By Ollie Williams in Vancouver


Alpine skiing

0947: Lindsey Vonn may have crashed out of the giant slalom, but the American makes her return in the less-giant slalom, the first run of which begins in just under 15 minutes. Vonn is up against Germany's Maria Riesch in what has been billed as a battle of the gold medallists - downhill champion Vonn versus super-combined winner Riesch. The latter is fifth to go, while Vonn is 10th and Britain's Chemmy Alcott will be 54th out of the gate. Check the full start list and follow the live timings on our results page.

Curling

0938: China are in fine form in the women's curling bronze medal game. After scoring three in the first end, they restrict Switzerland to one in the second. Pretty much all going China's way.

Ice hockey

Gareth texts: "While the Canadian women should have kept the party in the locker room, they did think the rink was empty. Only a reporter that just stayed behind got lucky with a picture."

Not so sure about that, Gareth. Have you seen how many pictures there are? Good quality, close-up pictures. I realise they were drinking champagne but you'd need to have downed a considerable quantity not to spot the continued presence of cameras at the venue.

RobDPage tweets: "What is the fuss about the ice hockey celebration? In my view it was a good old hockey celebration. Has everyone forgotten the Canadians had just won gold at home?"

Curling

0924: If you're watching live online - or doing something olde worlde like using a television - there are new graphics at the curling, showing the precise path each stone takes down the ice. I still can't decide if the Swiss were LBW or not.

(If you're Canadian, that joke may not hit home.)

0922: Excellent early work from the Chinese women, who take a 3-0 lead over Switzerland after the first end.

Ice hockey

0919: Not, of course, that the Canadian women are the only ones. Our photo gallery of celebratory excess proves that. How many of those do you remember?

0912: In other news, what do you make of the Canadian women's ice hockey team having to issue an apology for their on-ice celebrations after beating the US to win gold? You can also text me - the number is 81111 in the UK (start your message with the word "Olympics") or +44 7786200666 worldwide.

Speed skating

0908: On Thursday, Sir Steve Redgrave mentioned an idea he's had: building a long track speed skating venue in Britain. I've been having a think about what that would mean if it happened, and Phil Brojaka - the British long track skater mentioned during Thursday's live coverage - has given me his thoughts, too. Now I'd like yours. Have a read of my blog while we watch the curling, and leave a comment or send a tweet (I'm @bbcsport_ollie).

Curling

0901: Short track will be the British focus much later in the day, but the first event under way is the women's curling bronze medal game. Your protagonists are China and Switzerland. You can watch it live if you're in the UK, or follow the action using our real-time results page.

0858: You know when you're sat in a quiet room for a while, in what feels like silence, then suddenly you notice there's a clock ticking? That's just happened. I've got London and Vancouver clocks directly above me and they're almost deafening me now. It must mean time is ticking away until the end of the 2010 Winter Games - but there are still some big moments, and British medal chances (stop it with that cynical look) on the way.

0851: Hello, everybody. Canadians have had a fair few exciting days recently, and this promises to be another one. Canada's women take on Sweden for curling gold, and their men face Slovakia in the last four of the hockey, where the United States will play Finland. If you live in Canada and have any sense, you'll put the ear defenders on now before the cowbell-wielding masses reach the streets.
