She suffered heartbreak four years ago after being disqualified in all three of her events. Is this the day for redemption?

UPDATE: Elise Christie failed to finish in the final of the women's 500m short track

BBC expert Wilf O’Reilly says: Britain’s Elise Christie was distraught after her three disqualifications at Sochi, but the thing you have to remember about short track speed skating is it’s not like the 100m: you don’t have your own space to race in. You’re alongside your opponents, so it gets physical. Remember when Zola Budd and Mary Decker clashed in the 3,000m at the 1984 Summer Olympics? It’s like that; anything can happen.

BBC commentator Graham Bell says: Austrian Marcel Hirscher is dominant in slalom and giant slalom, but today we’ll get an answer to the big question: can he be a force in the combined as well? This event features both a downhill and a slalom race; Hirscher has won world championships here in the past, but hasn’t competed in downhill since breaking his ankle in 2017.

Cross country skiing

Graham Bell says: Cross country skiing is the most punishing exercise — along with rowing, it’s said to produce the highest V02 max readings (the highest rate at which your body can process oxygen). It’s nothing like running, which is about endurance; cross country is also about power, pushing all muscle groups as hard as you can and then recovering in the downhill sections. The pain is unbelievable. Without doubt they’re some of the fittest men and women on Earth.

Winter Olympic star to watch: US snowboarder Chloe Kim

Seventeen-year-old Chloe Kim is Californian by birth, but with South Korean parents she’ll be a real home crowd favourite, too. Kim competes in the Women’s Halfpipe today (1am). “It’s dangerous to say this at an Olympics, but I think it’s hers to lose,” says the BBC’s Jenny Jones.
