:00:30. > :00:44.Amy Williams is the queen of speed. Oh, and he is over. The United
:00:45. > :01:20.States have beaten the soviet union. She has done it! That is it. The
:01:21. > :01:31.Winter Olympics. That is beautiful, very nice. What is it? Oh, my
:01:32. > :01:48.goodness! The exhilarating excitement of
:01:49. > :01:55.snowboard slopestyle. More on that soon. Welcome back to the Olympic
:01:56. > :02:00.Park where it is coming up to half past 11 at night. The place is
:02:01. > :02:05.empty, but we have lots in the programme because today's gold
:02:06. > :02:09.medals in men's downhill, in skiathlon, in ski jumping, in
:02:10. > :02:26.slopestyle, and we are going to round it all up for you now. Here is
:02:27. > :02:32.what is coming up. It is the newest sport to the Olympics and is taking
:02:33. > :02:38.the place by storm. Today the women got their turn to snowboard
:02:39. > :02:43.slopestyle. It may be old and traditional, but it is still
:02:44. > :02:48.breathtaking. The men's downhill saw them clocking up speeds of about 80
:02:49. > :02:53.miles an hour. And we will see the first gold is decided at the Sliding
:02:54. > :03:01.Center as the men's luge lunged towards its conclusion. It was all
:03:02. > :03:08.happening at the extreme Park today and the man with the hottest ticket
:03:09. > :03:13.in town was Matthew Pinsent. After the culmination of the men's
:03:14. > :03:17.slopestyle event yesterday with two British finalists, Team GB has
:03:18. > :03:25.double interest today, Aimee Fuller and Jenny Jones take on the world
:03:26. > :03:38.and this fearsome chorus. Oh, beautiful. Aimee Fuller went big but
:03:39. > :03:46.just came up short. What a start to her career. It is a great
:03:47. > :03:52.experience, it is the first time I have competed in the Olympics, so a
:03:53. > :03:55.building block for the next one. Jenny Jones showed her experience to
:03:56. > :04:00.get through to the final, but she did not know her parents were
:04:01. > :04:09.marching. She is doing really well and we know she has got a lot in
:04:10. > :04:13.her. So the veteran Jenny Jones into the Olympic final. Can she unleash
:04:14. > :04:31.something to open the Team GB account? Nice and solid. Absolutely
:04:32. > :04:40.massive. Oh, she almost goes down. It is like the wacky races. After
:04:41. > :04:45.all the slip ups it was time to get serious for the final runs. Aimee
:04:46. > :04:50.Fuller raced up to join them in the commentary box.
:04:51. > :05:02.I cannot look, somebody else commentate. Jenny's experience will
:05:03. > :05:12.come to the fore. She has been in high-pressure situations. Nice and
:05:13. > :05:17.solid on the first rail. A beautiful run on the down rail. Talk about
:05:18. > :05:28.confidence as well. Doing little tricks. Coming in switch to the
:05:29. > :05:36.first grant dashed jumper. Looking very solid for Jenny Jones. Is she
:05:37. > :05:48.going for the front nine? She went for the Severn. Solid, solid. That
:05:49. > :05:54.run was laid down very cleanly. Go on, Jones. Look at the smile on her
:05:55. > :06:02.face. I am so happy to see how put that down. That rail W. Everything
:06:03. > :06:10.was really clean. She is bearing the judges to mark her down. Check on
:06:11. > :06:21.the ground. An absolute machine. Our girl, Jones, holding it down. It was
:06:22. > :06:34.such a good run. She has done that. Look at the Brits. Put the entire UK
:06:35. > :06:54.out of their misery, judges. Jenny Jones! Oh, my God! Right now, Jenny
:06:55. > :07:02.Jones is in gold medal position. She has just got 87. Let's be realistic
:07:03. > :07:08.about this, there are a lot of women here who are a serious threat to
:07:09. > :07:40.that gold medal position. This is one of them. . Go big. Oh, my
:07:41. > :07:48.goodness. She did not even realise she did that. I need to chill out a
:07:49. > :07:54.bit. This is insane. Jenny Jones may have only occupied the gold medal
:07:55. > :08:01.slot for one run. There are so many riders who are looking to land big
:08:02. > :08:10.runs. She has come up with an absolute banger. 87, it is only good
:08:11. > :08:20.enough for silver. Jenny Jones still has a gold medal position.
:08:21. > :08:31.Enni Rukajarvi. A little bit of a wobble on the way in. Coming in
:08:32. > :08:43.switch to the last kick. This is a very big run. That was spectacular.
:08:44. > :08:49.That was spectacular. You have got to say that it's first place. She is
:08:50. > :09:02.certainly capable of it. Looking to better Jenny Jones. Enni Rukajarvi
:09:03. > :09:18.moves into the gold medal position. Jenny Jones is in silver. This girl
:09:19. > :09:28.has a lot of work to do. She is going switch now. That is unreal, it
:09:29. > :09:36.is so technical. It is brilliant. It is a trademark of her right. Oh, she
:09:37. > :09:44.sat down. She did the same as she did in her first run. Enni Rukajarvi
:09:45. > :09:57.and Jenny Jones make it through to another sudden death run. It is not
:09:58. > :10:02.going to be a medal. Nerves are running very high here. This is a
:10:03. > :10:09.huge moment in Jamie Anderson's career. A lot of speed needed to
:10:10. > :10:27.clear this and then it is simply straight. That is massive. It all
:10:28. > :10:36.comes down to this. To be fair that was a belter of a run. An emphatic
:10:37. > :10:41.scorer from the judges. It takes Jamie Anderson into gold and Enni
:10:42. > :10:49.Rukajarvi is bumped down into second. Right now Jenny Jones sits
:10:50. > :11:02.in the bronze medal position. The Austrian. A nice rail section. She
:11:03. > :11:17.is so fluid through these jumps. A cab under flip. She is keeping it
:11:18. > :11:33.safe. Oh, she is down. Are we supposed to do that? Probably not.
:11:34. > :11:40.You are a Briton's first Olympic medallist on snow. Oh, my God, oh,
:11:41. > :11:48.my God. It feels amazing, I cannot believe it. What would you say to
:11:49. > :11:53.your mum and dad? I know they are here somewhere, so I am going to
:11:54. > :12:09.find them. Not somewhere, we found them for you.
:12:10. > :12:27.You did it. You never ever disappointed us. Are you laughing at
:12:28. > :12:32.my mum and dad? It is brilliant. My mum is very northern. A wonderful
:12:33. > :12:43.moment. Here is the bronze medal and the
:12:44. > :12:51.woman holding it, Jenny Jones. I have not seen a medal, it is
:12:52. > :13:00.amazing. It is very heavy and it is around my neck. Your parents'
:13:01. > :13:08.reaction sums up what everybody feels and how hard you work. I held
:13:09. > :13:13.back the tears until they popped up. Are you superstitious about them
:13:14. > :13:19.watching you? Ever since I was a little girl I never wanted to see
:13:20. > :13:25.them, even in gymnastics. I wanted to be there, but I did not want to
:13:26. > :13:32.see them. Until afterwards. We watched the medal ceremony and your
:13:33. > :13:35.parents were watching. What was that moment like? Unbelievable and it
:13:36. > :13:42.really hit home when the British flag came out. I was like, oh, my
:13:43. > :13:47.goodness, this is it and I have done it for Great Britain. All the X
:13:48. > :13:53.Games that you have done before and you have been successful, was this
:13:54. > :13:58.different? It is completely different and it was that feeling of
:13:59. > :14:04.doing something for your country. It seems weird to say it, but I am very
:14:05. > :14:12.proud. You thank your supporters at home and you have got your
:14:13. > :14:18.supporters here as well. Sam up what this moment is and how much of an
:14:19. > :14:22.achievement it is. I got in touch with a lot of the snowboard
:14:23. > :14:28.community and there were tears all around. Everyone knows how hard she
:14:29. > :14:32.has worked for this and everybody knows how good she is. At the risk
:14:33. > :14:38.of repeating myself these games have come so late for her discipline but
:14:39. > :14:45.to have worked so hard and pushed it so hard and to have taken a medal at
:14:46. > :14:52.this stage is phenomenal. You have laid the foundation for those to
:14:53. > :14:58.come in the future. She calls you Jones. How excited are you? I still
:14:59. > :15:04.cannot believe it, I am lost for words. I am so proud of her and it
:15:05. > :15:10.is so good for snow sports in the UK. It is unbelievable. Go on, the
:15:11. > :15:18.Jones. Slopestyle in its first Olympic games just bloomed, it
:15:19. > :15:24.arrived. It is brilliant and we can train in the UK. We can do it on dry
:15:25. > :15:30.slopes and in indoor centres. I have to say these two in the commentary,
:15:31. > :15:36.there were tears and screaming, it was all over the place, but it was
:15:37. > :15:42.absolutely brilliant. It was wild to be a part of that. Let's look at a
:15:43. > :15:46.few of the moments that won you the bronze medal. When you got the
:15:47. > :15:54.technical staff at the top, did you know it was going to be good? Know
:15:55. > :15:59.because you have to look at one feature at a time and I had to make
:16:00. > :16:04.it feel and look as nice as possible because that was the difference it
:16:05. > :16:09.was taking. I grabbed as long as I could. I landed with no hands down
:16:10. > :16:15.and that was just enough to keep me there. Do you know the tricks you
:16:16. > :16:21.are going to do before you start, or do you change things depending on
:16:22. > :16:26.how you meet the kicker? No, I decide at the very top, but at the
:16:27. > :16:30.very top there was a big deliberation between what run I
:16:31. > :16:35.should do with my coach, but we made the right decision. For everyone
:16:36. > :16:39.watching at home you have been in this sport for over ten years and
:16:40. > :16:47.you have an Olympic medal, what would you say to people who are not
:16:48. > :16:52.growing up in mountains, but you have done it on a dry slope in
:16:53. > :16:57.Bristol? I have and it is therefore you're taking. There are so many dry
:16:58. > :17:04.slopes out there, so have a crack at it. Can you sum up how much this
:17:05. > :17:10.means? I does do not want to lose it, but I feel very proud right now
:17:11. > :17:15.and it is time to celebrate. We are very proud of you and you have not
:17:16. > :17:21.lost it. We hope you are not the last medallist of the games. That
:17:22. > :17:23.was just a short ride from the men's downhill where I was off to early
:17:24. > :17:31.this morning. The sun is not quite up, I am
:17:32. > :17:35.heading up to those mountains with a cup of tea in my hand for the blue
:17:36. > :17:38.ribbon event of the Winter Olympics, the men's downhill and it has been
:17:39. > :17:45.won by some of the great names of winter sports, Franz,, Bermondsey
:17:46. > :17:48.Brugge. But if you look through the history books, you will also find
:17:49. > :17:55.the times when the hot favourites have faulted. Which means that we
:17:56. > :17:59.have got some long shot champions as well, and even the defending
:18:00. > :18:08.champion. There is the cause and it is tough.
:18:09. > :18:16.How are the skiers themselves reacting to it? It is a tough
:18:17. > :18:20.course. Some of them were like it, I think it is a good, real test. Apart
:18:21. > :18:26.from Bode Miller, who are the other big names we need to consider,
:18:27. > :18:32.Cabaye? Aksel Lund Svindal, he has been on the podium in big races as
:18:33. > :18:36.well so I would say him and Bode Miller are certainly the favourites.
:18:37. > :18:40.And we have got the defending champion in there, but different
:18:41. > :18:44.conditions today, the card has come over which makes the light flat, how
:18:45. > :18:49.does that affect them -- the cloud has come over. It will make it
:18:50. > :18:54.tougher when the light is like that. Graham will head to the commentator
:18:55. > :18:57.box with Matt Chilton. COMMENTATOR: It is time for the
:18:58. > :19:01.downhill skier to do battle with this mighty Russian bear of a
:19:02. > :19:05.mountain. Which is ready to show its claws.
:19:06. > :19:14.The first of the Swiss, he goes over the Bears brow and holds onto the
:19:15. > :19:24.landing. He will ski into gold medal position, that is more like it.
:19:25. > :19:27.Travis can, the young American is having a solid downhill run. And he
:19:28. > :19:40.has picked up. The Norwegian skier starts, he is
:19:41. > :19:50.getting better all the time, Jack Tom Youngs route. -- took three
:19:51. > :19:57.macro. But here's my, this means more to the Austrian -- Matthias
:19:58. > :20:03.Mayer. I would say he has got the best chance for Austria. I have said
:20:04. > :20:06.that perhaps Matthias Mayer might get on the podium here today. He is
:20:07. > :20:20.not too far away. Matthias Mayer goes to work in the
:20:21. > :20:25.middle part of the course. The best we have seen anyone do that
:20:26. > :20:28.compression left-hand turn after the Traverse. A bit of a hit in
:20:29. > :20:33.transition and that is where your skis are right. He is picking up
:20:34. > :20:53.now. There is not much in it, Matthias
:20:54. > :20:58.Mayer is looking solid. He needs to tuck in more with his head and
:20:59. > :21:02.shoulders. He tucks in for the line and takes it by one tenth of a
:21:03. > :21:06.second, the new leader in the Olympic downhill, the Austrian,
:21:07. > :21:10.Matthias Mayer. CLARE BALDING: So Matthias Mayer is
:21:11. > :21:14.in the lead at the moment but now it is time for the biggest name in this
:21:15. > :21:20.sport, the Americans behind me going mad for Bode Miller at the age of
:21:21. > :21:24.36. This will be his last Olympic Games. It is Miller Time.
:21:25. > :21:31.COMMENTATOR: He is absolutely flying. Through the Russian
:21:32. > :21:34.Trampoline, a genuine white knuckle ride there as he had his fist down
:21:35. > :21:45.on the snow. Cutting across the ice. He smashes that gate. Miller is
:21:46. > :21:50.destroying the course on his way down but he has two hundredths of a
:21:51. > :21:54.second behind, he seems to have lost a bit of speed as he flies over the
:21:55. > :21:58.Bears brow. He has got work to do on the bottom part of the course. As
:21:59. > :22:03.the damage being done? He went through that control gate, he set up
:22:04. > :22:09.and took too tight a line. Going over with a mule kick, a freestyle
:22:10. > :22:14.move going over the late job. Half a second behind, Bode Miller will be
:22:15. > :22:21.absolutely gutted if he fails to get in amongst the medals here and his
:22:22. > :22:26.final downhill. Matthias Mayer... It is too much for Bode Miller.
:22:27. > :22:33.His distraught, he has blown it. It is times like this I feel I have
:22:34. > :22:36.underdone the make-up but they are here in support of Aksel Lund
:22:37. > :22:38.Svindal, because he will be next on course.
:22:39. > :22:42.He was narrowly denied four years ago by them two. Could this be his
:22:43. > :22:50.Olympic year? COMMENTATOR: Away he goes, the best
:22:51. > :22:54.downhill skier of the season. No Norwegian has ever won the men's
:22:55. > :22:57.Olympic downhill title. And it has been a while since a favourite has
:22:58. > :23:18.won. A massive jump there. Big off the
:23:19. > :23:23.Russian Trampoline. He has to nail this turn, get that hip in. That is
:23:24. > :23:30.better. Maybe not quite as good as Matthias Mayer.
:23:31. > :23:34.This split is key, is Svindal in touch? You might just have lost his
:23:35. > :23:40.chance to win gold. Maybe an outside chance of a minor medal.
:23:41. > :23:51.Massive flight from Svindal and he has closed the gap ever so slightly
:23:52. > :23:59.down to 0.32 seconds. He has found some extra get up and go and off the
:24:00. > :24:04.final jump. Svindal is third and into bronze medal position.
:24:05. > :24:05.The Austrians celebrate because it means Matthias Mayer is still in
:24:06. > :24:14.pole position. Ready to race for Italy, never 20,
:24:15. > :24:25.tall, slim, fast, powerful, courageous. -- number 20.
:24:26. > :24:31.Christof Innerhofer has had the best start and is more than half a second
:24:32. > :24:35.quicker than intermediate number one. That was beautiful skiing on
:24:36. > :24:47.the top part of the course. Took so much risk.
:24:48. > :24:57.Christof Innerhofer, number 20, putting pressure on Matthias
:24:58. > :25:02.Mayer's hold on the gold medal. I think he will do this, I really do.
:25:03. > :25:10.He's a great Super-G skier, Super-G world champion, really cool, calm
:25:11. > :25:15.and relaxed. Christof Innerhofer is now just slightly on the wrong
:25:16. > :25:20.side, 100 of a second behind, it could change on the final section.
:25:21. > :25:27.He skis into break Austrian hearts... He has got second and
:25:28. > :25:35.silver, Matthias Mayer holds onto gold. It was the fact he ran
:25:36. > :25:40.slightly hard on the dear jump. He is a part-time underwear model,
:25:41. > :25:46.Christof Innerhofer. Matthias Mayer still leads grit off
:25:47. > :25:57.in the huff for Italy. Still a couple who could make a difference.
:25:58. > :26:01.And this is Erik Guay. And now Didier Defago skis in defence of his
:26:02. > :26:07.other big downhill crown. A cracking start by Didier Defago. His chance
:26:08. > :26:14.of a medal as surely slipped away now. Matthias Mayer has the gold
:26:15. > :26:17.medal for Austria. That morning I was waking up and I knew I could be
:26:18. > :26:21.the fastest on this hill because my training runs in the last days have
:26:22. > :26:28.been pretty good. I only wanted to ski down here. My dream was to ski
:26:29. > :26:34.down here so for me it is not important, my wish is coming true,
:26:35. > :26:38.what was to get a medal. It is amazing because once again, the
:26:39. > :26:42.downhill provides a major shock, gold has gone to Austria, Matthias
:26:43. > :26:45.Mayer whose father was a silver medallist back in 1988 in Calgary.
:26:46. > :26:51.Matthias Mayer at the listed on a World Cup downhill podium but today
:26:52. > :26:55.he is the lipid champion. -- he is the Olympic champion.
:26:56. > :27:01.Graham Bell has been watching the action back with me here and you
:27:02. > :27:06.were saying that Chris and a half will kick himself. He really will.
:27:07. > :27:10.After he back, he said he was happy to be on the podium but he was so
:27:11. > :27:13.good on the top and he was even been through the middle section but that
:27:14. > :27:20.little roller after Bear's Brow, he opened up and then didn't carry the
:27:21. > :27:26.same speed off the Lake Job. At that speed, 30 metres per second, that is
:27:27. > :27:30.a ski length, all less than that. Austria easily the most excess
:27:31. > :27:33.formation in terms of Olympic downhills, and Matthias Mayer not
:27:34. > :27:38.the man you would have picked at Christmas time. No, he is a new kid
:27:39. > :27:46.on the block. Austria going into these Games were depleted because
:27:47. > :27:53.they had lost Harness Reich held. He had a back injury with a operation
:27:54. > :27:57.and they were going in with nothing. We have got the women's super
:27:58. > :28:00.combined tomorrow, Chemmy Alcott will ski the downhill part of that.
:28:01. > :28:04.Guess, just for training, because she missed out on training today.
:28:05. > :28:09.She is building up for the downhill basically which is on Wednesday. She
:28:10. > :28:16.does not want to... She wants to just pace herself. Chemmy Alcott
:28:17. > :28:21.back from having broken her leg above the fourth time, I think she
:28:22. > :28:25.has broken 45 bones in her body, just an amazing story that she is
:28:26. > :28:31.here at all. We will take a check on the men's luge in which Felix Lodz
:28:32. > :28:34.of Germany is the defending champ in -- Felix Loch. Gold was decided
:28:35. > :28:38.today. COMMENTATOR: This is where it gets
:28:39. > :28:45.serious. Armin Zorba, about to make history here. Can he get a medal for
:28:46. > :28:51.the sixth time? What on earth does he try this time? Felix Loch for
:28:52. > :29:00.history. Here we go. Armin Zoggeler is away. He has to get close to his
:29:01. > :29:16.previous best time of 4.677 and that is good.
:29:17. > :29:26.Felix Loch, can he get gold for the second time? Only one man knows how
:29:27. > :29:31.fast he has got to go, he is ahead, surely it will be gold number two.
:29:32. > :29:39.He has gone to the best part of half a second and that is the start that
:29:40. > :29:46.Felix Loch can give you. Armin Zoggeler has got a medal, you see
:29:47. > :29:57.him there, absolutely superb. , amazing. Simply amazing This is
:29:58. > :30:05.fast. Demchenko is in first place. Will it be the plan to stay there?
:30:06. > :30:13.He will have to take a couple of huge hits here to get this. Felix
:30:14. > :30:24.Loch is flying here. Felix Loch coming through towards
