Britain's Adele Nicoll has just gone in the monobob and she could be in action again at the Commonwealth Games this summer - in the shot put.

Nicoll's immediate focus is firmly on bobsleigh, but making a mark in the 2026 Games for Wales is at the back of her mind.

"I would love to put the Welsh vest on and compete at the Commonwealth Games," said Nicoll.

"I genuinely think I'm able to, we'll just have to see what my plans for post Milan-Cortina are like.

"I'll never say no, will I?"

Read the full story on our website.

Heat one done for Adele Nicoll and it's a tidy run from the Welshwoman.

She's 1.10 seconds behind leader Laura Nolte of Germany, but she looks delighted as she emerges from the sled. She's in 14th as things stand.

Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme... it's bobsled time!

Well, it's monobob time. That doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

This is just the second time the women's monobob has featured at the Winter Olympics, with American Kaillie Humphries the first champion.

As the name suggests, it's one athlete all on their own - pushing, driving and breaking.

The first heat is under way and there's already been a track record set. A rapid 59.44 seconds by Germany's Laura Nolte is the time to beat.

Really well played from GB.

Kept control of this, two points in the first end, Germany have been tough and we knew they would be but they're not quite matching Great Britain player for player.

It's all looking very good for GB - leading by three at the half-way point.

Team GB's Mateo Jeannesson withdrew from the men's dual moguls yesterday after a heel injury flared up during his individual event earlier in the week.

“About four months ago I injured my heel on a training camp in Sweden. Initially I thought I could just push through and it would heal, but it didn’t. In December I had a scan and they found a crack in the heel," he said.

"I worked hard to rehab and get in condition ahead of the Games. When I arrived and trained on the Olympic course, unfortunately I didn’t feel 100%, but I tried to ski through the pain.

"The impacts are hard on this course and things may have been a little different if conditions had been softer.

"Ahead of the dual moguls, I have taken the decision with my coaches not to compete. You have to be able to give it 100% in our sport to have a chance, and I didn’t want to injure myself further.

"The journey these past few months has been very challenging and full of ups and downs. I have truly learnt a lot from the last few months, however, and I am very grateful that I got to compete in these Olympics. It has given me invaluable experience for the future and the next part of my journey.

"Now I’ll take some time off to get fully healed, but I’m extremely motivated to come back stronger than ever. Huge thanks to my coach and support team. I’ll see you all next year at the World Champs!"

Could that be decisive? Team GB manage to steal one in the fifth end, going into the interval with a three-shot lead.

After dominating moguls skiing for more than a decade, Canada's Mikael Kingsbury will be relishing the opportunity to claim one final Winter Olympic medal at Livigno Aerials and Moguls Park.

The four-time Olympic medallist has had to wait until his fourth and final Games to showcase his head-to-head moguls racing talent - and the World Cup winner goes into the event as favourite.

The 33-year-old is widely known as ‘the king of moguls’ but he was dethroned in the men’s individual event by the narrowest of margins.

The Canadian was tied for gold on 83.71 points but lost in a tiebreak by 0.7 due to his inferior turns score. Cooper Woods upset the odds to take that gold on Thursday and is now seeking to become the first Australian to win two Winter titles during one Games.

Japan's Ikuma Horishima could put a spanner in the works though. The 28-year-old has won a medal of every colour in this discipline at the World Championships, also defeating Kingsbury in the process of claiming his only gold in 2017.

Canada's Julien Viel arrives at Milano Cortina after securing his first career World Cup victory in January.

Following in the monobob's footsteps, the dual moguls are the latest addition to the Winter Olympics despite being part of the World Cup circuit since 1995.

The event features two skiers competing side-by-side on adjacent courses, with the highest scorer advancing to the next round.

Progress to the final starts with a round of 32, then a round of 16, followed by the quarter-finals and semi-finals. The winners of each semi-final advance to the 'big final', while the losers enter the 'small final'.

In addition, a maximum of 30 athletes will already be seeded by their performance in the individual moguls event, with the top two receiving first-round byes and being placed on opposite sides of the draw.

Qualification for the men's slopestyle is under way in Livigno this morning, with Great Britain's Txema Mazet Brown trying to land himself a place in the final.

The 19-year-old was born on Reunion - an island off the coast of Madagascar - and he grew up in New Zealand, but he swapped to represent GB at the start of last season.

Slopestyle sees athletes judged on tricks performed on a course made up of three rail features and three jumps.

The riders are allowed two runs, with the best one used to determine their ranking. Only the top 12 progress.

It is absolutely bouncing in the Cortina Curling Stadium this morning, incidentally.

Italy have just nabbed four in their game against Norway and the place has just exploded into life. It's like a night at the darts...

All of the stones are that the guys are playing with are numbered one-eight and you can play them in any order you want.

Generally, they'll [each] pick two stones that are very well-matched and throw them for the whole game, but if one of them isn't as well-matched as the other, you are able to give it to someone else in your team.

Good morning from the mountains!

It's a gorgeous start to the day here in Livigno, though judging by some of the clouds starting to form over the peaks, I'm not sure how long we'll be seeing that sun for. Anyway, that's enough of my Carol Kirkwood impression.

We've got some last-minute men's snowboard slopestyle qualification action this morning. It was originally scheduled for tomorrow, but has been brought forward to today, as has the women's later on this afternoon, due to the weather forecast (oh, Carol's back).

It means it's a jam-packed day here at the snow park, with the mixed snowboard cross finals later and men's freeski big air qualis tonight. Good job there's some half-decent coffee in the press centre.

Tell you what, if Bobby Lammie sweeps any harder, he's going to wear holes in this ice sheet.

His curling pals describe the 29-year-old as a "freak of nature" because of the weights he shifts and the leaps he can perform in the gym. And he is bringing all of those physical attributes to the ice.

BBC Red Button

And here's what's on the Red Button this morning:

• Now: Curling: Great Britain v Germany
• 0945: Men's snowboard slopestyle run 1
• 1005: Men's dual moguls
• 1100: Men's snowboard slopestyle run 2
• 1150: Biathlon men's 12.5 pursuit

BBC Two

Here's the plan for BBC Two this morning, as the curling now switches to the Red Button until 09:45. Viewers in the UK can also see the action via the 'watch live' button above:

• 09:00: Alpine skiing: Women’s Giant Slalom - Run 1: Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) and Austria’s Julia Scheib among those to watch. Run 2 on Olympics Extra (Red Button).
• 09:45: Curling: Men’s round robin - Great Britain v Germany.
• 10:50: Biathlon: Men’s 12.5km pursuit.
• 11:00: Freestyle skiing: Men’s dual moguls finals.
• 11:20: Cross-country skiing: Men’s 4x7.5km relay. Johannes Hosflot Klaebo will become the most successful Winter Olympian ever if Norway clinch gold.

No, not that LSD...

In curling terms, we're taking about Last Stone Draw, which happens before every match in the round-robin stages.

Logan Gray, one of BBC Sport's curling commentators, is sitting beside me at the Cortina Curling Stadium and can explain...

"Two members of the rink play a draw - one clockwise, one anti-clockwise. The team with the smallest aggregate distance to the button wins the hammer, which is the right to throw last in the first end.

"How important is that? Vital. Bruce Mouat's rink have won 85% of the matches in which they've won the LSD. It also serves as a tie-breaker at the end at the round-robin stages, so it can be the difference between reaching the semi-finals or not."

Once we get to the semis, the hammer is decided by the ranking of the teams after the round-robin stage, so no LSD is played.

Welshwoman Adele Nicoll will become the first Briton to compete in monobob today.

Not only can she call herself a Winter Olympian, but she's a three-time British shot put champion and she represented Wales at the Commonwealth Games in 2022.

Nicolls will be the 16th athlete to slide down the track in heat one.

A nice and easy end for Team Mouat, there, taking a comfortable two to edge back in front of Germany. On we go.

Mikaela Shiffrin's Games didn't get off to the best start.

The superstar slalom skier failed to podium in the women's team combined, despite team-mate Breezy Johnson giving her the best possible chance with a superb opening downhill run.

She DNF'd (did not finish) in both the giant slalom and slalom at the last Olympics in 2022, so it will be interesting too see what kind of Shiffrin turns up today.

We've got more giant slalom coming up today. This time it's the women's turn.

Medals will be decided across two giant slalom runs which take place over two courses on the same slope - the first of which is belatedly under way after a technical issue.

The skiers have to pass through a series of gates on each course, with only the top 30 athletes from the first course advancing to the second run.

Each competitor's two run times will be added together at the end of the event and the fastest combined total will decide who features on the podium.
