Italy's Federica Brignone said she had no expectations of success before going into the alpine ski women's Super-G - in which she won gold just 10 months after sustaining multiple leg fractures and a torn anterior cruciate ligament at her national championships.

What were your expectations today?

"Actually, nothing in terms of a result. I was expecting just from my skiing to be really confident and try to make speed every turn and be, not perfect, but to let my skis go and be smooth with the terrain. So I tried to be always in front of the slope and to attack. I didn't expect anything else."

After everything you've been through in the last year to get here, can you believe it?

"No, never. That's why maybe I did it, because today I was an underdog and I was an outsider, but I know what I can do with my skis and I tried really my best."

And what about doing it here in Italy, your home country?

"It's crazy. I think I will realise it with a bit of time. I mean, I have the experience, so I know exactly what I did. I think I will enjoy it with my team and my family."

Disappointment for Huw Nightingale in a very snowy Livigno.

Fingers crossed he can brush himself down quickly though, because his Games are not over. He'll be back with Charlotte Bankes in the mixed team event on Sunday.

They have pedigree in that, too. In 2023, they won the World Championship title and they won a World Cup gold on Italian snow last year.

The final 16 riders in the snowboard cross are now confirmed.

Top seed Aidan Chollet of France and his younger brother Jonas are safely through along with American 44-year-old Nick Baumgartner and Canada's Eliot Grondin but World Cup leader Adam Lambert of Australia is out.

The next knockout round comes up shortly

No joy for Britain’s Huw Nightingale in the first knockout round.of the men's snowboard cross.

Despite being one of the two seeded riders in his four-man heat, the 24-year-old from Bolton finishes last with defending champion Alessandro Haemmerle winning it ahead of American Jake Vedder.

Nightingale will now concentrate on the mixed team event with Charlotte Bankes.

Those of you who’ve watched curling before these Games might be wondering why the four-foot ring around the button is green rather than the usual red.

Well, turns out it’s a nod to the local Ladin population, with white, blue and green being the colours of their flag.

BBC Two

The television coverage is about to switch to BBC Two, so get your remote control handy for 13:00. On Two, we'll have the snowboard cross for you, featuring Britain's Huw Nightingale.

Over on the Red Button, we've got the start of the men's curling round robin match between Great Britain and Sweden - a 2022 Olympic final rematch. That will switch to BBC One after 14:00.

If you're in the UK, you can also see both events via the 'watch and listen' tab on this page.

After a comfortable opening win against a mis-matched China, Team GB will have a more thorough test of their abilities today as they come up against the Swedish rink who denied them gold four years ago.

Niklas Edin is considered one of the greatest ever and, although Bruce Mouat has had his number of late, the Sweden skip comes alive in an Olympics and has the full set of medals.

These are arguably the best two teams in competition - albeit Sweden lost to Italy in their opener - and will be expected to be in the medal matches, with the likes of the hosts and Canada also in that conversation.

Mouat was much more like himself in win over the Chinese last night - with 93% shot success. The GB skip bounced back from mixed doubles medal disappointment in Beijing to win silver in this event and will be looking to go one better here.

Frida Karlsson crosses the line and collapses in a heap after a stunning effort.

The Swedish skier posts a time of 22:49.2 - that is not going to be beaten. Karlsson is going to claim her second gold of these Games.

Ebba Andersson is second, some 46.6 seconds behind. USA's Jessie Diggins is in agony as she finishes but she's on for bronze as things stand.

Great Britain's Anna Pryce has finished and remains in 18th for now. Really good showing from her as well.

Nick Baumgartner of the USA was first up in the boardercross and you might remember his story from Beijing 2022.

Then aged 40, he finished 10th in the men's individual event and, competing at his fourth Games, thought that was his chance of an Olympic medal gone.

But, he then teamed up with Lindsey Jacobellis in the mixed team event, and they won gold - with a combined age of 76!

He's back, four years on, at the age of 44. And it STILL might not be his last Olympics.

"I think it would be cool to be able to retire on home soil," he said earlier in the week. "So we know what that means? 2034. Salt Lake City, Utah. I will do everything I can to be there."

Frida Karlsson has extended her lead even further at the 8.6km mark - she's more than 38 seconds clear of team-mate Ebba Andersson now.

Incredible effort from the 10km + 10km Skiathlon gold medallist.

Meanwhile, Great Britain's Anna Pryce is performing well. She was 18th at her last checkpoint.

Age is just a number for American Nick Baumgartner who at the age of 44 has become the oldest male snowboarder in Olympic history after he lined up in today's snowboard cross.

It is a fifth Games for Baumgartner, who won mixed team gold four years ago in Beijing with Lindsey Jacobellis, and was fourth in the men's individual event in 2018.

“Getting it done sends an important message," he says. "It doesn’t matter how old you are, it doesn’t matter where you come from. I’m from a 400-foot ski hill in the Midwest. I’m 44 years old and I’m still dangerous.”

He will go in the sixth of eight heats in the first knockout round needing a top two finish to advance.

We mentioned Frida Karlsson a little earlier when talking about the potentional for a Swedish sweep of the medal.

Well, Karlsson is flying round at the moment. At the 4.9km marker, Karlsson has a lead of more than 23 seconds over her nearest competitor.

Her team-mate Ebba Andersson is third with Moa Ilar fifth - at the 4.9km point, I must stress.

The leading time for those who have finished is 24:07.1 from Canada's Alison Mackie. But we'd expect that to change...

We are getting ready for the knockout phase in the men’s snowboard cross to start at 12:45.

All of the 32 riders took part in the seeding runs earlier and the draw for the first knockout round, which will have eight heats with four riders, is complete.

With everyone bidding for the best position as they go down the course and only two to go through from each heat, there are thrills and spills guaranteed.

Britain’s Huw Nightingale will go in heat seven alongside defending champion Alessandro Haemmerle of Austria and American pair Jake Vedder and Cody Winters.

France’s Aidan Chollet who clocked the fastest time in the opening heat goes in heat one against his team-mate Merlin Surget, Germany’s Niels Conradt and David Pickl of Austria.

A small update on the big story of the morning - Ukraine's Vladyslav Heraskevych being banned from the skeleton over helmet featuring images of athletes killed during Russia's invasion of his country.

Heraskevych had also seen his Winter Olympics accreditation withdrawn - but the IOC has now reinstated it following a request from its president Kirsty Coventry, although as it stands, he still cannot compete in any events.

An IOC statement reads: "On an exceptional basis, after the very respectful conversation with the athlete, Coventry asked the IOC Disciplinary Commission (DC) Chair to re-consider the withdrawal of Vladyslav Heraskevych’s accreditation for the Milano Cortina 2026 Games.

"The Chair of the IOC DC agreed to the request, which means Mr Heraskevych can continue to be at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games despite not being able to compete."

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused the International Olympic Committee of playing "into the hands of aggressors" with the decision to ban Vladyslav Heraskevych.

Skeleton pilot Heraskevych was banned this morning for for continuing to wear a helmet featuring images of athletes killed during Russia's invasion of his home country, which the IOC says breaks its rules.

In a long statement posted on X,, external Zelensky said: "Sport shouldn’t mean amnesia, and the Olympic movement should help stop wars, not play into the hands of aggressors.

"Unfortunately, the decision of the International Olympic Committee to disqualify Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych says otherwise."

They [Woods and Kingsbury] had the exact same score overall, but 60% of it is dominated by how they ski the moguls and the technique. He got a higher technical score.

This was David v Goliath, it is unbelievable scenes as he takes gold over the god of the sport. It was so deserved.

Cooper Woods is overcome with emotion.

"That's as good as it gets," the Australian says, shaking his head in disbelief.

Mikael Kingsbury crosses the line in 22.79 seconds, he seems happy but the Canadians in the crowd don't look overly happy...

Is it enough?

It is! Perhaps unsurprisingly, Kingsbury knew more than those watching! Gold medal for now for Kingsbury, a score of 83.71 edges him ahead of Ikuma Horishima.

Only Cooper Woods can stop Kingsbury claiming a second Olympic gold medal now...
