Snowboarding - Women's slopestyle final

Snowboarding - Women's slopestyle final
Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, currently fourth, punches the air at the end of her final run... is it enough for a medal? Is it enough for gold?

Kokomo Murase has gone absolutely huge on those rails.
It took Kokomo a minute to absorb that score.
Snowboarding - Women's slopestyle final
A nervous wait for the score from the judges...
Japan's Kokomo Murase scores 85.80! She improves but stays second behind Mari Fukada.
Both are guaranteed medals, and only Zoi Sadowski-Synnott can deny Fukada gold.
Sadowski-Synnott has been close on her first two runs - can she put it all together on the final run, with the pressure on?
Biathlon - women's 4x6km relay
Image source, Getty ImagesIt's a dominant victory for France!
They recover from being 16th at the end of the first leg to win by a huge margin.
Julia Simon waves at the crowd on her final ski, takes her national flag for the final section and crosses the line to seal a treble relay triumph for her country, after the men's team won the 4x7.5km event yesterday and the mixed competition earlier in the Games.
Indeed, it's France's fifth gold and 10th podium place in biathlon at this Olympics, after Simon won the women's individual and Quentin Fillon Maillet took the men's sprint.

Is this going to upset the podium? I think it might!
Snowboarding - Women's slopestyle final
Reira Iwabuchi and Yu Seung-eun can't significantly improve so we're down to the final two - Kokomo Murase and Zoi Sadowski-Synnott.
Murase up first - she's second as it stands.
Biathlon - women's 4x6km relay

Unless something highly unlikely happens on the final ski, France have the gold.
That will be Julia Simon's third of the Games, after victories in the women's 15km and mixed relay.
Sweden remain in second while Germany are chasing Norway for third.

The experienced Austrian Anna Gasser goes next and she is unable to put down a clean run.
Four more competitors to go. Mari Fukada and Annika Morgan, currently first and third, can do nothing more but watch.

Ally Hickman worked on that landing! It was like she was in the jaws of a great white being thrown around.
An instant round of applause. You showed everyone what you could do there, Ally Hickman, and you got so close to it.
Snowboarding - Women's slopestyle final
Image source, Getty ImagesGreat to see Australia's Ally Hickman back in action after a heavy fall on run two.
And she's oh so close to sticking the final landing!
She was seventh before that final run and that's where she will stay for now.

Right, so to remind you, Team GB now need Norway or Italy to lose their final two games.
And that's looking on at the moment. The Norwegians are 6-3 down to unbeaten Switzerland and Italy now trail Canada 7-3. Those fixtures are flipped tomorrow morning.

This is huge. That's an improvement and the execution was perfect up at the top for Mari Fukada.
Snowboarding - Women's slopestyle final
Japan's Mari Fukada is in gold medal position - what can she do with her final run?
A great start, can she keep it going?
It's a clean run and we wait to see if there's an improvement on her second-run score of 85.70...
87.83 - she's now eight points clear of the field.
Biathlon - women's 4x6km relay
Clean shoot from Julia Simon!
The French leader is out of the shooting range before any of the other athletes have even arrived.

The take-off didn't look right on that, but Annika Morgan did have plenty of speed.
Snowboarding - Women's slopestyle final
None of the first four competitors have threatened the medals with their final runs.
Now, what can Germany's Annika Morgan manage? She's in third place currently...
Agh - she was going well and carrying a lot of speed but just can't land the final trick.
Biathlon - women's 4x6km relay
Image source, Getty ImagesHere we go - it's the exchange into the fourth leg.
Oceane Michelon, with a lead of 46 seconds, hands over to France team-mate Julia Simon.
In second place, Sweden's Elvira Oeberg hands over to sister Hanna - they won gold in this event four years ago but it looks like they may have to settle for silver in Italy.
Norway currently hold the bronze position.
Curling - GB men 9-2 United States

Image source, Getty ImagesLooks like the Americans considered chucking it at the end there... and, in fact, they've offered up the handshakes. That's a fifth victory for Team GB in their nine round-robin games.
Now, will Norway or Italy lose and extend GB's semi-final hopes into Thursday morning?

Remarkably, the first end that Team GB have had the hammer, and Bruce Mouat offers up another shot of the highest order to set up a score of three.
There have been questions asked of the skip this week, but he's been bang on it here on his 15th consecutive day of competitive curling.
