, looking
0:24:43 > 0:24:46up the field, there's no real specialist 1500 metres skaters in
0:24:46 > 0:24:52the race -- looking at. That is probably the tactics, the race plan,
0:24:52 > 0:24:57what she will adapt to. Choi Minjeong sat comfortably behind
0:24:57 > 0:25:02Christie in fifth place, Christie in fourth, with China one and two.In
0:25:02 > 0:25:08the first race of the day, Christie was confident enough in her speed to
0:25:08 > 0:25:12bide her time early on in the laps which is what she has done initially
0:25:12 > 0:25:16year, just moving up a little bit now, moving in front of Valerie
0:25:16 > 0:25:22Maltais into second place, we have Li Jinyu and Chu-Young of China at
0:25:22 > 0:25:26the front at the moment with Christie in third. She has got to
0:25:26 > 0:25:31finish in the first two, here. Just moving into second place behind Li
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Jinyu, the world bronze medallist in the junior championship last year.
0:25:34 > 0:25:41Type up the front, not much room, the two Chinese athletes dominating.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46-- tight at the front. Seven to go. Christie skating Neisse lines going
0:25:46 > 0:25:52into the turn, not going into tight and not getting squeezed on the
0:25:52 > 0:25:56first block, that happened in the 500 and she is still looking very
0:25:56 > 0:26:00comfortable indeed, as Valerie Maltais tries to attack around the
0:26:00 > 0:26:02outside.Valerie Maltais moving round the outside and suddenly
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Christie looking a bit boxed in as Valerie Maltais making her move, so
0:26:06 > 0:26:10she leaves from Zhou Yang and Li Jinyu and Christie now with four
0:26:10 > 0:26:16laps to go. At the front, Valerie Maltais, sixth in Sochi in 2014, got
0:26:16 > 0:26:21a bit of a gap, she's going for a longer one. Zhou Yang is there and
0:26:21 > 0:26:26Christie has work to do now. Choi Minjeong comes around the outside,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29towards the front. Christie comes through the inside. Good move from
0:26:29 > 0:26:34her, two laps to go, Christie and join it and neck in second, Christie
0:26:34 > 0:26:38a bit patient, then, she does not want to crash. Now the race is on as
0:26:38 > 0:26:42they take the Bell, Christie in third place, Choi Minjeong leads the
0:26:42 > 0:26:45way and it is between Zhou Yang and Christie now as they come round the
0:26:45 > 0:26:49final bend and they both crash! Christie has crashed again now in
0:26:49 > 0:26:54the semifinal, right on the final bend, yet again, she ends up in a
0:26:54 > 0:26:59distraught heap on the floor, she was almost there, she was almost
0:26:59 > 0:27:07about to qualify, she could see the line in front of her and once more,
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Elise Christie, this time, tangling with one of the Chinese athletes,
0:27:09 > 0:27:15ends up on the deck against the padding at the side of the track.
0:27:15 > 0:27:22Choi Minjeong qualifies first, Petra Jaszapati of hungry in second place.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Zhou Yang, the defending Olympic champion was third. Valerie Maltais
0:27:26 > 0:27:31was fourth, Li Jinyu this and unfortunately and sadly from a
0:27:31 > 0:27:36British perspective, Elise Christie is on the ground and has crossed the
0:27:36 > 0:27:41line.We know she has been taken to hospital and has gone for a scan, on
0:27:41 > 0:27:46what, we don't know. From where you were sitting, how did it look?
0:27:46 > 0:27:47what, we don't know. From where you were sitting, how did it look?The
0:27:47 > 0:27:50penalty was right but she gave it our best shot. I was quite concerned
0:27:50 > 0:27:54with whether or not she would have had a cut on her right ankle, on the
0:27:54 > 0:27:59inside of the right ankle. Whether it is broken or whether she is cut,
0:27:59 > 0:28:04we will have to wait and see.She went to hospital and had an x-ray
0:28:04 > 0:28:10and she is fine, there is no
0:28:10 > 0:28:12and she is fine, there is no bone hurting so she said. Does she think
0:28:12 > 0:28:17she will race on Tuesday. Hopefully, we will see.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22And incredibly distressing day and you watched it all unfold. The good
0:28:22 > 0:28:25news is Elise Christie is all right, no bones broken, clean x-rays but
0:28:25 > 0:28:30the damage to her confidence, the damage to her dreams at everything,
0:28:30 > 0:28:34really, is extreme.Yes, it is going to be tough for her to turn around,
0:28:34 > 0:28:38the way it has unfolded for her so far. Obviously, she does not have
0:28:38 > 0:28:42any broken bones and hopefully her ankle is OK because there can be
0:28:42 > 0:28:46other problems there but fingers crossed. You don't get stretchered
0:28:46 > 0:28:52off for nothing but she has got a medical team and they will all be
0:28:52 > 0:28:55running around to make sure they get her fit for Tuesday.Hugely
0:28:55 > 0:28:58upsetting for you to see this and for Elise
0:28:58 > 0:29:00upsetting for you to see this and for Elise, who had pinned so much on
0:29:00 > 0:29:04getting the Olympics right this time around.I think what you are seeing
0:29:04 > 0:29:09is a mixture of her being in pain and hurting herself but also, just
0:29:09 > 0:29:12the utter devastation. You can see it flashed before your eyes very
0:29:12 > 0:29:17quickly and you just see yourself losing it.She was within sight of
0:29:17 > 0:29:21the finish line, this is the very last bend.The very last corner and
0:29:21 > 0:29:25it is super quick and she's just coming out of the corner, very close
0:29:25 > 0:29:29to the barrier. She fell and hit the pads with her feet which is quite a
0:29:29 > 0:29:32dangerous way to full and she did not have enough time to turn around
0:29:32 > 0:29:36and take a body impact so she went in the first, which to hold your
0:29:36 > 0:29:41ankle strong is quite difficult. From a tactical point of view, what
0:29:41 > 0:29:45did you do want to get herself in that position?The race was pretty
0:29:45 > 0:29:50good, she was in good position the whole race, maybe a bit too relaxed.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54I don't want to speak out of turn but she did not quite seem up for it
0:29:54 > 0:30:00enough. She was very confident and may be trying to hold a bit back,
0:30:00 > 0:30:04just expecting kick to get through to the final because on paper, she
0:30:04 > 0:30:06definitely should but she left herself a lot to do in the last lap.
0:30:06 > 0:30:11As it happened, Choi Minjeong went ahead and won the final pretty
0:30:11 > 0:30:18impressively and actually, Li Jinyu who had been involved in the crash
0:30:18 > 0:30:22took the medal so it was a hot semifinal. Desperately disappointing
0:30:22 > 0:30:25and we hope she will recover but to be honest, it would not be the
0:30:25 > 0:30:29biggest shock if she is not able to skate on Tuesday but we will find
0:30:29 > 0:30:33out nearer the time.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Some sports are firmly in the science department and others
0:30:35 > 0:30:36are way more about art.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Ski slopestyle is in the arty bag.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41It's about perforamance and pizazz and this is only the second time
0:30:41 > 0:30:43it's been included in the Olympics, but in Katie Summerhayes
0:30:43 > 0:30:46and Izzy Atkin, Britain had two chances at a medal on skis -
0:30:46 > 0:30:49a rare thing indeed.
0:30:53 > 0:31:00Take a pinch of attitude, a slice of style, a large portion of air, with
0:31:00 > 0:31:08a handful of ski. Give it all a whirl in the mix around there you
0:31:08 > 0:31:14have it, the Atkins diet. Izzy has been regularly dining out on the
0:31:14 > 0:31:17podium, taking a silver at the X Games last month. Katie Summerhayes
0:31:17 > 0:31:22is about to drop in. We've got a great crew of British supporters
0:31:22 > 0:31:27here today for both the goals. Before we get too excited, they have
0:31:27 > 0:31:35to qualify through to that final. Izzy 's first run didn't go
0:31:35 > 0:31:39according to plan but she dished up a superb second helping which saw
0:31:39 > 0:31:42her qualify in fourth place. Katie has been struggling with an ankle
0:31:42 > 0:31:46injury but her runs have all the ingredients to make the finals. She
0:31:46 > 0:31:52was incredibly smooth on the rail section and made it through in tenth
0:31:52 > 0:31:56position. Qualifying also served up a surprise, as the reigning Olympic
0:31:56 > 0:32:04champion, Dara Howell, was unable to secure a spot on the menu for the
0:32:04 > 0:32:09final. Yes, happy? Because that was a bit stressful.Yeah, I was.And
0:32:09 > 0:32:15you, both of you through.The format was very simple, three runs, the
0:32:15 > 0:32:21best run will count. Fifth place qualifier Matilda Rowe. Really nice.
0:32:21 > 0:32:31Still very technical. Beautiful.A silky 900.It was, very smooth.
0:32:31 > 0:32:41First of the double corks. There it is. I don't think it will be any
0:32:41 > 0:32:46surprise to see her move into the -- Dizzy Mathilde Gremaud oh move into
0:32:46 > 0:32:54the top spot.Sarah Hoefflin put down a strong run and was sitting in
0:32:54 > 0:32:59silver medal position after one run. Katie and Izzy both landed their
0:32:59 > 0:33:05runs but had room for improvement going into run two.Katie
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Summerhayes, Sheffield steel, she's been told by the GB physio it may
0:33:08 > 0:33:13not be in her best interests to ride. Her ankle is giving her a lot
0:33:13 > 0:33:26of pain. And there is the hundred and 50 out, that's nice.Beautiful.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30Really solid rails from Summerhayes. She's got that slide really nicely,
0:33:30 > 0:33:38she's locked those two together. And a big 900. She punches that air.
0:33:38 > 0:33:43Come on, Katie Summerhayes!
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Come on, Katie Summerhayes! 71.4. Yeah, a little nod overhead there.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51It pushes her rent to fourth position. Next to drop, Isabel
0:33:51 > 0:33:58Atkin.
0:33:58 > 0:34:03Atkin. Lovely 450 off.Really nice. The seven, landed much cleaner than
0:34:03 > 0:34:08last time.Yeah, the judges looking for spins in different directions.
0:34:08 > 0:34:17The nine is clean.Left side, right side spins, now switch. 900 on the
0:34:17 > 0:34:26bottom job.It's very, very tidy. 79.4. Izzy Atkin moves into the
0:34:26 > 0:34:31third and final runs in bronze medal position.At the end of the second
0:34:31 > 0:34:35runs none of the latest skiers had bettered Izzy's score and she
0:34:35 > 0:34:42remained in third. Sarah Hoefflin was in second position and Mathilde
0:34:42 > 0:34:47Gremaud oh in first.He's looked this good on the rails every single
0:34:47 > 0:34:54time but it's the last jump that has eluded her. The focus and the
0:34:54 > 0:35:01pressure boils down to the kickers. Lovely nine on the first hit.Really
0:35:01 > 0:35:07nice.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12nice.She's got that one.Yeah.Can she hold it together when it
0:35:12 > 0:35:24matters? She's gone big. She can, and very, very clean run. 82. --
0:35:24 > 0:35:3681.2. She bumps Izzy Atkin down to fourth. Sarah Hoefflin has the style
0:35:36 > 0:35:40and technicality to take the top spot. Very tidy. Maybe not the
0:35:40 > 0:35:44cleanest rail jumps but there were no mistakes there.
0:35:47 > 0:36:00Lovely style. Lovely style.Big grab, really snatching up the 1080.
0:36:00 > 0:36:07Was it 900? I got a little bit lost. And gets it round!Sarah Hoefflin,
0:36:07 > 0:36:13very, very strong run there.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19very, very strong run there. 91.2, into gold medal position.Katie
0:36:19 > 0:36:23Summerhayes was clearly struggling with an injured ankle and wasn't
0:36:23 > 0:36:28able to improve on her second run. Isabel Atkin, what has she got in
0:36:28 > 0:36:35her run? Pat Sharples, just said you're an absolute boss, your skiing
0:36:35 > 0:36:42amazing.Clean as, that's the advice, just clean this run up. The
0:36:42 > 0:36:48biggest run of her life starts now. Mechanical with the 450. Laid it
0:36:48 > 0:36:56down beautifully. Locks that in so beautifully, because she comes up
0:36:56 > 0:37:02from the side and tilt the skis on to it.Yeah.Oh, and the gap over.
0:37:02 > 0:37:11This money is flowing for her now. Dare I say it, the best rails we've
0:37:11 > 0:37:18seen from her. The 720 years there. Now, come on, Izzy Atkin. 900 is
0:37:18 > 0:37:23their! Final jump.
0:37:24 > 0:37:31I'll! And its super-clean.Bigger and cleaner run from Izzy, that
0:37:31 > 0:37:39might bump her back into the medals. That third-place! 84.6, so with
0:37:39 > 0:37:44three skiers left to drop Izzy Atkin is in bronze medal position.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48Norway's Joanna Killy put down a solid run which pushed Katie into
0:37:48 > 0:37:53seventh position but it didn't score highly enough to trouble Izzy. Just
0:37:53 > 0:38:00two skiers stood between her and a bronze medal.So two skiers left to
0:38:00 > 0:38:04drop. Tyrol fast at Christiansen, currently on a 24 sheet, but very
0:38:04 > 0:38:11clean runs down but hasn't managed to put a last trick down. Can she
0:38:11 > 0:38:18make amends now? The second of the Norwegians.Really high, that rail.
0:38:18 > 0:38:25You don't get a sense of how high it is from that camera angle. A big
0:38:25 > 0:38:31leap on through the kink.Winds up last jump. It's short. Really short.
0:38:31 > 0:38:41Oh! Very difficult to call and Izzy Atkin can't watch.No, she's gone.
0:38:41 > 0:38:48Two scores away from a bronze medal. 60.4, now only one score away from a
0:38:48 > 0:38:52bronze medal with the first place qualifier Emma Dahlstrom yet to
0:38:52 > 0:38:58drop. She looked so relaxed in qualifying but the pressure is
0:38:58 > 0:39:02telling now on the third and final run. She's yet to land a run. Can
0:39:02 > 0:39:07she do it now, when it counts? The fourth hundred and 50 off exactly
0:39:07 > 0:39:16the same as Izzy Atkin. -- the 450 off exactly the same as Izzy Atkin.
0:39:16 > 0:39:27Oh no! She's down. And that, ladies and gentlemen, confirms the medals.
0:39:27 > 0:39:33Great Britain's Izzy Atkin takes a bronze. Mathilde Gremaud Hollande
0:39:33 > 0:39:38Sarah Hoefflin make it a 1-2-macro in silver and for Switzerland.
0:39:38 > 0:39:39Sarah Hoefflin make it a 1-2-macro in silver and for Switzerland.So
0:39:39 > 0:39:44you realise you are the first on skis to have done this.Yeah, that's
0:39:44 > 0:39:48amazing. It definitely hasn't settled in yet, but I'm really proud
0:39:48 > 0:39:57and really happy to be part of Rat Team GB.She's a bit of a
0:39:57 > 0:40:00perfectionist, she tried to put all her tricks as clean as possible. She
0:40:00 > 0:40:06came to the last run, it was perfect.We have Izzy's parents and
0:40:06 > 0:40:11sister withers. Firstly how are you feeling right now?Very happy, very
0:40:11 > 0:40:16happy, and a little bit in shock, but very happy.We weren't quite
0:40:16 > 0:40:20expecting her to medal, frankly. Hoping that it might be possible, so
0:40:20 > 0:40:32obviously were extraordinarily delighted. Slowly,
0:40:38 > 0:40:42slowly sinking in.How is this, to have two girls in the top ten and a
0:40:42 > 0:40:45medal in ski slopestyle, for the first time ever?You know, in lots
0:40:45 > 0:40:48of ways it was something I would have dreamt that wouldn't have --
0:40:48 > 0:40:51that would have been a best case scenario. I was like, no, just keep
0:40:51 > 0:40:54your eye on the ball.How might you celebrate?Karaoke.What's your Song
0:40:54 > 0:40:57of choice?Usually Katy Perry, one of her songs.Massive
0:40:57 > 0:41:03congratulations. High fives that. They are so cool, those slopestyle
0:41:03 > 0:41:07skiers, aren't they?Yeah, definitely.How much will that do
0:41:07 > 0:41:13for the uptake of kids wanting to do tricks in this country?It's huge.
0:41:13 > 0:41:1680% of these freestyle athletes who are dominating came from an
0:41:16 > 0:41:20artificial snow background so they practice on these slopes they have.
0:41:20 > 0:41:26There are six snow domes in them with rails in them and they do
0:41:26 > 0:41:30nights every week so you can try. Extended highlights from about six
0:41:30 > 0:41:35that -- from about 8:30pm. This is the kind of thing you can expect,
0:41:35 > 0:41:39because it doesn't always go to plan. But when the jobs come off
0:41:39 > 0:41:41there are extraordinary and particularly when they going
0:41:41 > 0:41:46backwards to a job, how difficult is that?It's amazing, they are going
0:41:46 > 0:41:49in switch so they have the speed but have to look over their shoulder to
0:41:49 > 0:41:53see where they are going and switch in the yeah but it increases the
0:41:53 > 0:41:58degree of difficulty which is what we want to see.You do have to have
0:41:58 > 0:42:04extreme bounce ability. The bronze meant three medals were one on one
0:42:04 > 0:42:12day in the Winter Olympics for the British team first time ever.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Mr T has been on the line, demanding we show some curling.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24So here's Paddy with the curling cognizance.
0:42:29 > 0:42:34The slow motion tension of the curling arena is growing day by day.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38The semifinals are rolling into view. After a day off the ice at
0:42:38 > 0:42:44tricky day Ford team your head against Denmark. Eve and the gang
0:42:44 > 0:42:50seemed rusty until end six.A nice throw, what we are looking for.The
0:42:50 > 0:42:57key was restricting the Danes to one the end. The chance to score.Eve
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Muirhead looks as though she's done the job there. Taps that one out of
0:43:01 > 0:43:08the house.It finished 7-6 but Korea will be tougher. It was 4-4 going
0:43:08 > 0:43:12into end nine. Eve Muirhead was aiming to take one here, but the
0:43:12 > 0:43:19early frantic sweeping was a bad sign.Wow, wow, wow.That's a big
0:43:19 > 0:43:24disappointment.Two down, want to go, big trouble and the final
0:43:24 > 0:43:30mistake was a popular one in the gang number arena.A poor day at the
0:43:30 > 0:43:36office for the GB team.They played well, we have to regroup and come
0:43:36 > 0:43:40back tomorrow.That left GB joint fourth and with work to do, only the
0:43:40 > 0:43:45top four make the semis. Kyle Smith also facing Korea but the hosts were
0:43:45 > 0:43:52bottom in the men's competition. The time to be scoring, whatever you do,
0:43:52 > 0:43:57don't give your opponents two.Oh, no. It was a tough situation and
0:43:57 > 0:44:02it's becoming incredibly challenging.That mistake was still
0:44:02 > 0:44:05fresh when a team ranked ten places below GB made things really
0:44:05 > 0:44:13embarrassing.Looking very good. Well, that's 34 Korea. I'm not sure
0:44:13 > 0:44:17we'll gone much further here. Britain shook hands and heads off to
0:44:17 > 0:44:21end nine. Kyle Smith and go down insects, so what happened?We
0:44:21 > 0:44:26started out well just a few key misses let the game away from us to
0:44:26 > 0:44:35be honest. Where disappointed.
0:44:44 > 0:44:58It's OK, it's not live.Two, heh. Yes.Cheers.
0:44:59 > 0:45:05That famous line, it is OK, it is not live but it still might get into
0:45:05 > 0:45:1124 and if you pose beings with your baby...I'm a are pushy mum!
0:45:11 > 0:45:14Think of the biggest sporting star in this country and then times
0:45:14 > 0:45:17the adoration and the attention by a hundred, and you get close
0:45:17 > 0:45:20to how much figure skater Yazuru Hanyu is revered in Japan.
0:45:20 > 0:45:21The defending champion set a new Olympic record
0:45:21 > 0:45:22in the short programme.
0:45:22 > 0:45:26Now for the free programme to decide the men's singles.
0:45:26 > 0:45:28Now for the free programme to decide the men's singles.
0:45:28 > 0:45:31The men's final was destined to be one for the history books and the
0:45:31 > 0:45:36arc of this would not be disappointed.After a disastrous
0:45:36 > 0:45:40short programme, America's true king of the quads, Nathan Chen, finally
0:45:40 > 0:45:45came out to play, firing on all cylinders, he delivered an
0:45:45 > 0:45:49unprecedented six quad jumps in a single performance, moving him up
0:45:49 > 0:45:56from 17th placed a bet.History has been made, six quadruple jumps.
0:45:56 > 0:46:03Place to fifth. Vincent Zhou poll of five quads which put him into the
0:46:03 > 0:46:07top six.Five quads, if we had not seen six from Nathan Chen, we would
0:46:07 > 0:46:11be up out of our seats, the brilliance is making us complacent.
0:46:11 > 0:46:18Next up, China's Jin Boyang, who gave a solid if safe performance.
0:46:18 > 0:46:23Triple toe loop and down, completely off kilter on the take-off. Does not
0:46:23 > 0:46:29inspire as an overall performance. Going Galactic, Jin Boyang is
0:46:29 > 0:46:34rocketing into the medals for now. But the best skaters were still to
0:46:34 > 0:46:41come. So do the man with the Golden Belt, 20 Yuzuru Hanyu, bidding to
0:46:41 > 0:46:47become the first skater to retain the Olympic title since 1952. The
0:46:47 > 0:46:55darling of the Japanese super fans, he had history in his gloved hands.
0:46:55 > 0:47:03Second jump is the quadruple Salchow.Lee has got it.
0:47:04 > 0:47:06Salchow.Lee has got it.Exquisite quadruple toe loop.There were
0:47:06 > 0:47:09worries about his ankle injury and a couple of stumbles to free the
0:47:09 > 0:47:15nerves but his lead after the short programme and a total of four quads
0:47:15 > 0:47:21kept him out of reach.He is unearthly, enchant it out on the
0:47:21 > 0:47:26ice!Gold may have been impossible for Fernandez of Spain but he was
0:47:26 > 0:47:31hoping for a first Olympic medal at his final Games.The performance is
0:47:31 > 0:47:37glorious and he is still at home out there and he delivers.Last but by
0:47:37 > 0:47:41no may -- no means least was Yuzuru Hanyu's young team-mate Shoma Uno,
0:47:41 > 0:47:44who had a chance to take a place on the podium and a possible Japanese
0:47:44 > 0:47:51one-two.Down on the first of his quads, the loop.Could that be the
0:47:51 > 0:47:57medal gone?Quadruple toe loop, double toe loop, not the best
0:47:57 > 0:48:05landing on the double.It is a Japanese one-two, and have the
0:48:05 > 0:48:09Fernandez will have to settle for the bronze. -- Javier Fernandez.
0:48:09 > 0:48:16History made.Back-to-back Olympic titles.Figure skating is so
0:48:16 > 0:48:21beautiful and you can see it on BBC Four.
0:48:21 > 0:48:25If you could take up another winter sport now, what would it be?
0:48:25 > 0:48:32I would need to find some friends but ice hockey.Getting lots of cool
0:48:32 > 0:48:39points.Alex the albatross, ski jumping.You would go a long way. We
0:48:39 > 0:48:42have had two ski jumping competitions. One to go at visit it
0:48:42 > 0:48:49is the turn of the men on the large hill think about Alex.
0:48:49 > 0:48:56# Got to fly # You've got to fly. #
0:48:56 > 0:49:01Ski jumping is a sport of great distances and yet tiny margins,
0:49:01 > 0:49:04inches and twitches matter. You score points for how far you jump,
0:49:04 > 0:49:12of course, but also for how you do it, with marks awarded for style. In
0:49:12 > 0:49:15the large hill competition, legend Debbie Lieber, Switzerland's Simon
0:49:15 > 0:49:15the large hill competition, legend Debbie Lieber, Switzerland's Simon
0:49:15 > 0:49:19Ammann never really took off this time. Poland's reigning champion
0:49:19 > 0:49:23Kamil Stoch lead after the first but look out for Robert Johansson. You
0:49:23 > 0:49:28can hardly miss him, after all, he has the whiskers of a flying ace. We
0:49:28 > 0:49:33join him before his second and final jump. Over to Ollie Williams.
0:49:33 > 0:49:38COMMENTATOR: Here it is, the moustache belt around the world,
0:49:38 > 0:49:43Robert Johansson. He says the aerodynamics of fine, it might have
0:49:43 > 0:49:46been planning cheek but it is what is outside the cheek that counts. It
0:49:46 > 0:49:51is long but he's a bit disappointed, he wanted a few more metres. If ever
0:49:51 > 0:49:54anyone looked like they should be flying through the air for a living,
0:49:54 > 0:50:01it is Robert Johansson. He's in first, for now. 275.3. It is enough
0:50:01 > 0:50:08when added to his first-round score by two marks. Here is last week's
0:50:08 > 0:50:16Olympic champion, Andreas Wellinger.
0:50:17 > 0:50:25Oh, it's good! It's good from Andreas Wellinger! 142 metres. Wow!
0:50:25 > 0:50:31He has the normal Hill gold. Surely he is going into the large hill
0:50:31 > 0:50:38lead? He is! 282.3. First place again for Andreas Wellinger. One
0:50:38 > 0:50:47left to jump. The 2014 Olympic champion, Poland's Kamil Stoch.
0:50:47 > 0:50:55Hearts in mouths.
0:50:56 > 0:51:03Oh, it's long again! Will that be enough to deprive Andreas Wellinger
0:51:03 > 0:51:10of the double? 136.5 so it is backed by about five metres from Andreas
0:51:10 > 0:51:15Wellinger's second jump. If he was not wearing gloves one inch thick,
0:51:15 > 0:51:20he would be cheering through his nails. It is gold, gold for Kamil
0:51:20 > 0:51:26Stoch!
0:51:26 > 0:51:30Stoch! 285.7, a three point, four point gap, the judges just love the
0:51:30 > 0:51:38way this man jumps, and Kamil Stoch wins gold again.
0:51:38 > 0:51:42Kamil Stoch lead to the defence of his title, his third Olympic gold,
0:51:42 > 0:51:45Germany's Andreas Wellinger was second and bronze number two at
0:51:45 > 0:51:49these games for that man Robert Johansson.
0:51:51 > 0:51:55The great news for Alex is that ski jumpers go on and on.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57Noriaki Kasai finished 33rd at his eighth Olympics and he's
0:51:57 > 0:52:00still got the team event to come, plus he says he'll keep
0:52:00 > 0:52:01going beyond his 50th birthday.
0:52:01 > 0:52:05I'll nip out and get my skis on. Exactly, you are nowhere near.
0:52:05 > 0:52:06Now to women's super-G.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08After the downhill, this is the fastest Alpine discipline,
0:52:08 > 0:52:11so cue Lindsey Vonn and cue Chemmy.
0:52:13 > 0:52:15Thanks, Clare.
0:52:15 > 0:52:21Well, Lindsey Vonn was first out of the start hut.
0:52:21 > 0:52:21She out of the start hut.
0:52:21 > 0:52:21She was out of the start hut.
0:52:21 > 0:52:23She was flying. out of the start hut.
0:52:23 > 0:52:26Until a huge mistake on the lower part of the course meant her time
0:52:26 > 0:52:29was within reach for the rest of the field.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31That could ruin her chance of a medal.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33Italian Johanna Schnarf came to South Korea in good form
0:52:33 > 0:52:36after a second place in the last super-g before the Games.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38She put down a solid run to take the lead.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41Another favourite for a podium place was Lara Gut.
0:52:41 > 0:52:43The Swiss skier has focused on super-g this season and it showed
0:52:43 > 0:52:46as she took the lead after a smooth run.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48Tina Weirather from Liechtenstein was looking for her
0:52:48 > 0:52:52first Olympic medal.
0:52:52 > 0:52:55She put in a technically sound run to beat her good friend Gut by one
0:52:55 > 0:52:57hundredth of a second and take the lead.
0:52:57 > 0:53:02Reigning Olympic super-g Champion Anna Veith got off
0:53:02 > 0:53:06to a fast start and didn't let up as she looked to defend her title.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09And it looked as though she'd done just that as she edged out Weirather
0:53:09 > 0:53:12by a tenth of a second.
0:53:12 > 0:53:15But late starter and World Champion snowboarder
0:53:15 > 0:53:21Esther Ledecka had other ideas.
0:53:21 > 0:53:24Skiing from bib number 26, and on borrowed skis,
0:53:24 > 0:53:27the Czech put down the run of her life to take the gold by just
0:53:27 > 0:53:30one hundredth of a second to complete one of the biggest
0:53:30 > 0:53:33shocks in Winter Olympic history.
0:53:33 > 0:53:35She's done it!
0:53:35 > 0:53:37It's a result that shocked the skiing world,
0:53:37 > 0:53:39and Ester Ledecka herself!
0:53:39 > 0:53:46You are the winner.No!You are!
0:53:46 > 0:53:47She did not
0:53:47 > 0:53:50She did not believe or think she could win and she did not see the
0:53:50 > 0:53:53scoreboard and she was so unprepared for success that when she turned up
0:53:53 > 0:53:56to the press conference, she was still wearing goggles.She was upset
0:53:56 > 0:54:00the other girls had make-up in the bag because they expected to win and
0:54:00 > 0:54:04he did not have any make up so she wore the goggles. It was not a
0:54:04 > 0:54:07publicity stunt, she just felt self-conscious.Agger was really
0:54:07 > 0:54:13cross she was missing snowboard training.She was like, all the
0:54:13 > 0:54:16media is great but I'm missing three snowboard training runs the next
0:54:16 > 0:54:20week. Two very different skills but she is managing to excel at both
0:54:20 > 0:54:23which we all love and even Lindsey Vonn said it is really tough for her
0:54:23 > 0:54:27because she is only bigoted one thing and she was beaten.I want to
0:54:27 > 0:54:30see her reaction to get because I'm not ever seen a world champion who
0:54:30 > 0:54:41is so nonplussed.No!You won.She was like that for about two minutes,
0:54:41 > 0:54:45going no, it can't have happened. She thought something was wrong with
0:54:45 > 0:54:48a time in the Olympic Games.Nothing is going to be broken!
0:54:48 > 0:54:51Here's Paddy Gearey with the best of the rest from Pyeongchang.
0:54:51 > 0:54:52Here's Paddy Gearey with the best of the rest from Pyeongchang.
0:54:52 > 0:54:56Last lap of the final of the 1000 metres short track speed skating,
0:54:56 > 0:55:02one of those wiped out by cruel chance, Elise Christie's boyfriend,
0:55:02 > 0:55:06Shaolin Sandor Liu, Canadian Samuel Girard stayed clear to win. Always a
0:55:06 > 0:55:10bit of spice when the Russians and Americans play ice hockey, Olympic
0:55:10 > 0:55:12Athletes from Russia are not officially representing their
0:55:12 > 0:55:15nation, of course, but they are officially in the quarterfinals
0:55:15 > 0:55:19after beating the USA 4-0. Few Winter Olympians have been as much
0:55:19 > 0:55:25in six months as Britain's Lloyd Wallace. In August, he was in a coma
0:55:25 > 0:55:28after a skiing accident. Today, he competed in the men's aerials, and
0:55:28 > 0:55:36taking part for him was a remarkable victory. Over to the women's 12.5 K
0:55:36 > 0:55:39mass. Biathlon and from the mass start to the finish, Slovakia's
0:55:39 > 0:55:41Anastasiya Kuzmina was winning, her third middle of the games, but when
0:55:41 > 0:55:46it comes to medals, nobody beats Magic Marit Bjoergen who powered no
0:55:46 > 0:55:50way to go in the five kilometre relay, her third winter in a big
0:55:50 > 0:55:53medal, equalling the record, one more race for her to go, can the
0:55:53 > 0:55:56iron Lady make history?
0:55:56 > 0:56:00After the greatest day in British Winter Olympic history, we are in 16
0:56:00 > 0:56:04spot, just below Belarus with one gold and three bronze medals, all
0:56:04 > 0:56:07the gold medals won by different countries today, none of them by
0:56:07 > 0:56:14Germany but they stay top. Let's go off beast. -- off
0:56:14 > 0:56:20piste. And start with Lizzy Yarnold on Instagram, the double Olympic
0:56:20 > 0:56:23champion, won the Olympics, again. She's all about inspiring little
0:56:23 > 0:56:26girls and it is working, check out this home-made podium with the dog
0:56:26 > 0:56:31and the dolly getting a medal as well. Ice hockey is the choice of
0:56:31 > 0:56:34sport to be Sidebottom house. Something is going to get broken.
0:56:34 > 0:56:38This is Jack and his superheroes in Bobsleigh action. This little girl
0:56:38 > 0:56:42has found new love of housework through curling. From prop
0:56:42 > 0:56:47improvisation, here is Hannah practising the skeleton indoors on
0:56:47 > 0:56:53her car seat. That is really good, clever. Ross taking the skeleton at
0:56:53 > 0:56:59the top of the Kenna Mountain is. This was said to you. We reckon
0:56:59 > 0:57:07Alfie the dog has the speed to get gold. Here he comes!Amazing!These
0:57:07 > 0:57:14boys are enjoying watching. I think it is a great shame... And happy Mac
0:57:14 > 0:57:16team Reynolds prove that speed skating around the kitchen table is
0:57:16 > 0:57:23not any easier than it is on the eyes. Ouch! And what about this four
0:57:23 > 0:57:36double luge training, Beijing 2022? Here they come. Red hot, ice-cold.
0:57:36 > 0:57:38First up men's ski jump.
0:57:38 > 0:57:42As we know, it's a long way down from the top and it's a hard fall.
0:57:42 > 0:57:45Just got to make sure you get up and try again
0:57:45 > 0:57:51like Italian Davide Bresadola.
0:57:51 > 0:57:54No, it's not The Stig.
0:57:54 > 0:57:56It's Latvian Lelde Preiedulena.
0:57:56 > 0:58:02We know it's cold in Korea, but this has got to hurt.
0:58:02 > 0:58:05Next, it's women's slopestyle.
0:58:05 > 0:58:08It's always good to go big,
0:58:08 > 0:58:10but maybe sometimes not too big.
0:58:10 > 0:58:16Everything in moderation.
0:58:16 > 0:58:19And finally, it's always the little things in life that tickle,
0:58:19 > 0:58:26especially our very own Ed Leigh.
0:58:26 > 0:58:36I'm sorry, juniors!We have lost Ed, everyone!-- a genius.She was
0:58:36 > 0:58:38prepared with a forehand with was brilliant.
0:58:38 > 0:58:40prepared with a forehand with was brilliant.
0:58:40 > 0:58:45Look who else was prepared for an Olympic gold medal.I promised that
0:58:45 > 0:58:47if Lizzy Yarnold one gold, I would start the toga party and on
