Hello and welcome to day five day of winter action in Milan and the hauntingly beautiful Italian mountains. There are eight gold medals up for grabs today, mostly on the slopes. They go for glory in the high-stakes men’s Super G (giant slalom) and the men’s Nordic combined (a 10km cross-country race and ski-jump), while Australia’s Jakara Anthony defends her title in the women’s Moguls (more ski-ing, this time racing down a steep course of jumps, turns and aerial trickery). France’s Lou Jeanmonnot guns for her second gold of the games in the women’s biathalon (cross-country skiing and rifle shooting). Over on the rink, the mighty Dutch are favourites in the men’s 1000m speed skating, while both sexes prepare to throw themselves down an icy shute in the luge double.
