The moguls course is just over 200m long, is incredibly steep and features artificial bumps that the skiers must navigate with tight turns and aerial jumps. Athletes are judged on their speed, turns and aerial manoeuvres.

Earlier we had the qualification stage with 20 skiers progressing to the final.

The top 10 after the first run went through directly. The remaining skiers then had a second run and again the top 10 scorers, taking their best score across the two runs, advanced.

Scores are reset before the final, which is split into two phases. The top eight from the first, Final 1, go through to Final 2 - and it is solely what happens in Final 2 that decides the medals.

Italy's Federica Brignone remains at the head of the women's Super-G standings after 20 athletes.

Romane Miradoli of France is in second 0.41 seconds back with Austria's Cornelia Huetter third.

Downhill champion Breezy Johnson of the United States crashed early in her run but is soon back on her feet.

Matt Weston was left fist pumping in frustration after run one.

But the second one saw fist pumps of elation. What a statement run that was from the 28-year-old gold-medal favourite.

BRING ON TOMORROW.

Canada and Switzerland are two of the teams to watch in the women's curling, and they both got off to winning starts in the round robin this morning.

Switzerland, seeking a first-ever women's gold in the event, beat the hosts Italy 7-4; Canada's world champions, hoping to help curling great Rachel Homan to the Olympic title that has so far eluded her, beat Denmark 10-4.

The other two matches finished 8-4: Sweden beating Japan, and the United States defeating South Korea.

There are 10 teams in the group in total, and the two to sit out this morning, Great Britain and China, face each other in the evening session from 18:05 GMT.

Everyone plays each other once in the round robin - meaning nine matches for each team - with the top four at the end going into the semi-finals.

Britain's men, who opened up with a 9-4 win over China in their round robin programme yesterday, are back in action this afternoon against Sweden (13:05 GMT).

The first medals are the day will come in men's moguls with the final set to get under way shortly at 11:15 GMT.

I was really impressed with Weston's second run. He was totally in tune with the sled, you can see in the feet position and the shoulders.

The questions were answered, [from the questions asked] by the Germans Axel Jungk and Christopher Grotheer who were pushing for the podium. I am very impressed.

I think he's happy with that and so he should be! That was an outstanding run.

He loaded on to the sled well and sorted out the issue he had on corner 2 and he allowed the sled to do the work - it looked like he hardly moves at all and he slides down to build speed.

What an outstanding run.

Never in doubt!

Matt Weston smashes the track record and he's got a 0.3-second lead at the end of the first day.

He clenches his fist and punches the air in celebration. That was brilliant from the British gold medal hopeful!

A time of 55.88 on his second run for an overall time of 1:52.09. Sizeable lead with two runs to go.

Fantastic run from Axel Jungk and he replaces his Germany team-mate Christopher Grotheer at the top of the standings.

Another track record, 56.12, to give him an overall time of 1:52.39.

What have you got Matt Weston?

Italy's Federica Brignone is still at the top of the standings after 12 athletes of the women's Super-G ahead of Austrian pair Cornelia Huetter and Ariane Raedler.

Three of the leading hopes- Emma Aicher, Ester Ledecka and Sofia Goggia all failed to finish but there are still some big names to come, including downhill champion Breezy Johnson.

And there it is!

Germany's Christopher Grotheer - the defending champion - takes the lead with a track-record time of 56.16.

Three athletes still to go in the second run, including Britain's Matt Weston.

It could be that the conditions are allowing the ice to speed up. The track has been recently maintained between the runs, so it depends how much the ice has degraded when leading group come down in about 20 minutes.

We know that this track keeps it speed relatively well so we could see another track record.

Really good run from Chen Wenhao, his time of 56.25 is the second quickest we've seen so far today - only Matt Weston has gone quicker.

It means the Chinese athlete moves into the lead, Marcus Wyatt is now down to third with Germany's Felix Keisinger also ahead of him.

Chen's 1:52.68 is the new time to beat.

Earlier in a very tense media briefing, IOC spokesperson Mark Adams defended their decision to ban Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych from wearing a helmet bearing images of those killed during the Russian invasion.

Adams said that if they allowed athletes to wear kit commemorating those killed in war, it would open the Games to exploitation.

"There are according to the Red Cross, 130 conflicts going on at any one time," he said on Thursday morning. "We can't have them all in competition.

"The field of play could become a field of expression, you could see it would lead to chaos. We cannot have athletes have pressure put on them by political masters to make expressions during competition.

"We do our best to create a level playing field, I make no apologies for that."

Adams also denied that the IOC had been pressured by the Russian Olympic Committee or government to ban Heraskevych, and that he would have access to an ad-hoc commission of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) should he wish to appeal.

Heraskevych had been banned for contravening athlete guidelines, rather than because of displaying political propaganda, he said.

That run from Marcus was really clean. There was no real big mistakes but a couple of little brushes on the wall.

He wasn't doing much on the sled, so is it a set up? Is it a runner issue where he has gone for the wrong runners today, which isn't allowing him to build speed?

A really smooth run from Team GB's Marcus Wyatt but such are the fine margins of this sport that probably means his chances of a podium-finish tomorrow are already unlikely.

Well, Marcus Wyatt is the new leader - but only just.

A clean run but his time of 56.69 is slower than his first. It means a combined time of 1:53.21 and a lead of only 0.01 seconds with the top six from run one still to come.

Federica Brignone has recovered from multiple leg fractures and a torn anterior cruciate ligament sustained at the 2025 Italian Championships last April to take her place at the start-line at her home Olympics.

A medal would be a fairytale for the five-time Olympian.

Make that a three-way tie for the lead between South Korea's Jung Seunggi and China's Lin Qinwei and Yin Zheng.

Here comes Great Britain's Marcus Wyatt. Will he be able to take the lead outright?
