Winter Olympics LIVE: Kamila Valieva returns in figure skating as Team GB beat Sweden in curling

There’s huge drama in the men’s biathlon relay. The Russians had seemingly been cruising to victory but Eduard Latypov falters badly on his last visit to the shooting range. That allows Vetle Sjåstad Christiansen to storm into the lead for Norway while Russia are now back in third. It’s set to be some finale!

There’s a first error of the match from Eve Muirhead in the fourth end as, while attempting to push out Japan’s yellow stone, she succeeds only in clipping her own red. That leaves Japan with virtually a free run and they ease in for two to cut the deficit to 6-3.

China’s Yiming Su won gold earlier this morning with a spectacular second run in the men’s Big Air event.

The 18-year-old, who also won silver in the snowboard slopestyle, started with a frontside 1800 tail grab and came back with a backside triple cork 1800 in a second run that earned 93.00 points, drawing huge cheers from the home crowd.

His first two runs gave him a combined score of 182.5, while Norway’s Mons Roisland took silver with 171.75 while Canadian Max Parrot finished with the bronze in 170.25.

The perfect start for GB has continued as they take a 6-1 lead after just three ends against Japan.

Muirhead finished the end with a fine shot, clearing the Japanese stone that was lying second.

Kirsty Muir might have just fallen short of the medals this year, after finishing fifth place in the Big Air and eighth in the women’s slopestyle, but the 17-year-old has offered plenty of hope for the future.

Elsewhere this morning, there was bad news for Team GB’s James Woods, who was forced to withdraw from men’s freeski slopestyle competition due to severe back pain.

Team GB make a strong start as Japanese skip Satsuki Fujisawa falters, allowing Eve Muirhead to slide in for three.

In the second end, the momentum swings back and forth as Japan’s third and skip make errors again. Muirhead ensures GB are lying closest with her final throw, meaning Japan can only nip in with their final shot to take one.

Britain lead 3-1 after two ends. A fine start.

Team GB are back on the ice as Eve Muirhead and co. begin a must-win match against Japan.

Last night’s defeat against Canada left GB’s play-off hopes in a very precarious position and defeat here might spell the end of their medal hopes.

This represents the toughest of their three remaining matches, though, with China and the ROC considered weaker opponents.

Kamila Valieva argued at a hearing that her positive drug test came because of a mix-up with her grandfather’s heart medication, an Olympic official said on Tuesday.

"Her argument was this contamination happened with a product her grandfather was taking," Denis Oswald, permanent chair of the International Olympic Committee’s Disciplinary Commission said.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport’s (CAS) decision to let her compete in Tuesday evening’s single event led to uproar from athletes and officials around the world.

The decision came after the panel agreed with the Russian Anti-Doping Agency’s (RUSADA) decision to lift a ban on her.

Following the decision, the 15-year-old told Russia’s Channel One after practice on Monday: “These (past few) days have been very difficult for me”.

"It’s as if I don’t have any emotions left. I am happy but at the same time I am emotionally tired."
