I'm trying to give more positive news after the third fourth-placed finish for Team GB at these Games.

And it's coming from the Cortina sliding track where the third and fourth training runs have been taking place.

Matt Weston, who has been the standout slider in the world this season and is the reigning world champion, topped the standings in both runs today after a first and second yesterday.

And Tabby Stoecker has also been either first or second in her training runs in the women's event.

This is only training of course but it means that they are both loving the track and their equipment is working well.

To mark your cards for later in the week, the races will take place over the course of two days, the men's on Thursday and Friday and the women's on Friday and Saturday.

Earlier, GB's Niall Treacy crashed out in the opening round of the men's 1000m following a collision with Canada's Steven Dubois where it was judged they shared equal responsibility.

Treacy will compete again in the 1500m on Saturday.

The 25-year-old from Henley-in-Arden has been speaking about the incident.

On the fall alongside Steven Dubois: "It's obviously a little bit frustrating to have that fall with shared responsibility. But that’s short track.

"That was the race I wanted to do, go out and set a hard pace. But that's the way the 1000 ends.

"It's the Olympic Games, you don't want to be pushed around when it gets like this stage, definitely not in these early races.On the cause of the crash: "We both went for a move. Maybe he thought that he had more speed, but I felt like he was a little bit too tight and a little bit too late on the overtake."

GB's Jacques Jefferies, spoke to BBC Sport after finishing 79th in the biathlon earlier today: "[My first Olympics] felt amazing, even if it isn't the race I wanted. When you see the crowds, the people in the meadow over there, cheering you on even if they're not the same nationality feels amazing."

On what went wrong: "On the skis straight off from the first lap I felt like I wasn't at the correct pace. The shooting was alright - not perfect, not terrible. With shooting like that I would've expected to be top 60 instead I was miles off.

"[Top 60] was the goal. In two days time in the sprint race, top 60 is what will qualify me for the pursuit."

On his first Olympics: "It's absolutely amazing. The British Olympic Association have put up an incredible amount of support for us this week, they were in the crowds watching me today and it really means a lot. I can't wait for the races to come.

"My mum, my dad and my sister were all here to come and watch and it really means a lot for them to come over from France."

USA's Alex Hall, spoke to BBC Sport after winning his silver medal in freeski slopestyle earlier today: "Feeling great. Can't believe it really but I'll take it all in for sure.

"We were all trying our hardest runs. The level's so high nowadays that if we try something easy, you're not going to do well. So we were all going full out. It was tricky, the light was a little tough but a real fun course and I can't believe I managed to get it down once - one out of three tries, it just takes one."

On how he'll celebrate tonight: "Hang out with my friends. Not a big party guy so just enjoy it with my fam and friends, soak it in, nothing crazy."

On signing the 'Ski Fossil Free' petition, that calls for the IOC to commit to ending fossil fuel sponsorships and marketing: "I mean, I'm not that old but I'm old enough to see changes in where I've skied in my life. I don't exactly know what they're related to but I've seen the change.

"We've had events cancelled because of a lack of snow or pre-season training that we can't do. I've seen first-hand the effects, and I know it's not easy for an athlete to say because we travel a lot and do a lot of things that don't help the situation, so it's a mixed emotion but I have seen the effects. If we can trend towards a better future that's the plan, that's the hope."

Norway's Birk Ruud, spoke to BBC Sport after winning his gold medal in freeski slopestyle earlier today: "It sounds like a dream. But it's real, that happened. I'm proud of myself and I am very thankful for my family and this sport.

"It brings us together and it makes my life great. I love this sport and I get to be happy and I love it so much. It's easier to say it when you win but my focus is on skiing and not affected by the result.

"I said to myself, if I can do this run no matter the outcome, I know in my heart I'll be happy and that's what I did. The result is a really good bonus."

On his winning run: "I'm very happy with the run that I did compared to the conditions. It's pretty flat light and difficult to see and my last trick is something I hadn't done until today, not that it's anything huge, but for me it's great and to put it all together is one of the best feelings."

On preparing for the men's big air event: "The Big Air is the one I've been putting the most time and energy into because if you don't have the tricks there, you don't have a chance so I got to go and cook up something."

So it's another fourth place for Great Britain. They'll have to wait until Wednesday for their next shot at a medal.

But fear not! It's been an exciting day four in Milan-Cortina and there's still plenty more to come.

Bruce Mouat speaking about the pair's performances this week: "It is rough. We played so much better than we did four years ago, but to leave with the same result is going to hurt for a bit, but both of us are pretty resilient people.

"We fought for everything this week and I'm extremely proud of us. We spoke last night about how lucky we are to be playing at the Olympics as best mates. We are two people that grew up together and never really knew where we could go with curling.

"It has been pretty special with Jen. I'm obviously pretty gutted but I'm so proud of us for sticking at it."

Jen Dodds speaking after missing out on the bronze medal: "It is a case of so close yet so far. It hurts the same as four years ago really. I don't want to ugly cry so I'm just going to stop there.

"All I can say is thank you to everyone from back home who is loving curling as much as we are. I'm seeing all the messages and it is so heart-warming to know the whole country is behind you.

"There's been a few fourth places for Team GB over the last couple of days, and that shows how close we are in so many events."

As promised, here are Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat's thoughts ...

The brutal reality of sport at the highest level.

The contrast between victory and defeat.

It is really hard to see the disappointment in their faces.

Jen and Bruce have been so good all week. They have ran the table, so coming up with two losses in their last two games will be hard to take.

They had unfinished business in Beijing, so to come out and experience deja vu is horrible.

It's only day four, Anna - but yes, that's three near misses for Team GB now...

It was all just a little bit too late.

Great Britain played some good stuff in the final few ends, but the damage had already been done in the first half with those couple of steals.

Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat are speaking on BBC One now.

They are, understandably, emotional and "gutted".

We will bring you their full quotes shortly.

Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat look like they're holding back the tears as they slide away from the house. They embrace, are consoled by their coaches, and disappear from the arena.

It's happened again after finishing fourth in Beijing. Not how it was supposed to go and a tough, tough thing to come back from.
