All over, and it's the biggest win of the 2026 men's Olympic ice hockey competition so far. 11 goals, seven scorers for reigning champions Finland.

Here's how the group stage is shaping up:

Group A - Canada have qualified for the quarter-finals as group winners, Switzerland and Czech Republic will meet tomorrow with the victors taking second place.

Group B - Slovakia seal top spot thanks to their superior head to head record over Sweden and Finland. The Finns finish second and could go straight into the last eight as the best runner up.

Group C - USA can all but seal first place by beating Denmark tonight, while Latvia are on course for second after defeating Germany earlier.

What a jump that is from Kazakhstan's Ilya Mizernykh - 140.5 metres!

He's the 20th jumper down the slope and leads the way with a score of 137 points.

USA's Tate Frantz is second (129.8) and Finland's Vilho Palosaari (124.1) third.

If you're wondering what the bright green line on the slope is, that's a visualisation of how far the next jumper has to jump to take the lead.

All done in run three of the women's skeleton.

Nicole Burger of South Africa is the final competitor to head down the track, and she remains last so will be first to go when run four starts at 18:35 GMT.

There's been no change in the top five of the standings, but Team GB's Tabby Stoecker looks unlikely to pick-up a medal having not improved her time.

Team-mates Freya Tarbit (2:53.03) and Amelia Coltman (2:53.72) have slipped to eighth and 10th from sixth and ninth.

1. Janine Flock (Aut) - 2:51.74
2. Susanne Kreher (Ger) - 2:51.95
3. Jacqueline Pfeifer (Ger) - 2:52.17
4. Hannah Neise (Ger) - 2:52.44
5. Tabby Stoecker (GB) - 2:52.76

Everything about ski jumping is terrifying to me. Even how they set up for their jumps - shoogling from the staircase beside the jump on your bum along a wooden slat and staring down at that huge drop...

10 jumpers down, 40 to go.

Finland's Vilho Palosaari leads with a total score of 124.1.

It's looking very chilly - and a little bit sleety - in Livigno. Not enjoyable ski jumping conditions, apparently.

Five of the 50 jumpers have successfully completed their first-round jumps.

China's Qiwu Song leads the way with 113.1 points ahead of Estonian teenager Kaimar Vagul (112.4) and Italy's Francesco Cecon (86.8).

Germany’s Philipp Raimund won a surprise gold in Monday’s normal hill final and will attempt to join Matti Nykanen, Simon Ammann (twice), and Kamil Stoch as the only jumpers to win both titles at the same Games. He was a European bronze medallist on the large hill in 2023.

Raimund’s background is extraordinary, with the 25-year-old struggling with a fear of heights as recently as March 2025.

Slovenia’s Domen Prevc only finished sixth on the normal hill but has won mixed team gold with sister, Nika.

The 26-year-old is the reigning large hill world champion and leads this season’s World Cup standings.

Norway’s Marius Lindvik is the reigning Olympic champion and Ryoyu Kobayashi (Japan) took the silver medal. They finished 12th and eighth, respectively, in the normal hill.

I think there's going to be some really good racing, and I think team GB are in a potential spot for a medal. But I don't want to curse us too soon!

• 17:45 GMT – first round
• 18:57 – final round

Finland have stepped it up a gear, and have scored three goals in the first four minutes of the third period.

Italy changed their goalkeeper at the start of this period, and incoming Davide Fadani won't know what has hit him.

The good news for Italy is that the biggest defeat in Olympic ice hockey history came in 1924 when Canada beat Switzerland 33–0, so they should be safe from that.

17 competitors down on run three of the women's skeleton, eight to go.

Team GB's Amelia Coltman has dropped to 10th, with Anna Fernstaedt of the Czech Republic moving from 11th to ninth.

The individual ski jumping events consist of a first round and a final round, with one scored jump per athlete per round and points combined from the two jumps to produce the final standings.

Only the top 30 (of 50) from the first round advance to the final round.

Points are awarded for distance, with athletes earning 60 points for jumping to the K-point (where the steepest part of the hill ends and begins to flatten out). For every metre above or below the K-point, jumpers receive a bonus/deduction of 1.8 points.

Jumpers are also awarded points for jumping performance (or style), with five judges looking at how aerodynamic your body is in flight, your posture, your landing and outrun, and overall aesthetic impression.

Each of the five judges scores the jumper out of 20, with the highest and lowest scores discounted and the other three combined for an overall style score out of 60.

It’s absolutely packed on what the Cortina contingent of BBC Sport have dubbed Lazy Hill.

That’s because it’s the lowest part of the track and therefore only requires a short uphill trek.

If you’re heading for the finish line then that’s a proper uphill hike and if you’re heading for the start line, well good on you - that’s only for the most hardcore people.

In Val di Fiemme, it’s nearly time for some ski jumping!

On Monday, the jumpers competed on the normal hill, with Germany’s Philipp Raimund winning gold.

Today, it’s the turn of the large hill! The difference? The start gate and the take-point for the large hill are higher up the course.

The first round will get under way at 17:45 GMT.

Italy might be getting hammered, but the fans are enjoying themselves. There's a light show and pumping techno music - getting people in the mood for Saturday night.

And even though the Italians will finish rock bottom of their group they will play at least one more game.

From the group stages, the four best ranked sides go straight to the quarter-finals while those ranked fifth through 12th enter the play-off round.

The skeleton runners and the way the sled is set up can be impacted by the weather and small changes in ice temperatures can impact the speed.

Here comes Team GB's third athlete Amelia Coltman, starting the day in ninth.

Like her team-mates, she puts in her worst run of three, with a time of 58.13.

Meanwhile Kim Meylemans of Belgium and China's Zhao Dan have overtaken Freya Tarbit - she slips to eighth.

Tabby Stoecker and Freya Tarbit have both lost ground on the medal places but we do have to remember that all three of the GB girls are at their first Olympic Games and are competing against experienced athletes so they are doing a good job at the moment.

For some reason it just hasn’t happened for Tabby Stoecker, even though her training runs were really good this week.

It’s unlikely she’ll finish in the medals now.

Freya Tarbit had a really good day yesterday but again that run puts her firmly out of medal contention.

That’s disappointing for GB - they were certainly an outside chance for a medal here.

How can Freya Tarbit get on?

It's similar to the preceding run from Tabby Stoecker, a 57.87 the slowest of her three efforts.

She stays in sixth, but is at risk of being overtaken by the athletes that follow her.

Tabby Stoecker will be disappointed with that run. There were just a few errors where she was untidy and just compound and compound and knock hundredths of seconds off.
