Four sliders to go!

Nicholas Timmings (Australia), Jared Firestone (Israel), Hiroatsu Takahashi (Japan), and Josip Brusic (Canada) are all more than 3.5 seconds off the pace.

Here's a reminder of how the top five is looking:

1. Matt Weston (Great Britain) - 2:47.72
2. Axel Jungk (Germany) - 2:48.11 (+0.39)
3. Christopher Grotheer (Germany) - 2:48.47 (+0.75)
4. Wenhao Chen (China) - 2:48.64 (+0.92)
5. Amedeo Bagnis (Italy) - 2:48.67 (+0.95)

Weston's fellow Brit Marcus Wyatt is 10th.

In case you missed Matt Weston's third run - and if so, what were you playing at?!? - here it is again in all its glory.

He's top of the standings with a time of 2:47.72 and a lead of +0.39 seconds over second-placed Axel Jungk.

We've had six skaters perform their free skate in tonight's men's final. Eighteen athletes, including many of the favourites, are still to go.

Japan's Kao Miura is the current leader with 246.88.

Another five sliders have come down the track.

Nothing has changed at the top of the standings but Marcus Wyatt has stabilised in 10th place.

He's +0.33 clear of Rasmus Vestergaard Johansen in 11th place and only +0.23 off seventh place with one run to go. A top-10 finish is looking good but he'll have wanted so much more.

Scotty James is the last rider to complete his first of three runs in the halfpipe final and he looks on for a mightily impressive score after a series of fabulously unique tricks.

But on his very final landing he catches an edge and sits down in the snow. Just the 48.75 points for him.

Japan's boarders make up the top three at the moment. They are:

Ryusei Yamada - 92.00

Yuto Totsuka - 91.00

Ruka Hirano - 90.00

Watch Scotty James compete in the green and gold of Australia and one thing stands out: his red mittens.

His boxing gloves.

He was sent his first pair by a company many years ago, and after a spell of frustrating performances, he found them again, tucked away in his wardrobe, ahead of the 2017 X Games.

"I'd come from the Laax Open, I'd got second and I was all fired up," he told BBC Ski Sunday. "I went into the closet and remember pulling the gloves out.

"It was like a boxing kangaroo, but the narrative built over time.

"I wore the gloves at the X Games, I won my first gold and ever since then these red gloves are my thing.

"I've never let them go, I have my own pairs of red gloves now and when I look down at them, it's very symbolic that I'm here to fight and give it my best shot to ride well."

Ten sliders down, 14 to go and the good news is Great Britain's Matt Weston has strengthened his grip on the gold medal.

He's posted the fastest time in all three runs and has extended his lead over second-placed Axel Jungk to +0.39 seconds.

1. Matt Weston (Great Britain) - 2:47.72
2. Axel Jungk (Germany) - 2:48.11 (+0.39)
3. Christopher Grotheer (Germany) - 2:48.47 (+0.75)
4. Wenhao Chen (China) - 2:48.64 (+0.92)
5. Amedeo Bagnis (Italy) - 2:48.67 (+0.95)

In less good news, Weston's team-mate Marcus Wyatt is sliding down the standings. He started today in seventh place but is down to 10th following a disappointing third run.

Woop, woop. That's the there's a new leader in the men's halfpipe klaxon!

Japan's Ruka Hirano lands a fantastic run full of flips and tricks that earns him a score of 90.00. That pushes American Jake Pates down to second, but there's still a long way to go in this final.

Marcus Wyatt could possibly hold that seventh place. It's such a shame because that was a good slide.

Maybe they hadn't calculated the run for these conditions. It's so disappointing for someone of his calibre to be so low down.

Marcus Wyatt was also highly fancied coming into this Olympics but it hasn’t gone for him.

He’s struggled on this highly technical track and that run puts him firmly out of medal contention.

I'd say that's Marcus Wyatt (+1.81) out of medal contention.

56.32 is the best of his three runs but he's more than a second behind third-placed Christopher Grotheer.

Holding onto his top-10 finish is the goal now.

Germany's Felix Keisinger continues with the sub-56 efforts but can't improve on his overnight position of sixth.

He's +1.18 off gold and +0.45 off the podium.

Now for another Brit. Here comes Marcus Wyatt.

Over at the men's halfpipe just four boarders have completed their first run of three, and only one of them, Jake Pates of the United States, has managed to finish their run.

He's our early leader with 77.50.

You can watch the halfpipe final on BBC Red Button and at the top of this page.

Italy's Amedeo Bagnis, who started today in fifth place, loses ground. He's now +0.95 behind Matt Weston.

But, he's still only +0.20 off the podium.

Matt Weston couldn't have had a rosier start to run three than this.

China's Wenhao Chen is the fourth slider to go sub-56 in run three but he's +0.33 seconds slower than Matt Weston's third attempt and now trails the Brit by +0.92.

Is anyone going to match - or better - Weston's run three effort?
