Wow, what a run from American Jordan Stolz who posts an incredible time of 1:06:28 to move into the provisional gold-medal spot with just two skaters to go.

He's pushed all the way by the Netherlands' Jenning de Boo who glides into a silver-medal spot with a time of 1:06:78.

China's Ning Zhongyan drops down to third.

Crunchtime in the men's 1,000m with just two pairs to go in the our final.

China's Ning Zhongyan is the new leader, but favourites Jordan Stolz and Jenning de Boo are up next.

The women’s qualifiers earlier were great, but this is so much better at night.

Tunes pumping, an excited vibe bubbling out of the crowd, let’s do this!

Fair play to the fans lining the side of the pipe. It’s a steep climb and I’ve seen a few of them sliding back down, struggling to grip the snow.

It must be remembered that it is not just Fear and Gibson representing Team GB in the figure skating tonight.

Britain’s other representatives are Phebe Bekker and James Hernandez, who are just 24 and 20 respectively and have made the final cut on their OIympic debuts.

Bekker and Hernandez lie 16th after the rhythm dance and will be fifth on the ice tonight. For them this is about experience, trying to crack their season best and showing the future of British ice dance is bright.

I'm at Milano Ice Skating Arena, where we will start with a hopeful stat for Team GB.

Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson are fourth after the first ice dance segment and have a bit of work to do if they are to become the first British figure skaters to win an Olympic medal since Torvill and Dean in 1994.

Fear and Gibson scored 85.47 in their rhythm dance to lie behind Canada’s Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier.

But the British duo will take confidence from the fact that they also trailed the Canadians at this stage in the Grand Prix Final in December, but fought back in their Scottish-themed free dance to take bronze.

Fear and Gibson will be the 17th of the 20 couples to perform, and are expected on the ice at 21.18 GMT.

Taps aff for the GB boys in this second end. Clearly working up a sweat with all that ferocious sweeping. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here with my electric hand-warmers...

Aussie James has won eight X Games gold medals and four World Championship titles, but has yet to get his mitts on an Olympic gold medal - he won bronze and silver in 2018 and 2022 respectively.

Talking of mitts...you'll notice James wears bright red mitts. He's done so since 2017, when he was sent a pair by a brand.

"I’d come home from the Laax Open, I’d got second and I was all fired up," he told BBC Sport's Tim Warwood.

"I went into the closet and remember pulling the gloves out. It was like a boxing kangaroo, but the narrative built over time.

"I wore the gloves at the X Games, I won my first gold and ever since then these red gloves are my thing.

"I’ve never let them go, I have my own pairs of red gloves now and when i look down at them, it’s very symbolic that I’m here to fight and give it my best shot to ride well.”

Drama on the ice! The Netherlands' Joep Wennemars looks on for a formidable time but briefly collides with Lian Ziwen of China as the two cross towards the end of their run.

Wennemars loses a good second recovering and still manages to finish in the new fastest time of 1:07:58. But he's furious at the finish line and gestures towards Ziwen who skates over to apologise.

Australia's Scotty James will be hoping to end his Olympic gold medal hunt at Milano Cortina, having picked up bronze in 2018 and silver in 2022.

The reigning world champion also recently equalled Shaun White's record of eight halfpipe golds at the X Games.

But Japan are predicted to win a few medals in the pipe this year, and reigning Olympic champion Ayumu Hirano could be on hand to throw a spanner in the works.

The 27-year-old will be looking to defend his title, having also picked up silver medals in 2014 and 2018, despite recently taking a three-year break to focus on his skateboarding career.

Japan will also be represented by current World Cup leader Totsuka Yuto, who will also be hopeful of landing his first-ever Olympic medal.

Australia's Valentino Guseli and United States' Alessandro Barbieri are two other names to keep an eye out for.

Two events are getting under way at 18:30.

In Livigno, it's the qualifying for the men's snowboard halfpipe.

And in Milan, there's a gold medal up for grabs in the figure skating ice dance (free dance), with GB's Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson going for gold!

You can watch the men's 1,000m on BBC Red Button and at the top of this page.

The Netherlands' Kjeld Nuis is our new leader with a time of 1:07:65. Nuis is a three-time gold medallist.

I've kinda got used to watching 2v2 at the mixed curling this past week, so to see eight men crowded on each of the four sheets is quite the change.

Be interesting to see how the atmosphere alters with the increase in testosterone...

GB have definitely taken one in this first end, but we're going to get the big compass out to determine if they've taken a second...

The measuring stick determines they have not. Still, that's 1-0.

In snowboarding, the men's halfpipe qualification will be getting under way at Livigno Snow Park shortly.

Qualification involves either one or two heats, depending on factors such as weather and visibility, with athletes being judged on their jumps and tricks along a 160-metre U-shaped course.

Each athlete is allowed two runs and each run is scored out of 100 by six judges, with their best run determining their qualification score and the top 12 riders advancing to the final.

More importantly, their best recorded run also determines their ranking for the all-important final.

What an amazing feeling this must be for these two sliders, getting a medal for the home nation!

They are at the top of their game and that run was absolutely immaculate.

The Germans put the pressure on them, but they didn't falter. They were the fastest all the way down, up until a couple of corners at the bottom, but they had already done enough.

Brilliant scenes.

A big result in the opening match of the men's ice hockey. Defending champions Finland have been beaten 4-1 by Slovakia in Group B.

Goals from NHL players Juraj Slafkovsky (twice) and Dalibor Dvorsky and Spartak Moscow's forward Adam Ruzicka are enough to lead Slovakia to a comprehensive win.

Sweden take on hosts Italy at about 20:10 GMT tonight.

Dajana Eitberger and Magdalena Matschina roar as they cross the line. They're a shade slower than their first run but a time of 1:46.404 is enough to overtake Austria's Selina Egle and Lara Kipp (+0.139).

Will it be gold for Germany or gold for Italy?

Two-time world champions Selina Egle and Lara Kipp guarantee themselves at least a bronze medal.

The Austrian duo are top of the standings with a time of 1:46.543.

"Wooooo" they scream into the camera. Woooo indeed.

Two pairs to go.
