Reigning Olympic champion Benjamin Karl is through to the final!

The Austrian is guaranteed a medal after edging Tim Mastnak of Slovenia in the second semi-final.

They were so synchronised until the end!

That was breathless. Two contrasting styles and you have the melodic style of Kim Sang-kyum.

Defending champions Norway have moved ahead after the first leg, helped by a flawless shooting display from Martin Uldal.

Italy have dropped to third after Tommaso Giacomel had to use his spare rounds on the shooting range.

It could have been worse, Sweden's Sebastian Samuelsson had a nightmare on the range, failing to hit his targets and subsequently having to do two penalty loops.

From just a second behind the leaders, the Swedes are now a minute and a half back.

We looked set for a photo finish but Kim Sang-kyum just got his nose over the line and pips Bulgaria's Tervel Zamfirov to a place in the final.

But who will the Korean face? Time for the second semi-final.

It's back-to-back action here in the men and women's parallel giant slalom.

Here is how the men's semi-final will go:

Tervel Zamfirov [Bulagaria] v Kim Sang-kyum [Korea]

Tim Mastnak [Slovenia] v Benjamin Karl [Austria]

Elisa Caffont got off to a great start, but Zuzana Maderova absolutely powered down the rest of the course and she finishes 0.45 seconds ahead of the Italian.

The Czech rider punches the air as she secures her spot in the gold-medal final.

So it will be an all-Italian match-up for bronze, with Lucia Dalmasso taking on Caffont.

It's not all over for Italy's Lucia Dalmasso. She will have the chance to go for bronze later on.

Sabine Payer will contest a gold or a silver in the final! She looks remarkably calm.

A late surge by Italy's Lucia Dalmasso, but it's Sabine Payer who crosses the line first.

The Austrian has a huge smile on her face. She knows she is guaranteed a gold or silver medial.

The first biathlon of these Games is under way with Italy and France currently leading the way in the mixed 4x6km relay.

France took silver, just behind Norway in 2022, and will be hoping to go one better today. It's the hosts out in front early on, though, as they reach the second shooting point.

These parallel giant slalom head-to-heads come thick and fast! We're going back to the women's now for the semi-finals.

Benjamin Karl has done it again. At the bottom half of the section his glide is incredible.

Benjamin Karl pips it and he progresses into the semi-final.

Can he defend his Olympic title? He's got a very good chance.

Save the best quarter-final to last?

It's Austria's Andreas Prommegger against compatriot and defending champion Benjamin Karl.

The red course is really giving people problems.

Italy are dealt another blow with Mirko Felicetti now knocked out by Tim Mastnak of Slovenia.

That was Italy's gold medal for Roland Fischnaller and they have just seen it stolen from them.

Another upset!!

Reigning world champion Roland Fischnaller is out.

He will be really upset with that race.

Just too many mistakes. He is hitting his arms against his legs in frustration.

In contrast, Kim Sang-kyum of Korea, who progresses to the semi-final, has a massive smile on his face.

Bulagaria's Tervel Zamfirov has taken the first spot in the men's semi-final by finishing 0.03 seconds faster than Canada's Arnaud Gaudet.

The semi-final for the women's parallel giant slalom will take place in about 15 minutes, but first we have the men's quarter-final.

And what a final quarter-final race ...

Japan's Tsubaki Miki has edged out Italy's Elisa Caffont's by 0.02 seconds to take that final semi-final place.

That is going to hurt Caffont.
