Matt Weston made history as the first British man to be crowned Olympic skeleton champion.

The 28-year-old posted track records in each of his four runs and went sub-56 seconds on three occasions, finishing with a final time of 3:43.33.

He was +0.88 seconds clear of Germany's Axel Jungk in second place and +1.07 faster than defending champions Christopher Grotheer in third.

Oh my, that could be decisive. Yet another mistake by the Canadians and Rebecca Morrison glides in for two and a four-shot lead with two ends left.

Swedish curler Oskar Eriksson accused Canadian curler Marc Kennedy of cheating during their round-robin match on Friday. Eriksson claimed Kennedy was double-touching the stone, by pushing a finger on it after releasing the handle which is against the rules.

You should not be touching the stone after you’ve released it. If you touch it with a broom it’s burned and removed, he’s released that stone and then poked it with his finger – I’m not sure why. Is it to push it a little bit harder because he felt he didn’t give it enough when it was released? But that is definitely not something you should be doing.

It’s the first time I’ve seen it but the question we should be asking is – if Oskar is challenging him, has he done it before? Have they been doing it before at other Championships and now they’re being called out on it?

It’s the first time I’ve seen it and it definitely should not be happening at this level. We as curlers are very proud of our sport and our sportsmanship and the good humour that goes with it. It’s a gentlemanly sport that we’ve played for so long so I’m a bit disappointed with the Canadians if that’s what they’re doing. We’ll all be looking now.

Lucas Pinheiro Braathen is still the outright leader in the men's giant slalom event.

The Brazilian, who hasn't finished lower than second in his five World Cup appearances this season, probably won't have his time challenged in these first runs now.

Switzerland's Marco Odermatt, Loic Meillard and Thomas Tumler are placed second to fourth, with France's Leo Anguenot completing the top five at 1.91 seconds behind pace.

Estonia's Tormis Laine is really not happy with his first run of the day - and for good reason.

The 25-year-old labours his way down the course and finishes 4.92 seconds behind the pace.

He's currently in 25th position, so he'll be hoping he doesn't slip out of the top 30 otherwise he will be out of the competition altogether.

We're already 28 athletes down at the Stelvio Ski Centre.

I don't know what Rebecca Morrison had for breakfast this morning, but she's playing the big shots and the big moments. Not bad for someone relatively inexperienced on this stage.

She again restricts the world champions to one point when they have the hammer, meaning GB take it into the eighth with a two-shot lead.

The curling has swapped back to BBC Two, while you can catch the rest of the women's dual moguls on BBC Red Button or iPlayer.

Lucas Pinheiro Braathen is still setting pace by the way.

The Brazilian went out of the traps first this morning, setting a time of 1:13.92, and Switzerland's Marco Odermatt is the only person to have come within a second of him so far.

He will be super happy with his opening run!

Thanks Adam - a few people have asked this question.

The reason that Canada kept the hammer was that Team GB had won the previous end. It doesn't alternate from end to end, if you win an end, the other team gets the hammer in the next. That team also keeps the hammer if there is no score in an end.

Austria's Avital Carrol takes it. She scores 23, while Makayla Gerken Schofield only gets 12.

She lost a lot of points because of speed there.

That's her Olympics over.

There's a bit of a wobble from Austria's Avital Carrol, but she crosses the line first - 0.75 seconds ahead of Britain's Makayla Gerken Schofield.

Let's see what the judges say...

Here goes Britain's Makayla Gerken Schofield in the dual moguls!

For context, the highest score that we've seen so far is the 29 set by both Perrine Laffont of France and Australia's Emma Bosco.

All Gerken Schofield needs to worry about now, though, is whether she can better Austria's Avital Carrol in the round of 32.

Off they go...

Luca De Aliprandini's disappointing season continues...

The Italian only competes in this discipline, so you could call him a giant slalom specialist, but he becomes the first to take a tumble on the course.

His left ski just gave way on the bend and he found himself face first down in the snow. That shouldn't have happened, it looked like his equipment failed him.

Upsetting scenes, especially in front of his home crowd.

Another composed end by Team GB earns them a point and restores the lead to three points. Their momentum continues.

Germany's Fabian Gratz comes through his opening run in this men's giant slalom event in 1:16.20.

He might be 2.28 seconds off the lead, but his body language says he will take a top 10 position going into the second run.

Let's see if he can hold on to it...

Took a wander up to the sliding track for the skeleton final last night and bumped into some of the curlers.

The big debate was whether you'd rather hurtle down head first like Matt Weston, or feet first like they do in the luge? The curlers were adamant it's the former. Not convinced.

We're still waiting for someone to go remotely close to Lucas Pinheiro Braathen's time of 1:13.92 in the first runs of this men's giant slalom event.

The discipline takes place over two courses, with the top 30 on this first course advancing to the second and both times being added together to work out the final standings.

USA's River Radamus takes to the course, having raced his way to fourth at the Beijing Games, but finishes 2.46 seconds behind pace with a time of 1:16.38.

Stefan Brennsteiner shakes his head as he finishes his first run two seconds off the pace of Lucas Pinheiro Braathen.

The Austrian, who won his first-ever World Cup giant slalom race this season, finishes with a time of 1:15.92.

Italy's Alex Vinatzer is greeted with cheers at the top of the course from the home crowd, but only does enough to go into 10th - 2.39 seconds behind the current pace.

There were some fun and games during Friday night's match between Canada and Sweden.

Long story short, the Swedes believed one of the Canadian players was double-touching some of his stones - basically releasing them, before giving them another little nudge.

After a little bit of back and forth, including protestations to the officials, tempers became frayed and a few of the good swears were loudly exchanged across the ice.

"I don't like being accused of cheating after 25 years on tour and four Olympic Games," said the Canadian player in question, Marc Kennedy.

"So I told him [Sweden's Oskar Eriksson] where to stick it. He might have been upset that he was losing..."

Canada went on to win 8-6, leaving the 2022 gold medal-winning Swedish rink without a win in their first three games.

Keep an eye out for Britain's Makayla Gerken Schofield in the dual moguls.

The 26-year-old didn't make it through qualifying for the moguls earlier this week, but the dual moguls is her stronger discipline.

She has won two European Cup events, while she also has a World Cup bronze to her name - although that was three years ago.

She'll be up against Austria's Avital Carrol first.
