Luke is already smiling before the music finished. No sign of the troubled build-up.

Yes team! Come on! So much better than at the European Championships. I was holding my breath for most of that.

It's been a tough preparation for Anastasia Vaipan-Law and Luke Digby. They couldn't practice twists or lifts. Luke has an injury to his wrist cartilage.

What connects the pairs figure skating event, and Dundee Football Club?

Luke Digby, in action for Team GB tonight with partner Ana Vaipan-Law, is the brother of former Ipswich and Cambridge United midfielder Paul Digby, who now plays for the Scottish Premiership club.

"People say we must have been competitive, but there was an age gap and we were in different sports," says Luke of growing up with his footballer brother. "It was never competition against each other, we were on a journey together.

"My mum was the key part - she would take me to skating, then I'd finish and she would be off to take my brother to football.

"He still gives me advice, there is always support - whatever sport you are in there is pressure."

Dundee United fans have representation in this pairing too - Vaipan-Law's boyfriend is Tangerines captain Ross Graham.

It's nearly time for Anastasia Vaipan-Law and Luke Digby to take to the ice in the figure skating pairs short program.

The British team are due on the ice at 20:26 GMT.

Nine couples have completed their short program and it's Canada's Lia Pereira and Trennt Michaud (74.60 points) who lead the standings.

Only the top 16 pairs out of 19 will qualify for Monday's free skate and a shot at a medal.

As it stands, Vaipan-Law and Digby will be into the final with a score of 64.08 or more.

One is not what they wanted, but it's what Team GB have got out of this end.

Two to go and we're tied at 4-4 with the Swiss having the hammer in the ninth. Tense stuff, this.

Norway's Birk Ruud (currently in third place) is the defending champion and already has one gold to his name at Milan-Cortina after winning the slopestyle.

The 25-year-old is a two-time big air bronze medallist at the World Championships and a two-time X Games champion.

New Zealand's Luca Harrington (fifth) is the reigning world champion, with Finland's Elias Syrja (13th) taking the silver medal in 2025, while USA's Mac Forehand (2026) and Troy Podmilsak (2024) have won gold at the X Games.

Forehand is first and Podmilsak seventh after run two.

Miro Tabanelli (20th), brother of women's world champion Flora, represents hosts Italy's best medal hope. The 21-year-old won bronze at the Junior World Championships (2021), gold at the X Games (2025), and has multiple World Cup podiums to his name.

Two runs down, one to go, and USA's Mac Forehand is out in front.

In the big air, each skier completes three runs with their best two scores (one from the A direction and one B direction) combined for a score out of 200. The top 12 go through to Tuesday's final.

Here's how the top 12 looks after two runs

1. Mac Forehand (USA) - 183.00
2. Matej Svancer (Austria) - 182.25
3. Birk Ruud (Norway) - 181.00
4. Timothe Sivignon (France) - 178.00
5. Luca Harrington (New Zealand) - 176.25
6. Ulrik Samnoey (Norway) - 176.00
7. Troy Podmilsak (USA) - 174.00
8. Martin Nordqvist (Sweden) - 170.75
9. Dylan Deschamps (Canada) - 169.25
10. Kuura Koivisto (Finland) - 167.00
11. Fabian Boesch (Switzerland) - 166.75
12. Kim Gubser (Switzerland) - 162.50

Great Britain's Chris McCormick is in 23rd place. He scored 70 for his A jump on his second attempt.

Olympic skeleton mixed team champion Tabby Stoecker told BBC Sport: "Being on the podium was everything that you dream of but you're not sure is going to happen.

"This morning, I woke up trying to stay present and make it better than yesterday. For this outcome, I am so, so happy.

"Our team is like family and everybody has got each other’s back. To do this event with the five people representing GB in skeleton has made it so special. We have created so many memories that are going to last forever."

Matt Weston spoke to BBC Sport after receiving his second gold medal: "Obviously the individual medal has a special place in my heart, but now we've had the team race, this was another goal.

"I've said before, I treated this as a five-heat race; I still had things I wanted to clean up from the individual race, I tried to do that today, tick the boxes, be boring and get it done."

What impact do you hope this win has? "Inspiration. Coming into this sport, I had no idea where it was going to take me. Nine years later, I am double Olympic champion which is crazy.

"The main message is to grab everything you can with two hands, any opportunity that comes. There's two of us stood here with gold medals and hopefully we're inspiring the next generation of sliders."

Team GB's Chris McCormick has just completed his second run in the men's big air qualifying.

He scored 31.25 in his first run, failing to stick his landing.

His second attempt - cool and casual! He comes down the ramp backwards and rotates three or four times in the air (although the commentators aren't impressed with his grab onto his skis).

He scores 70 - a huge improvement - but will need to nail his B jump at the first attempt, and probably score above 90 on it, to finish in the top 12.

It's taken seventh, but finally one of these teams has scored two in an end. Unfortunately for GB, it's the Swiss who get it and they edge ahead.

Three ends to play, but the British rink have the hammer.

Claire Cleeve, in Ringwood, has asked how they decide the order of stones and who throws when?

There's loads of elements that goes into it, Claire.

In simple terms the lead - the player who throws first - is best at playing draws and guards; the second specialises in takeouts; the third needs to be an all-rounder, but is probably the best shot-maker; and the skip is the one who can thrown the big stones under pressure.

Broadly, the lead and second also need to be the best sweepers, and the third and skip the best tacticians.

In terms of the order of the stones, they are numbered 1-8. They are all the same, in theory, and are hewn from microgranite from the island Ailsa Craig off the west coast of Scotland.

But they can behave slightly differently on the ice so a rink can shuffle the order around as they wish, to ensure the skip and third have the more predictable stones.

Amelia Coltman also spoke about her other team-mates Freya Tarbit and Marcus Wyatt, who narrowly missed out on a medal: "My heart goes out to them. I have personally been in fourth place at a World Championship team event and you think 'what could have been'

"They both performed really well and had great runs. Fourth at the Olympic Games! Let's put it into perspective, that is incredible."

Amelia Coltman, a fellow GB skeleton competitor in Italy, spoke to BBC Sport about her teammates' achievement: "I am so proud of them. That was so down to the wire, and like they said it was a team effort and the two of them nailed it.

"I'd rather have been on the sled than watching! It's so much worse, you're not in control and you don't know what is going to happen. I am so proud that they got it over the line.

"Diamonds are made under pressure and Matt is a diamond right now. A double Olympic champion, it's amazing.

"[To be part of the GB team] It has been special. We have been building for this moment, for the past three or four years. Our bond is very unique and I couldn't be prouder of the team."

If you ever feel like you cannot function in your job without caffeine, don't worry - Olympians feel it too.

I asked GB pairs figure skating hopefuls Luke Digby and Anastasia Vaipan-Law earlier this week if they have any routines or superstitions before taking to the ice.

"As long as I get my coffee when I walk through the door, that's what I need at every competition," said Blackpool-born Vaipan-Law. "Americano, just for competitions."

Digby insists he doesn't have any superstitions - but always has to put on his left skate first. Hmm.

Both will be well supported at Milano Ice Skating Arena tonight - Digby will have his mum, sister and fiancée in the crowd. Vaipan-Law has a minibus full of fans.

"I'll have mum, gran, auntie, cousins, my boyfriend and his family, then my dad, step mum and sister," she said. "Literally, I've got about three separate crowds."

Digby and Vaipan-Law will be the 11th pair onto the ice. Four couples have completed their short programme, with China's Wenjing Sui and Cong Han leading the way with 72.66 points.

The Swiss opt to blank the sixth end, rather than taking a single.

Why would they do that? Let us take you back to earlier...

In case you've missed any of the action from day nine, the major headline is that Team GB have won not one, but TWO GOLD MEDALS.

Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale started the party with victory in the mixed team snowboard cross.

And Tabby Stoecker and Matt Weston made it Super Sunday in the skeleton mixed team event.

Here's a reminder of today's golden moments.

Hullo, that's a hog-line violation by Switzerland in the sixth end. No controversy this time... the Swiss player just didn't release that stone in time and the red light flashed on it.

It will be removed from play and, in theory, gives GB an opening...
