** 0925:** Back to the “women’s” curling (see 0915), and Germany are 1-0 up against GB after the first end but third Jackie Lockhart hits a double takeout to give skip Eve Muirhead a chance to make amends and she duly does to even it up after two.0915: There are only four medal events on day eight, the men’s super-G at 1130 (1930), the ladies 15km cross-country pursuit at 1300 (2100 GMT) and the men’s and women’s skeleton, starting at 1545 (2345 GMT). Bizarrely some events are listed as “women’s” and others “ladies”, not sure what the difference is myself although my male colleague would not be drawn into explaining whether I am a woman or a lady! 0905: If you want to get involved then either text me on 81111 (UK) or +44 7786200666 (international) or you cantweet me.C’mon indulge me.
0850: Right then the early action comes from the women’s curling with GB taking on Germany and there are plenty of Union flags on show. GB are in pretty good shape so far with two wins and one defeat and will be looking for another victory this morning. Other matches going on at Vancouver Olympic Centre are Russia v USA and China v Denmark. You can follow the progress withour live statistics page.
0830: Good morning from a sunny Vancouver. I can sense it is going to be a brilliant day and hopefully an historic one too in the world of skeleton. I’m sure you’re all aware Brit Amy Williams is in the gold medal position after the first two runs last night. I don’t know how well she has slept but I know I woke up a few times, equally nervous and excited for her as she aims to become the first British gold medallist in skeleton at a Winter Olympics. But we’ve got to wait until 1545 (2345 GMT) for the action to resume at Whistler Sliding Centre. Shelley Rudman - silver medallist in 2006 - is not out of the reckoning either. She could sneak a bronze if she has two top runs. And in the men’s competition Kristan Bromley is just 0.05 seconds off a medal so could there be double, or triple medal joy for the British Roll on 1545! In the meantime you can watchAmy in actionon the BBC Sport website (if you’re in the UK).
