  1. Flock retains lead for run threepublished at 17:43 GMT 13 February

    Women's skeleton - run two

    Fast finishing Flock! I'm not sure how she did that - she was in the red almost the entire way down - but Austria's Janine Flock will lead the women's skeleton into Saturday's run three.

    Flock has a time of 1:54.48 with German pair Susanne Kreher (+0.04) and Jacqueline Pfeifer (+0.13) occupying the other podium spots.

    GB's Tabby Stoecker is fifth (+0.53), with team-mates Freya Tarbit (+0.68) and Amelia Coltman (+1.11) in sixth and ninth place, respectively.

    It's a German one-two-three as Susanne Kreher takes the lead with one slider to go.

    Kreher has a time of 1:54.52. Can Austria's Janine Flock reclaim top spot?

    Just when she needed to match her first run, she was two tenths slower. This now makes her medal chase tomorrow even harder.

    There's not going to be much in this.

    Tabitha Stoecker had a clean start. But we saw the back end of the sleigh breakout. She was trying to control it with her feet but it was no luck.

    Ahhh it's not a clean run from Tabby Stoecker, featuring a costly slide in the middle.

    She drops down into third place (1:55.01) with two sliders to come.

    But she'll still be top five heading into run three.

    The lead passes from one German to another as Jacqueline Pfeifer puts down a track record (57.18).

    She goes to the top of the standings with a time of 1:54.61 with three sliders to come.

    Next up, Great Britain's Tabby Stoecker, who was third after run one.

    Zoooom. That's a smooth run from reigning Olympic champion Hannah Neise.

    The German takes the lead with an overall time of 1:54.85. That's +0.31 seconds faster than Freya Tarbit.

    Next up, Germany's Jacqueline Pfeifer - the 2018 Olympic silver medallist.

    Not a bad run from Kim Meylemans, the consistency was there. The two sliders before her just had better runs. I think there's more to come from Kim, she just hasn't found her groove yet.

    And Freya Tarbit keeps climbing! European champion Kim Meylemans drops two places, coming in +0.16 down on the Brit.

    If it's of any consolation to the Belgian, her helmet, which features a lion, is great.

    That was an excellent second run from Freya Tarbit. That's the type of run she would've wanted on the first run. Maybe her nerves were there but this is going to give her a lot of confidence going into tomorrow.

    What an excellent second run from Freya Tarbit. What an improvement. It really puts some pressure on the athletes in front of her.

    "This is a lovely run," says Callum in the office. And he's not wrong!

    Freya Tarbit smashes her first run time by 0.36 seconds to post a combined time of 1:55.16.

    She's in the lead with seven sliders to go.

    She'll be at least eighth heading into Saturday's final two runs. Amelia Coltman will be ninth at worst.

    Next up, it's GB's Freya Tarbit.

    She's chasing down team-mate Amelia Coltman (1:55.59) after USA's Kelly Curtis (+0.10) was unable to better the Brit.

    Great Britain's Amelia Coltman goes 0.13 faster than her first run, picking up nice speed at the back end of the track having earlier collided with corner two.

    Her time is 1:55.59, putting her in the lead.

    "Come on GB," she says after her run.

    Nine sliders to come.

    That's not the run Kimberley Bos will have wanted - even to my untrained eye, her left leg was flapping about off the sledge.

    She's slower than her first run and her combined time of 1:55.86 puts her third.

    Now into the top 10 from run one, starting with Great Britain's Amelia Coltman.

    Next up, it's reigning world champion Kimberley Bos.

    The Dutchwoman was down in 11th place and +0.66 off the pace after run one.

    Anna Fernstaedt's 1:55.76 is the time to beat.

    Excellent helmet from Brazil's Nicole Rocha Silveira - that parrot looks quite imposing at 80mph.

    She leads with a time of 1:55.78.
