Nina O'Brien always skis with a lot of aggression but she does have a tendency to make a lot of mistakes and blowout.

But it's better from her and she sets the first pace.

We mentioned this a little earlier but I think it bears repeating...

Federica Brignone is not only going after a second gold medal of these Games, the 35-year-old Italian is doing so less than a year after suffering multiple leg fractures and a torn anterior cruciate ligament at the national championships last April.

She only returned to World Cup action on 20 January. Who would have thought that less than a month on, she would be pushing to claim gold medal number two of the Games?

“I’m not here to test myself, but to test my mind, my body and my leg above all,” she said. “And I’m definitely not here for a great result, but for a great result for myself.”

I don't think anybody would argue with the fact that she's already achieved that much.

Time for the second run of the women's giant slalom with Federica Brignone hoping to claim her second gold of the Games for Italy.

The top 30 from the first run with be up first, going in reverse order. So Brignone will be last up of those still in realistic medal contention.

Here's how things stand after run one...

1. Federica Brignone (Italy) 1:03.23
2. Lena Duerr (Germany) +0.34
3. Sofia Goggia (Italy) +0.36
4. Laura Colturi (Albania) +0.74
5. Sara Hector (Sweden) +0.74
6. Thea Louise Stjernesund (Norway) +0.74
7. Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) +1.02
8. Valerie Grenier (Canada) +1.03
9. Mina Fuerst Holtmann (Norway) +1.05
10. Alice Robinson (New Zealand) +1.09
11. Julia Scheib (Austria) +1.13
12. Camille Rast (Switzerland) +1.14

China's global superstar Eileen Gu qualified for the freeski big air final last night - an event in which she is the defending Olympic champion - but she has taken to social media this morning to complain about scheduling.

In reaching the final, it means she will miss a day of halfpipe training. Worth noting she is the only woman in the halfpipe field competing in another event.

"I have asked for fair options like joining one training with the snowboarders, or getting even one hour alone to train, but to no avail," she wrote on Instagram, external.

"Halfpipe is different from slope and big air, and demands its own training time accordingly.

"This decision is disappointing to me because it seems to contradict the spirit of the Games. Daring to be the only woman to compete in three events should not be penalized - making finals in one event should not disadvantage me in another.

"What kind of message does this send to future athletes who love skiing for its essence and want to compete in every event? This was a totally avoidable issue and I am saddened by the hardline stance FIS has chosen to take."

In response, FIS told BBC Sport: "Every effort has been made to facilitate the best possible training and competition schedule for athletes across the myriad FIS-governed events, but as we have already seen at these Games, for athletes who choose to compete in multiple disciplines and/or multiple events, conflicts can sometimes be inevitable."

There's still six more medals to won on day nine:

• 12:30-14:30 - Women's giant slalom
• 12:45-14:00 - Mixed team snowboard cross big final - featuring Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale
• 13:45-15:00 - Biathlon women's 10km pursuit
• 16:00-17:00 - Speed skating women's 500m
• 17:00-19:00 - Skeleton mixed team
• 17:45-20:00 - Ski jumping women's large hill individual

Plus Bruce Mouat's rink are in men's curling action against Switzerland (18:05) and Great Britain's women take on Sweden (13:05).

Mia Brookes is in snowboard slopestyle qualifying (13:15), and Luke Digby and Anastasia Vaipan-Law are in the figure skating (18:45).

New Zealand's Dane Menzies qualifies top with that 86.06 from his opening run, followed by Norway's Marcus Kleveland and Canada's Mark McMorris.

GB's Txema Mazet-Brown finishes in 27th place and therefore does not progress to the final.

We have an hour's breather now here at Livigno Snow Park, and then it's snowboard cross time!

Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo will grab the headlines, but credit has to go to his team-mates too for giving him a head start over the rest of the field.

That was Norway's 11th gold medal of these Games - five more than any other nation.

Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo has time to celebrate before he crosses the finish line.

France are the next team to finish, 22.2 seconds behind, while Italy grab the bronze medal.

We're not just watching the best in the world, we're watching the best there's ever been. History-maker, record-breaker and becomes the most successful winter Olympian the sport has ever known.

What a moment for Klaebo and his teammates and for everyone to witness this majestic man who just doesn't know how to lose.

Four out of four with two races to go, surely he can't? Six races and six golds?

Finland and Italy battling for Bronze - only one can be on podium. Is it going to come down to a lung bursting sprint?

Only 2.4km to go. Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo is nearly there.

The gap between Lovera and Klaebo was down to six seconds but I think the early drive has taken it out of Lovera.

The gap is now up to 20 seconds.

It looks like Norway are on their way to gold unless Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo somehow crashes out.

After all his hard work in the early stages of his anchor leg, Victor Lovera is suddenly miles behind the Norwegian - 19.5 seconds to be precise.

Klaebo is composed and calm. I think that first gold really settled him down.

There is so much expectation on him at this Olympics but the early gold and the manner in which he did it in the skiathlon has settled it.

He has been brilliant so far and we'd have expected nothing less.

Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo slides downhill like he's just out on a regular Sunday-morning walk. What pressure?!

But as soon as he gets to the bottom, he grits his teeth and puts the graft in to hurl himself back up the slopes.

France's Lovera has closed the gap on Klaebo. A fantastic effort.

An incredible first half of the loop from Lovera - it was 12 seconds and now looks less than six.

But how much energy has he just used up?

Victor Lovera of France sets out in his anchor leg 12 seconds behind Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo.

Is that too big of a gap? Maybe not! The Frenchman is soaring.

Klaebo is 7.5km away from Olympic history - from another gold for him and another gold for Norway.
