She won with a total score of 150.20, ahead of Kaori Sakamoto of Japan and Ami Nakai of Japan.

An emotional Bruce Mouat has reacted to Team GB's men's curling team's progression to the gold medal match.

Speaking to the BBC, he said:

"What has happened? Crazy, so much fun to play in that atmosphere again.

"Our supporters were incredible there. All of us continue to say thank you to everyone back home for sending messages and buying your lottery tickets. It does really add up to what we are going to hopefully achieve and win a gold medal."

GB will play Canada in the final on Saturday at 6:05pm

Great Britain have won!

Bruce Mouat's team secure an 8-5 victory over Switzerland to book their place in Saturday's men's curling final, meaning they are guaranteed either a gold or silver medal.

The United States have won the gold medal in the women's ice hockey.

That's despite them being 1-0 down against Canada with just three minutes of the match remaining.

A late equaliser from Hilary Knight took the match into extra time. Megan Keller scored the decisive golden goal to earn her team the gold medal.

Team GB's Zoe Aitkin has qualified for the freeski halfpipe final.

The final takes place on Saturday.

It replicates the achievement of her older sister Izzy, who won a slopestyle bronze medal in PyeongChang.

Team GB were able to get just one point back in the fifth end.

It means that they trail by one at the halfway point, with the score sitting at 3-4 to Switzerland.

We're into the fifth end in the men's curling semi-final.

Team GB are currently trailing 4-2 to Switzerland after the Swiss team took two from the previous end following a loose final stone from Bruce Mouat.

It's been a day full of curling drama for Team GB, and it doesn't end here.

The men are now in semi-final action as they look to overcome Switzerland in order to get a shot at the gold medal.

Britain took the unbeaten Swiss to an extra end in the round robin stage, but will be hoping to go one better this time.

After a blanked first end, Switzerland took two in the second to give them a 2-0 lead. But Britain have the hammer going into the third.

GB's Zoe Atkin is chasing gold in the freeski halfpipe and has to hold off China's defending Olympic champion Eileen Gu .

Gu has two silver medals at the Games this year and will want to find a gold medal of her own.

Atkin's dad, Mike, is proud of his daughter's efforts so far.

"She is nervous because this is a very big event, but we've always kept our expectations modest," he said.

"We say, 'Just ski well; do try and put down a run you can be proud of."

The Team GB curling stars cut emotional figures in their interview following their exit.

The team showed so much heart and were in fine form by the end, but missed out on the final four.

Team GB stars break down in tears as BBC commentator says 'that's so cruel'

Ning Zhongyan can scarcely believe his victory in the 1500m speed skating over Jordan Stolz and Kjeld Nuis. Stolz has a silver to add to two golds.

It's a big game for Team GB's men's curling team tonight at 6.35pm as they face Switzerland in the semi-final. Let's hope they have better luck than the women this afternoon.

Qualification for the gold medal match is on the line while the loser tonight will play for bronze on Friday.

BetTom have priced up the game with Team GB at 13/10 to win with the Swiss team favourites at 12/25. We'll have all the live coverage here tonight.

Team GB are out of the curling as the USA claim a win and progress to the final four, with a final draw against the Swiss in the extra end.

Always liked the Swiss. They claim three in the final end against USA to force an additional end.

Switzerland have to steal for GB to progress to the curling semi-final.

GB take the win over Italy and now wait and see if Switzerland can claim three in their final end.

It doesn't look on, though, and GB are set to finish sixth and miss out on the semi-finals.

Two stones remain for the Swiss.

USA have the hammer but despite being 5-3 down Switzerland have forced an opportunity. But the rowdy Americans deliver an impressive shot to all but clear the danger.

US set to take a further point.

GB are leading 7-3 in their match.

Sounds like it's going pretty well for the US, which is bad news for GB. They can only do their job and still lead Italy, 4-3.

Chants of U-S-A can regularly be heard and are being encouraged by Switzerland's opponents.

Five ends down and GB steal one to extend their lead over Italy to lead 4-1.

The USA currently lead Switzerland 3-1, however. GB need a turnaround there.

Paolo Petrecca was the opening ceremony commentator who confused Mariah Carey with actress Matilda De Angelis, and the San Siro with Roma's Stadio Olimpico. Now he has handed in his resignation.

Petrecca, head of Rai Sport, made a number of on-air errors and prompted a brief strike by news journalists.

Team GB's women need a win against Italy this afternoon and require Switzerland to defeat the USA.

After two ends, it's 1-0 to GB currently.

Spanish ski mountaineering ace Oriol Cardona Coll has won the Winter Olympics gold medal. At the age of 31 years old, he was the oldest participant in the final.

He becomes the first ever gold medallist in the history of the event, which is making its competition debut in Italy. Neutral star Nikita Filippov took the silver medal, while Thibault Anselmet of France secured the bronze.

BBC alpine skiing commentator Matt Chilton has revealed a power cut caused chaos at the Winter Olympics. He was on the air waves for the men's ski mountaineering semi-finals.

With the race taking place over a large distance, spectators watch most of the events on a big television screen which is assembled on site. However, the screen went off, causing audible groans around the vicinity.

Chilton, who was on commentary duty, also said his screen went off. He said: That semi-final was a bit dramatic. There was a power cut in the middle of it.

"There was huge groan from the grand stand as the pictures on the giant screen vanished.

"They vanished from my screen in the commentary box too, I was looking through my binoculars for 30 seconds!"

Ahead of the finals of the ski mountaineering - which was added into the Olympic programme ahead of this year's games - Express Sport has a useful explainer for you.

At the start, the participants begin the race with strips of fabric connected to the bottom of the skis, to ensure there is more grip. When the first phase is over, the skis are removed and placed onto their backpacks, so they can tackle a set of stairs.

For the final ascent, the skis are clicked back on and its a case of get to the bottom as fast as you possibly can, while slaloming through curves and gates.

Each gate must be passed in the correct order. Whoever gets to the bottom while completing every stage is the victory - easy, right?

Ahead of the ski mountaineering semi-finals this afternoon. we have a brief explainer of how the finalists are decided.

In the skimo, as it's commonly referred to, two semi-finals will take place. The top two athletes in each semi-final will go through to the final.

At 12.55, the women's final will take place, followed by the men's final which will begin 20 minutes later at 1.15pm.

Unfortunately, there will be no British involvement in the race, but skimo medal favourites Emily Harrop (France), Marianne Fatton (Switzerland), Giulia Murada (Italy), Tatjana Paller (Germany) and Margot Ravinel (France) will all be involved.

BBC commentator Matt Chilton claimed that Iwona Januszyk has "having quite the tantrum" in the aftermath of Thursday morning's women's sprint; an event she finished last in.

Channel 9 star Danika Mason has gone viral on social media after slurring her way through a live cross from the Winter Olympics in Italy. A situation that led the Australian Prime Minister to weigh in.

Mason said she had 'misjudged the situation' by drinking before going on air, adding that the altitude, the cold and the fact she hadn't eaten dinner had also played a part. Admitting she was 'embarrassed', Mason said: "I want to take full responsibility, it's not the standard I set myself."

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese defended the presenter, saying he was 'pro‑Danika' and insisting there was 'nothing to see here', suggesting she had simply been affected by jet lag.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) are confident all events will be completed in full before the closing ceremony on Sunday, despite multiple delays due to the weather.

The IOC point to the Nagano Games in 1998, where heavy snow, thick fog and rain caused constant rescheduling.

The men's downhill took place five days after it was originally scheduled, and the women's event was delayed by two days. High winds saw ski-jumping delayed, while the bobsleigh competition was reduced from four runs to three because of poor visibility.

However, all events were completed and medals awarded within the scheduled dates of the Games.

"Snow is an occupational hazard," IOC spokesperson Mark Adams told the BBC on Thursday morning "They [snowsport organisers] are used to delays and changes. There are problems when it comes to snow, we are used to those."

The BBC paused its Winter Olympics coverage on Day 13 of the Games to bring viewers on BBC One the breaking news that Thames Valley Police say they have arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

Hazel Irving said on BBC: "We're going to pause our coverage from the Olympic Winter Games on this thirteenth day, and we'll be back with you in just a few moments' time, but for the time being, we're heading back to London for some breaking news, and we will see you again very soon."

A BBC Sport graphic also appeared on screen, reading: "Coverage continues shortly on BBC One." A minute or so later, Irving returned, saying: "Welcome back to the Winter Olympics, Day 13," before continuing with coverage of the curling.

Team GB are through to the semi-final of the men's curling after Switzerland beat Italy 9-5 this morning.

GB, who finished fourth in the round robin table, are set to face the undefeated Swiss at 6:05pm tonight.

Meanwhile, Norway beat Canada 8-6 in the other match-up this morning and the two countries will meet each other again in the semi-final this evening.

Jutta Leerdam will NOT be punished for showing off her white Nike bra after claiming gold in the women's 1000m speed skating last week.

After crossing the finishing line, Leerdam, 27, unzipped her orange skinsuit and showed off white underwear, which is sponsored by the US sportswear giants.

There had been talk that Leerdam could be sanctioned for the act, but the International Olympic Committee (IOC) did not consider that to break any media-related rules.

Jon Kistler, Nikita Flippov, Maximilian Drion, Arno Lietha, Thibault Anselmet and Hans-Inge Klette are the others to automatically qualify for the semi-finals through the heats in the men's sprint at the ski mountaineering.

USA's Cameron Smith is among the three lucky losers.

Canadian curling star Marc Kennedy claims he was set up by 'premeditated' cameras designed to catch him 'in an act' of cheating. Kennedy was accused of a double touch by the Swedish team last Friday and received a verbal warning from World Curling for 'inappropriate language.'

The 44-year-old erupted into a foul‑mouthed tirade at Oskar Eriksson, after the Swedish star accused him of making contact with his stone beyond the hog line.

In response, Kennedy pointed to himself in disbelief before shouting: "I haven’t done it once. You can f*** off", prompting Eriksson to fire back: "I’ll show you a video after the game. I’ll show you a video where it’s two metres over the hog line." Canada went on to win the match 8-6.

After the match, Kennedy received a verbal warning from World Curling for using foul language, though he was not formally charged with cheating by the governing body.

Speaking the next day, Kennedy said: "I probably could have handled it better. But we’re human out there and there’s a lot of emotion.

"I’m not going to apologise for defending my team-mates and standing up for myself. I’ve curled my whole life, never once with the intention of gaining an advantage through cheating."

Switzerland are now 7-3 up against Italy after seven ends at the Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium.

That is a huge boost for Team GB, who need one of Italy or Norway to lose this morning.

Norway are, however, 7-5 up against Canada and looking on course to book their place in the semi-final.

Spain duo Oriol Cardona Coll and Ot Ferrer Martinez, as well as France's Pablo Giner Dalmasso are through to the semi-final after the first heat of the men's sprint in ski moutaineering.

The second heat is coming up soon...

At the Cortina Curling Centre, Italy are now 4-1 behind Switzerland in the sixth end.

Some good noise from a bunch of schoolchildren backing the hosts, but things are getting tense.

A reminder that Team GB need Italy - or Norway - to lose in their final round robin matches this morning.

Norway, meanwhile, are 7-2 up against Canada.

Switzerland's world champion Marianne Fatton, France's English-born Margot Ravinel, Slovakia's Marianna Jagercikova, Guila Murada of Italy and Spain duo Ana Alonso Rodriguez and Maria Costa Diez are the others that are through from from the three heats of the women's sprint in ski mountaneering.

Next up is the men's heats.

The women's ski mountaineering sprints heats are underway and it was a comfortable win for Emily Harrop of France.

She cruised to victory and was followed through to the next round by Germany's Tatjana Paller and Switzerland's Caroline Ulrich. Anna Gibson of the USA, meanwhile, finished fifth out of sixth in the first heat and is not expected to advance into the semi-final.

The final matches of the men's round robin have started and it's mixed news for Team GB so far.

Italy dropped two points to Switzerland in the first end. If the host nation loses then GB will progress.

However, Norway picked up THREE in the opening end against Canada. Remember, GB are hoping to see Norway lose that match.

GB, however, do only need ONE of Italy or Norway to lose to book their passage into the semi-final.

Due to heavy snowfall in Livigno and expected worsening conditions throughout the day, the men's free ski halfpipe qualification has officially been postposed.

As of now, women's halfpipe qualifications are still scheduled for tonight.

Lewis Hamilton has been urged by the Jamaican bobsleigh team to consider a shock move to bobsleigh to compete in the Winter Olympics.

Revealing Jamaica's interest in Hamilton, Sky Sports reporter Geraint Hughes said: "[Tyquendo] Tracey is a huge F1 fan - a huge fan of Lewis Hamilton. And even though Lewis is getting on in age, 41 years, he still believes Hamilton would be quick enough at the start and could be a brilliant driver.

"Actually, in bobsleigh they’re called a pilot, as you pilot the sled down all the twists and turns on the ice.

"Such a good F1 driver — he could transfer those skills to bobsleigh. Tracey is convinced of it. And because bobsleigh is pretty fast, pretty hairy, pretty dicey — they get up to around 100 miles an hour.

"Lewis Hamilton — that’s chicken feed. He’s used to double that and more. So Jamaica are fans of Lewis Hamilton and would like him to consider switching to the Winter Olympics after his F1 career and coming over to bobsleigh."

6.05pm - Potential semi-final

After beating USA and giving themselves an excellent chance of securing a top four spot in the men's curling, Team GB's Bruce Mouat delivered his reaction.

"It was a bit of a scary first end," Mouat told the BBC. "But we just turned the momentum straight away and then we forced them into some tricky shots, and he [US skip Daniel Casper] was a bit heavy on a few draws, so we got a few breaks which we probably haven't seen all week. It was nice."

On needing other results to go your way: "This is a horrible position to be in, honestly! Just having to watch other games and hope that the results are going our way is not the ideal position to be in.

"But so far so good and we obviously need tomorrow probably to be the same. We're just gonna have to sit and keep our fingers and our toes crossed and see what happens."

Team GB men's kept their Winter Olympics hopes alive with a dominant win against Team USA on Wednesday after.

After losing 9-5 to Canada in a nervy affair on Tuesday evening, Great Britian hit back in style by thrashing USA 9-2 after just six ends to remain in the hit for a medal and play-off spot.

Now, Team GB are hoping for help from elsewhere to seal a top-four spot from the round robin, needing EITHER Norway or Italy to lose their final match on Thursday morning.

Italy take on unbeaten Switzerland, while Norway are in action against already-qualified Canada.

Here we go again.

We have got another packed schedule in store at the Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina.

Freestyle skating and curling are expected to be the focus for Team GB, with the action starting later this morning.

Keep up to date with live updates here...

Seven golds are up for grabs on day 13:

Plus, Team GB's fate will be decided in the men and women's curling as the round robin phase concludes.

It has been another busy day of Winter Olympic action in Milan and Cortina. Team GB's men's and women's curling team secured huge victories, with the men beating the USA 9-2, before the women's overcame the USA 8-7 and Japan 9-3.

Meanwhile, France wrapped up their fifth gold medal in the biathlon, while USA skiing legend Mikaela Shiffrin won the third gold medal ofn her career.

It was also an exciting day in the speed skating with Steven Dubois of Canada claiming gold in the 500m, overcoming Duch brothers Melle and Jens van t' Wout.

There will be plenty more action to come over the coming days.

Team GB's Bruce Mouat has admitted that having the men's curling team's chance of progressing in other team's hands is 'horrible'.

Speaking to BBC Sport after the 9-2 win over USA, he said: "[W aiting for other results] is a horrible position to be in. Having to watch other games and hope they go our way is not the position we wanted to be in but so far so good. We need tomorrow to be the same. We will keep our fingers and our toes crossed and see what happens."

So, following their win over USA, GB can't be officially knocked out of the men's curling today.

Italy's defeat to Canada means their hopes are extended. If the hosts overcome Switzerland on Thursday, GB will go out. On to Thursday.

Team GB life to fight another day with a 9-2 win against USA in the round robin.

The win keeps their semi-final hopes alive. Defeat to Norway or Italy will extend their hopes.

With Team GB looking like themselves today, proceedings elsewhere give reason for positivity.

Norway are behind against Switzerland and Italy have been pegged back by Canada - with the score being 3-3.

Team GB have just completed a steal of four in the third end against USA, added to steals of one in both the first and second end, it given Britain a nice lead of 6-0.

They will look to build on that going into the fourth end, with USA retaining the hammer.

China's Mengtao Xu has taken gold in the women's Aerials, in the event that was delayed by 24 hours following poor weather.

She won with a score of 112,90, more than 10 points ahead of silver medalist Danielle Scott. Qi Shao of China won the bronze medal.

Women's Aeriels medals

1. Mengtao Xu (CHN) - 112.90

2. Danielle Scott (AUS) - 102.17

3. Qi Shao (CHN) - 101.90

Like with the women, it's do or die for Team GB's men in the curling round robin.

They are now in action against USA, knowing that they need a win to give them a chance of qualifying for the semi-final.

They will then need other results to go their way, including leaders Switzerland and Canada winning their matches against Norway and Italy, respectively.

China's Yiming Su came out on top in the Men's Snowboard Slopestyle final.

His first run score of 82.41 was enough to beat off competition from Japan's Taiga Hasegawa who won silver and USA's Jake Canter who won bronze.

Snowboard slopestyle medals

1. Yiming Su (CHN) - 82.41

2. Taiga Hasegawa (JPN) - 82.13

3. Jake Canter (USA) - 79.36

There was an unexpected visitor during the Women's Cross Country skiing earlier, with a dog somehow making its way onto the closing stages of the course.

Images shown by the BBC show the dog running down the finishing straight.

It was eventually caught and was shown happy and enjoying a fuss from Olympics officials.

Team GB have picked up a historic fifth-place finish in the Cross-Country skiing team sprint free final.

British duo Andrew Musgrave and James Clugnet finished just 7.6 seconds behind the winners, Norway, with Johannes Hosflot Klaebo and Einar Hedegard taking gold.

It's the first time that Britain had finished higher than 12th in the event.

Medals

1. Norway (18:28.9)

2. USA (18.30.3)

3. Italy (18.32.2)

The first run of the Women's Slalom has been completed, with USA's Mikaela Shiffrin leading the way.

She recorded a run with a time of 47.13 seconds, 0.82 seconds ahead of Lena Duerr of Germany in second and exactly one second ahead of Sweden's Cornelia Oehlund in third.

The second run takes place at 12:30pm.

That was some end to the curling for Team GB's women! The team were three shots down going into the final two ends.

They were able to get two in the ninth, but were still against it going into the final end, with USA having the Hammer.

With GB against it, Rebecca Morrison played a brilliant double take-out to leave GB lying with two shots.

With the final stone USA could only hit the guard.

It means that GB turned the game around and came out as 8-7 winners to keep their hopes of qualification alive.

Team GB men's curling team are in action this afternoon and it's a must-win affair as they face USA at 1.30pm.

Bruce Mouat's team must secure a victory and now hope for a favour from other teams who are playing today to remain in the hunt for a medal and a play-off place.

BetGoodwin are pricing up GB as heavy favourites at 2/9 with USA at 23/10 for the match. One to watch later on.

TNT Sports' Winter Olympics pundit Chris Dixon has apologised after comparing the controversial Canadian curler Marc Kennedy to Lance Armstrong during Day 11's edition of Buongiorno Milano. The former biathlete brought up the banned cyclist, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles after being found to have used performance-enhancing drugs, during a discussion about the cheating allegations Kennedy faces.

At the halfway point of their crucial match with the USA, Team GB's Women's curling team are losing 3-2.

Both teams have been trading one shot point per end, but the USA stole one point in the fifth. Team GB will however now have the hammer going into the sixth, eigth and 10th end.

Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp made a surprise appearance at the Winter Olympics.

The German was responsible for ringing the bell for the final lap of the men's biathlon relay on Tuesday.

Klopp is said to be a big fan of the event, having grown up in Germany's Black Forest.

When asked what his favourite sport was away from football, he said: “I'm a fan of everything.

“I love all alpine skiing, I love all cross-country skiing disciplines, I love biathlon. It's all just exciting. I understand some things better from watching them for years or from doing them myself. Other things I don't understand at all."

Here's some of the key events coming up today:

8:05am - Women's curling - USA vs Team GB - round robin

10:20am - Men's snowboard slopestyle final

10:45am - Women's cross-country skiing team sprint final

11:15am - Men's cross-country skiing team sprint final

Team GB's Men's curling team face a crucial clash against USA today if they wish to stay in contention for the semi-finals.

A 9-5 loss against Canada means that the team are on the brink of an exit.

Speaking to BBC Sport after the match, vice-skip Grant Haride said:

Lindsey Vonn has finally made her way back to the United States after receiving treatment for the fractured left leg she suffered in her crash at Milan‑Cortina. The 41‑year‑old had to be airlifted to hospital after colliding with a gate in a high‑speed mishap just 13 seconds into the women’s downhill event.

After a week in an Italian hospital, Vonn revealed she has now returned home following four surgeries. However, her journey back to the States was far from smooth, as she shared a video detailing the complications.
