The summary for today has to start win the disappointing GB performance in the men's curling final against a rampant Canada, in what is a tradition for GB they were behind after three ends but a woeful set of ends saw them hand a two to Canada despite having the hammer and going 8-2 behind.
A one for GB made it 8-3 but they conceded late on as Canada went to 9-3 and that was it for the GB hopes but a silver medal is still a big achievement.
Earlier on, the bronze went to Sweden who beat China 6-4 who bounced back after defeat in the semi finals against GB and ensured the same three teams took the medals in both competitions.
Canada seem to be having a good day all around as they have taken a 1-2 in the women's ski cross with Marielle Thompson taking gold, Kelsey Serwa securing silver and Anna Holmund (SWE) collecting the bronze.
The women's 4x6km relay saw a gold for Ukraine with Russia taking the silver and Norway collecting the bronze while in the speed skating both GB representatives, Elise Christie and Jon Eley successfully qualified for the semi finals.
Eley missed out on the men's 500m final finishing fourth and last in his semi but came so close to qualifying but a mistake stopped him from going second and had to settle for fourth and a place in the 'B' final but only to classify 5th place and so on overall but managed third in that final so is placed 7th.
The A final saw Russian Victor Am breeze through for gold with Wu Dajing (CHN) taking the silver and Charle Cournoyer sealing the bronze.
Elise Christie skated in the women's 100m semi final and was taken out on the final turn but a review saw he penalised for a third time in the games meaning the hopes of a medal are dashed.
The final saw Korea take gold and bronze with Seung Hi Park taking gold, Kexin Fan (CHN) take silver with Shim Suk Hee collecting the bronze.
The women's slalom saw a new note in the history books as Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) became the youngest ever winner of the gold with an Austrian 2-3 with Marlies Schild taking the silver with compatriot Kathrin Zettel collecting the bronze.
Back to skating and in the men's 5000m relay, Russia took the gold giving Victor An his second gold of the day alongside Semen Elistratov, Vladimir Grigorev and Ruslan Zakharov with an Olympic record time of 6:42.10. America took the silver with the team of Eduardo Alvarez, J.R. Celski, Chris Creveling and Jordan Malone with China's Dequen Chan, Tianyu Han, Jingnan Shi and Dajing Wu collecting the bronze.
