You might not have have heard about alpine skiing's team combined event before and that is because this is the first time the event has been included at a Winter Olympics.

It made its debut yesterday with the men's event, and I have to say, it made for brilliant viewing.

Now it's the women's turn today and we've got an all-star line-up ready to go - starting with the downhill event.

Good morning, and welcome to the start of the Winter Olympics' most chaotic event.

If there was ever an event where anything could happen, short track is it. Skaters race each other around a tight course, over short distances and at high speeds - on ice.

If you need proof of this sport's unpredictability, look up Stephen Bradbury at Salt Lake City 2002. For my money, the greatest Winter Olympic moment of all time.

There's plenty of short track speed skating today and we'll be bringing you all of the key moments from the women's 500m and men's 1000m heats.

There's also the mixed team relay quarter-final to look forward to!

Great Britain's Anna Pryce is one of the 89 women in this morning's qualifying session.

The Canada-born 24-year-old switched allegiance to Great Britain ahead of this season and rocketed to the top of British standings to reach these Games.

If you want drama then look no further than the women's sprint classic.

There is expected to be a real tight contest for gold when Sweden's Jonna Sundling and Norway's Kristine Stavas Skistad continue their battle in Milan.

Dubbed as the 'Clash of the Titans,' the pair have lots of race history which has seen plenty of close races, tactical battles and even public spats!

It was Sundling who won their last head-to-head at the 2025 World Championships so she goes into today's race as reigning sprint classic champion.

Skistad will no doubt want revenge for that silver medal, though. And what better way for her to do that than at a maiden Olympic Games ...

Qualification for the men and women's sprint classic has started.

The cross-country skiing event starts with a time trial where skiers set off every 15 seconds. The 30 fastest then progress to the quarter-final stage.

The quarter-final stage is five heats comprised of six athletes. The top two in each heat, plus the next two fastest athletes, progress to the semi-final.

The two finals take place around lunchtime.

Here's how the medal table is shaping up at the start of day four ...

Monday was less magic and more mundane, as Great Britain came so close to podium spots with agonising fourth-place finishes.

Here's a reminder of how day three went:

• Team GB's Kirsty Muir missed out on medal by 0.41 points, finishing fourth behind Canada's Megan Oldham in the women's slopestyle, while Switzerland's Mathilde Gremaud won gold ahead of China's Eileen Gu.
• Muir's team-mate Mia Brookes also finished fourth in women's big air snowboarding, which was won impressively by Kokomo Murase of Japan. New Zealand's Zoi Sadowski Synnott and South Korea's Yu Seungeun secured silver and bronze respectively.
• Having cruised through the group stage, Team GB's curling mixed doubles pairing of Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat fell to a 9-3 defeat against Sweden in the semi-finals, and will now face Italy in a bronze medal match on Wednesday.
• Figure skaters Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson claimed fourth in the ice dance - rhythm dance. The event concludes on Wednesday.
• It was a Dutch one-two in speed skating's women's 1,000m with Jutta Leerdam and Femke Kok sealed gold and silver, while Japan's Miho Tagaki won bronze. Team GB's Ellia Smedling finished 11th, the best result by a British woman in the sport.
• Philipp Raimund of Germany was victorious in ski jumping's men's normal hill, with Poland's Kacper Tomasiak in silver position and Japan's Ren Nikaido and Switzerland's Gregor Deschwanden sharing bronze.
• Switzerland's second gold of the day came in the men's team alpine skiing, where they beat Austria and a second Swiss line-up.
• British women impressed in their first official skeleton training; while the men also performed well.
