It's so strange watching the bobsleighs on this track having spent the last week watching athletes slide down on a baking tray - either feet first or head first.

The sleds all of a sudden look massive. That will be the case even more when the four-man event begins later this week.

Team GB have work to do in heat two but, like most of the teams here, it's really about who can do enough to knock one of the three German teams off the podium.

Marvellous race from Arianna Fontana. A fabulous skate.

Getting again into a final and potentially getting her 14th medal.

Canada’s Courtney Sarault has won a medal in both her events so far - silver in the mixed relay, bronze in the 500m.

Could she complete the Milanese set with gold?

Courtney Sarault is the first over the line in the second semi-final.

Italy's Arianna Fontana is just behind the Canadian for the second automatic spot.

Here we are then, the second semi-final.

Italy's Arianna Fontana is in this one and you know that just by the crowd nosie!

Kim Gil-li of South Korea is advanced as a result of Belgium's Hanne Desmet impeding her.

That means the reigning world champion is out!

Xandra Velzeboer of the Netherlands was untroubled in that race and is safely through to the final.

China's Gong Li is second over the line and joins her.

There's a video review going on though for an incident that didn't involve those two ...

Xandra Velzeboer of the Netherlands is leading the way with three laps to go ...

Right then, it's semi-final time.

Niall Treacy is Team GB's only short track skater at Milan-Cortina, having been one of three just four years ago at the Beijing Games.

In 2018, meanwhile, GB sent a team of five to PyeongChang.

Speaking to experts, the reason for Treacy's three crashes comes from him training on his own, so not being used to the crowded chaos of big events.

The latest UK Sport funding allocation of just under £2m has been presented as a total for short track, figure and and long track speed skating.

It's a bleak picture for GB speed skating at the moment.

Mexican wave klaxon!

They absolutely love it rink side. I think every time I've covered speed skating there's been one.

The second heat in the two-man bobsleigh is about to begin, so let's see what Great Britain's Brad Hall and Taylor Lawrence can do.

The pair completed their first run in a time of 55.65 seconds and are currently in eighth place.

The Germans are dominating the leader board, with all three of their teams in the podium positions.

Good morning from an incredibly snowy Livigno! I've spent the morning with these two champs, inside the warmth of Team GB HQ.

It's fair to say they had a good night last night, Huw Nightingale in particular...

You may have seen the video doing the rounds on Instagram of him dancing on someone's shoulders.

"It was a great vibe," he told me.

The women's 1000m semi-finals are up next.

It's two races of five skaters, with the two fastest athletes in each race automatically progressing to the final along with the third fastest placed athlete.

Italy's Arianna Fontana is in the second semi-final against Canada's Courtney Sarault, who has also won mixed team relay silver and 500m bronze at these Games.

Andrew Heo of the USA and Lin Xiaojun of China progress to the quarter final as the two fastest skaters in that eighth and final heat.

Unfortunately, GB's Niall Treacy doesn't.

Oh no, Niall Treacy has fallen again!

A wobbly start for GB's Niall Treacy as he was clipped on the opening corner by South Korea's Rim Jong-un – an 18-year-old high school student won bronze in the 1000m - requiring a restart to the heat.

Some running repairs to Treacy's blades, and we will have another go.

GB's Niall Treacy is in this next heat ...

Brandon Kim of the United States is penalised for causing the crash.

Daniil Eibog of Uzbekistan is advanced to the quarter-finals as a result.

Ukraine's Oleh Handei qualifies in second, while Dutchman Jens van 'T Wout crossed the line first and was the only skater to not be involved in the collision.

Never a dull moment in short track speed skating.

Three of the four skaters have hit the deck in the seventh heat and we're waiting for the referee to review the crash.
