    We have just seen Ilia Malinin make his Olympic debut - but the first quadruple axel will have to wait.

    The 21-year-old American, dressed like a gladiator, performed for USA in the men's section of the team event.

    Malinin, the only man in figure skating history to land the quad axel, only landed a triple during his routine.

    Despite wowing the crowd, including with a back-flip, he scored 98.00, well behind Japan's Yuma Kagiyama - expected to be his main rival for men's singles gold.

    In the team event, USA and Japan have both progressed to the finals alongside Italy, Canada and Georgia.

    GB top the tablepublished at 20:26 GMT 7 February

    Curling mixed doubles

    The curling is done for the day and the table looks good for Great Britain after Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds beat US and Canada earlier on to extend their 100% start to the Games.

    That has secured their place in the semi-finals but everyone else still has work to do.

    In the evening session, USA suffered a surprise 6-5 loss to South Korea despite coming back from 5-2 down going into the eighth end to force an extra end. It gave the Koreans their first win after five straight losses to begin the mixed doubles.

    Meanwhile, Estonia beat Canada 8-6, Switzerland claimed a comfortable 10-3 win over the Czech Republic and Italy edged Norway 6-5 to move above the US into second.

  5. GB out of team eventpublished at 20:22 GMT 7 February

    Figure skating - team event

    The latest stage of the figure skating team event - the men's single skating short programme - has concluded.

    Japan's Yuma Kagiyama, who won silver in the men's event in 2022, scored 108.67 to top the standings for this stage, finishing ahead of two-time world champion Ilia Malinin of the USA (98.00).

    Team GB's Edward Appleby finished 10th of 10 athletes with a score of 69.68 - that ends his team's participation in this event, with only the top five countries moving forward to the ice dance free dance at 21:05 GMT.

  6. No extra rules - or handshake bans - for GB athletes amid norovirus casespublished at 20:09 GMT 7 February

    British athletes will not be given specific health instructions - including a handshake ban - after several cases of norovirus in the Olympic village, says British Olympic Association (BOA) chief Dame Katherine Grainger.

    Five players from the Swiss and Finnish women’s ice hockey teams have tested positive for norovirus. The single Swiss case was confirmed two days after Canada and Finland were forced to postpone their opening match when four members of the Finnish team fell ill.

    But the International Olympic Association says there is no wide outbreak, and Grainger says they will not impose any rules on their athletes.

    “I haven’t heard or discussed anything about handshake bans, but as an athlete, this is your moment, you are not going to take any risks," she told a press briefing this morning. "They don’t need to be overly told what to do.”

    Sometimes called the winter vomiting bug, norovirus is the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis globally and has symptoms including diarrhoea and vomiting, according to the World Health Organisation.

  7. Italian Passler appeals to Cas over doping banpublished at 19:53 GMT 7 February

    Italian biathlete Rebecca Passler has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) after she was given a doping ban five days before the Games officially began.

    Passler was provisionally suspended by Italy's anti-doping agency (Nado) after she tested positive for banned substance "Letrozole metabolite bis, methanol".

    Letrozole is a drug used to lower oestrogen levels and is frequently used to treat breast cancer.

    Passler wants Cas to overrule the suspension due to "lack of intent and negligence" so she can compete in the Games.

    The application argues that it is a case of contamination, with no fault by her.

    Snowboarding - men's big air final

    What a final! What an event!

    Even if you're not an expert - and, let's face it, very few of us could claim anything of the sort - there is no doubt the big air is a brilliant watch.

    Plenty of crash-outs in that final but still some spectacular stuff, not least from the new Olympic champion, Kira Kimura.

    His 90.50 was the top score of the final and it came in his final run. Talk about doing it under pressure!

    The Japan 1-2 was already assured but it's Kira Kimura who takes the gold!

    Ryoma Kimata couldn't quite land his final run and he has to settle for silver. It's Su Yiming of China in bronze.

    A brilliant final sees Kimura come out on top.

    Su Yiming with the exact same trick as Japan's Kira Kimura... but his hands touch the snow as he lands.

    That's costly but he's into the medals. It'll be bronze for China's defending champion.

    An 80.25 pushes Oliver Martin of the US into fourth.

    Ryoma Kimata will now go for gold...

    So close to something special from Dane Menzies!

    The New Zealander looks to have landed it for a split second before his board goes from under him and he hits the deck.

    Just China's Su Yiming and Ryoma Kimata of Japan left to go...

    Huge jump from Kira Kimura when it matters most!

    The landing was about as perfect as it gets - and he's in the gold medal position!

    A 90.50 puts him up to 179.50, eight points ahead of team-mate Ryoma Kimata.

  15. gold-medal

    Gold medal - Anna Odine Stroem (Norway)published at 19:35 GMT 7 February

    Ski jumping - women's normal hill

    Anna Odine Stroem has done it - she takes gold for Norway!

    Her final score of 130.4 makes for a total of 267.3, bettering silver medallist Nika Prevc of Slovenia (266.2) and bronze medal winner Nozomi Maruyama of Japan (261.8).

    Stroem top-scored in both qualification and the final, enough to beat the 20-year-old world champion Prevc.

    It's expected to be a remarkable Games for the Prevc family, Nika and brother Domen are the respective women’s and men’s World Cup leaders going into the Games.

    Nika still stands a chance of gold in the large hill, but has to settle for silver today.

    Canada's Francis Jobin and Taiga Hasegawa of Japan are both unable to force their way into the medal places.

    Japan's Nozomi Maruyama goes first!

    Her 126.1 score, the second best of the final so far, is, when added to her qualification score, enough to put her top of the standings with two athletes to go.

    Just the three qualification leaders to go, including world champion Nika Prevc of Slovenia.
