Here comes Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo.

Just 7.5km stands between him and a historic ninth Olympic gold.

France's Desloges has closed on Norway.

What a talent this Frenchman is, he could be the star of his games in four years time.

Frenchman Mathis Desloges is pushing hard to make up ground on Norway and he's succeeding, but is the gap too big?

He's pulled within 13 seconds of Norway's Einar Hedegart.

Little by little, the Norway lead is growing - 16 seconds. Just Klaebo left to go on the anchor leg.

This cross-country relay hasn't been quite as entertaining as the women's race yesterday...

Not yet anyway.

So that's the first two legs done in the men's cross-country relay and it's looking very good indeed for Norway.

Martin Loewstroem Nyenget has opened up a 10 second gap on the rest of the field as he sets Einar Hedegart on his way.

Finland, Italy, France, the United States and Canada are all still in the running, though.

Another gorgeous sunny day in Cortina. Those who have been following the live texts will know that’s not my favourite kind of weather here.

You have to layer up because it’ll be freezing later but currently it might as well be t-shirt weather and I’m wearing thermals, more thermals, fleece and coat. What are you supposed to do?

It looks like I will never get the balance right.

Organisers have been preparing for potential bad weather up in the mountains next week by rescheduling some of the qualifying events.

The men's and women's snowboard slopestyle preliminaries have been moved forward to today, with heavy snow forecast in Livigno.

In World Cup events, when it has been impossible for the finals to take place, medals have been decided by the qualifying results.

The IOC told me today that they do not have an answer yet on what their contingency plans are if the finals cannot take place as planned.

Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo will race the final leg for Norway so he will be hoping his team-mates put in a proper performance to set him up nicely for a record ninth Olympic gold.

The cross-country relay sees all the teams start together, and the athletes hand over to their team-mates by tagging them inside an exchange zone.

The first two legs are skied using the 'classic' technique, while the last two legs are done in 'freestyle'.

The classic method requires athletes to move back and forth along pre-made parallel tracks in the snow, while the freestyle technique is faster with athletes allowed to move their skis from side to side.

The first run of the women's giant slalom has now finished, the leading contenders were done some while back but there are more than 70 athletes competing so it takes a while to get through them all.

Anyway, the end result is that Italy’s Federica Brignone will go into the second run, which begins at 12:30 GMT, with a lead of 0.34 seconds over Germany's Lena Duerr while Sofia Goggia, also of Italy, a further 0.12 seconds back in third.

Sweden’s Sara Hector, Thea Louise Stjernesund of Norway and Albania’s Lara Colturi are all tied for fourth.

Mikaela Shiffrin of the US is seventh and pre-race favourite Julia Scheib is 11th - but with just 1.13 seconds to try and make up on Brignone, the Austrian could still make a play for the medals.

It’s not been Tzema Mazet-Brown’s day.

He fell again on that pesky penultimate jump, landing awkwardly, and couldn’t carry on. He walked up the last jump and received a huge applause from the crowd as he popped over the top.

He may not have reached a final, but he can call himself an Olympian, and that’s more than most of us can.

We’ve had confirmation this morning that Olympic champion Matt Weston will partner Tabby Stoecker in the mixed skeleton event - the new event for this year’s Games.

Marcus Wyatt will pair up with Freya Tarbit.

Stoecker finished fifth in the women’s event yesterday while Tarbit was seventh. Wyatt was ninth in the men’s event a couple of days ago.

Weston and Stoecker are seeded top and that means they’ll go off last in the 15-team competition. Tarbit and Wyatt will go 12th. Should be an absolutely cracking race.

It will all get under way at around 17:00 GMT.

Norway stand out as clear favourites for the gold medal, but they failed to defend their title at the Beijing Games four years ago,

However, no country has won gold more in this event than Sweden. With six titles to their name already, rising star Edvin Anger could prove vital in their hunt for a podium finish after claiming bronze at the 2025 World Championships.

France will also be hoping to make the podium for a fourth consecutive Winter Olympics, having finished third place in each of the past three Games, while Italy will be looking to get a taste of relay gold for the third time.

We could see Winter Olympic history be made very shortly.

The men's 4 x 7.5km cross-country relay has just got under way and Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo will be racing as part of Norway's team.

Should the Norwegians win, then he will become the outright record holder for the most Winter Olympic gold medals. It would be his NINTH Olympic gold.

Here we go then. It's time for the gold medal final.

Mikael Kingsbury against Ikuma Horishima. A mere 225m to decide the men's dual moguls Olympic champion...

Hazel Irvine has just been through the best of what's coming up on TV. Worth flagging that British pair Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale go in the mixed team snowboard cross from 12:45 GMT.

Bankes will be keen to put behind her the disappointment of Friday's quarter-final exit in the individual event.

Another wee nugget of note from the curling... Olympic champions Sweden are in big, big bother. They've lost again this morning and have just one win from their opening five matches.

Niklas Edin and his rink were thought to be the main rivals of Team GB in the men's event, but they need to win their final four games and hope for favours elsewhere to even reach the semi-finals.

Silver goes to Norway's Sturla Holm Laegreid, while Frenchman Emilien Jacquelin holds on for bronze.
