Netherlands' Chris Huizinga is into the bronze medal position after a strong skate. It's highly unlikely he'll still be there by the end of this final but he's given himself a chance...

2. Peder Konshaug, Norway - 6:11.31

We are now seeing an influx of talented athletes into this sport.

Nils van der Poel has put a new view of how speed skating should be done.

Van der Poel won gold medals in the 5,000 metres and the 10,000 metres at the Beijing Games before retiring just a month later at the age of 25.

Fans of hurtling down a track feet first at 80mph, your time is now - it's almost time for the last two runs of luge's men's singles.

After two runs yesterday, Germany's Max Langenhan leads the way with an accumulated time of 1:45.826.

The reigning world champion is above Austria's Jonas Mueller, winner of three World Cups this season, who is second with 1:45.988.

Dominik Fischnaller of Italy is third with 1:46.124, while Langenhan's compatriot and two-time Olympic champion Felix Loch is eighth of 25 athletes with a time of 1:46.745.

They're almost ready to go again in the men's 5,000m speed skating final.

Next up are Chris Huizinga of the Netherlands and Austria's Alexander Farthofer. Will either be able to knock Riccardo Lorello out of the gold medal position?

Team GB have got to close the door in that game. Go back to camp, refuel and speak to the coaches, then come out strong.

Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat have to bring their A game against Italy tonight.

Lindsey Vonn may have crashed out but USA still took the gold with Breezy Johnson edging out Germany's Emma Aicher by 0.04 seconds, while Italian home favourite Sofia Goggia secured bronze.

While we wait for the speed skating final to resume, a reminder of the day's biggest - and most heart-breaking story...

Legendary skier Lindsey Vonn was competing despite rupturing her ACL, had completed two practice runs in recent days but there was to be no dream ending.

The USA skier crashed out early in the downhill final and had to be airlifted off the piste in Cortina after being tended to for a lengthy period.

Italy's Riccardo Lorello still has the time to beat at the halfway stage of this 5,000m final.

The fourth and fifth pairs never came close to challenging his impressive time.

There will be a 20-minute break as the ice gets a bit of TLC to make sure it's in top condition for the remainder of the final.

When things resume, we'll start to see some of the big medal favourites....

1. Riccardo Lorello, Italy - 6:09.22
2. Peder Konshaug, Norway - 6:11.31
3. Stijn van de Bunt, Netherlands - 6:12.94
4. Gabriel Gross, Germany - 6:14.40
5. Marcel Bosker, Netherlands - 6:17.47
6. Sigurd Henriksen, Norway - 6:18.24

Team GB's Bruce Mouat, speaking to BBC Sport after their loss against Switzerland: "We learn a lot from every game we play. Probably overthrows, that is the key learning for us, and we will come back in a couple of hours and play better against Italy."

On facing the Games hosts Italy later today: "Looking forward to it. The energy will be quite electric, and we will thrive off that. Looking forward to playing them and causing some drama in the stands, hopefully.

Team GB

Team GB's Jen Dodds, speaking to BBC Sport after their loss against Switzerland: "Obviously, probably slightly disappointed with the performance. We kind of put ourselves against the wall a wee bit. I had a couple of overthrows with my first and that put us in bother.

"Going to correct that for the next game and I think weight control is going to be key out there. We're still in a good position.

"I think we are going to take the next game as a real opportunity to work on the things that we struggled with today, which is mostly weight control. Looking forward to getting back out there."

Stijn van de Bunt almost made a mistake - his legs were burning like hell.

In the last turn he almost fell over. His coach was saying 'you need to put your arm on the back and get more relaxed'.

The lead is changing with every pair that goes out right now - but the home fans will hope it doesn't carry on that way.

That because Riccardo Lorello, not only an Italian but from Milan, has put himself top of the pile with a brilliant effort.

He was more than three seconds quicker than previous leader Stijn van de Bunt of the Netherlands, who slips to third with Norway's Peder Konshaug not far behind Lorello.

1. Riccardo Lorello, Italy - 6:09.22
2. Peder Konshaug, Norway - 6:11.31
3. Stijn van de Bunt, Netherlands - 6:12.94
4. Gabriel Gross, Germany - 6:14.40
5. Marcel Bosker, Netherlands - 6:17.47
6. Sigurd Henriksen, Norway - 6:18.24

Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds were eager to preserve their 100% record, both to further stamp their authority on the competition and to ensure they have the hammer - the right to throw last - in Monday's semi (18:05 GMT) and in whichever medal match they find themselves in on Tuesday.

The British duo will have another chance to do both of those things when they conclude their round-robin matches against Italy at 18:05 - live on the BBC.

That was a nice match and the Swiss can celebrate finally. Great Britain suffer their first loss in this round robin, it doesn't affect their qualification but that one will hurt.

Perfect from Switzerland. They clinch two stones in the final end to win the match and keep their semi-final hopes alive.

That's a first defeat for Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds, who are already through to the last four.

Here comes Jen Dodds with GB's final throw. What can she do here?

She's trying to curl it onto the button, but it clips a yellow stone and it means Switzerland have the chance to grab two here.

Time-out for Switzerland, who have the hammer in this final end.

As things stand, GB have one red stone right on the centre of the button. It's sandwiched slightly between two yellow Swiss stones.

They've got two stones left to throw, while the Brits have one.

For the Swiss pair, the married couple, they are fighting to stay in here.
