Winter Olympics 2026: GB men win curling semi-final and Alysa Liu’s skating gold – as it happened

GB progress to men's curling final, USA beat Canada in overtime to win gold in women's ice hockey and the USA's Alysa Liu triumphs in figure skating

The cross-country bit gets going at 1pm, and I'm looking forward to that. It's a scientific fact that here's no kind of race a human can devise that is uncompelling.

In the Nordic, teams of two both have a go at ski jumping, and Germany have just leapt into the lead; they'll start the cross-country portion with no time penalty, because Austria have just completed this part of things, and only landed far enough for fifth. Norway are second, Japan third and Finland fourth.
