hello, i'm tulsen tollett. and this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme... 17—year—old american red gerard is the star on day two of the winter olympics in south korea, taking gold in the slopestyle snowboarding. no joy forjose, as manchester united lose at newcastle in the english premier league. and big wave surfing in portugal as 25 to 30 foot waves pose problems for some, but not for others. hello and welcome to the programme, where we start in south korea and red gerard was the star on day two of the winter olympics in pyeongchang. the teenage snowboarder won gold in the slope style on a day when seven gold medals were at stake — as nick marshall mccormack reports. it isa it is a mark of redmond gerard's standing in slopestyle snowboarding that at the age of 17, he was

regarded as a favourite. when the moment of glory had passed and he was at the centre of the world's media, the youth was what struck. was at the centre of the world's media, the youth was what struckm was crazy, it was really wild to me that i got first place, it was jawdropping. hard to believe even? yeah, iam jawdropping. hard to believe even? yeah, i am still having a really ha rd yeah, i am still having a really hard time believing it. maybe he will age when he has to overcome obstacles like the one that simen hegstad krueger did in the skiathlon and, crashing early and looking down and, crashing early and looking down and out. the norwegian is made of sterner stuff and he will be grouped to stage one of the winter games's great comebacks to lead home in norwegian one that, two, three. kramer secured a victory of a different kinds, his victory of the 5000 metre speedskating completes his domination of this event since 2010, plus this time it was an

0lympic record. perrine laffont claimed france's first gold medal of the games, when she beat defending champion justine dufour—lapointe to win the women's freestyle's moguls. the teenager scored 78.65 for a narrow win over the canadian, while yulia galysheva was third — winning only the second ever winter games medal for kazakhstan. in the last event of the day, david gleerscher surprised everyone to win the men's luge for austria. germany's felix loch had been the big favourite and had led all the way until the final run. and the weather has once again disrupted the skiing events, with the women's giant slalom postponed on day three because of strong winds. the event was originally scheduled for 01:15 gmt at the yongpyong alpine centre, but will now take place at a later date. now to football. in the english premier league, manchester united are now 16 points behind leaders and rivals, manchester city, after a 1—0 defeat at newcastle on sunday. matt richie's first goal

of the season in the second half gave rafael benitez‘s team the win, and a first at home since october which also lifted them out of the bottom three and up to 13th in the table. united bossjose mourinho has still never won at st james's park. my verdict is that we could be here ten hours and we would not score a goal, but i also want to say because i think it is fair to say, that newcastle played with their lives and defended with their lives, clean sheet. i think clearly they were trying to the point and a point would be a good result for us in the relegation fight. they got us in a defensive mistake and they scored and in that moment, theyjust think about giving our lives and we are going to defend with everything.- be fair, we've had a lot of games that were doing well and we did have

luck today, playing a good team, doing everything. we were indeed lucky in the end because they were attacking and we had to defend with everything, so we were a little bit lucky but i think we deserve this lucky but i think we deserve this luck because the way we were playing and the way the working. liverpool are back into third position thanks to a 2—0 win at southampton. egyptian international mo salah scored the second, his 29th goal of the season for the club from 36 appearances in all competitions, after setting up roberto firmino for liverpool's first. jurgen klopp‘s team missed a number of chances in the second half to extend their lead, while southampton rarely threatened and drop into the premier league relegation zone. they are really good football playing side, they are strong. the first half, yes, they had put across us. first half, yes, they had put across us. ryu really organised and active in pressing, it was good,

u nfortu nately we were in pressing, it was good, unfortunately we were a little bit passive and they could play these types of balls. we struggled a bit, but we had hugo lloris, i thought played a fantastic game tonight and yeah, scored a whole lot of goals. we could have scored a lot more in the second half, i think. we could have scored a lot more in the second half, ithink. not brilliant, but it did the job, the second half, ithink. not brilliant, but it did thejob, and i'm really happy about that. huddersfield town hadn't won in 2018 going into the game against 10th placed bournemouth, but two goals in each half helped them to a 4—1 home win. david wagner's team had lost their previous five matches, and are now out of the bottom three. to be totally honest, we have started with it immediately after the man united game, when we said 0k, the man united game, when we said ok, now we have the difficult fixtures behind us, and now they start games were we probably will be competitive, more competitive than

in the games we played before. they started on tuesday in the cup, where they were great, and they continued today. in spain, barcelona's unbeaten primera division campaign continues but they were held to a goalless draw by getafe at camp nou on sunday. the result means their gap at the top is down to seven points after atletico madrid's win on saturday. elsewhere, valencia moved back to third place with a 3—1win over leva nte, while sevilla beat girona 1—0. in italy's serie a, inter have moved third with a 2—1win over bologna, meaning lazio drop to fifth after roma were 5—2 winners over bottom of the table, benevento. justin kluivert scored the opener as ajax beat fc twente 2—1 in the dutch eredivisie on sunday to cement their second place in the league. kluivert gave them the lead as the clock hit exactly three minutes, after some exquisite build up play. twente, winners

of the league just eight years ago, are struggling in the relegation zone these days, but levelled matters just after the half hour mark through their moroccan international, adnane tighadouini. then just five minutes later, hakim ziyech was fouled in the area — handing lasse schonne the chance to put his side back in front, which he duly did to keep them on the coat tails of leaders, psv eindhoven. in the portuguese primeira liga, top of the table porto were 4—0 winners away to chaves on sunday. brazilian tiquinho scored twice in the opening half but this neat play, that saw sergio 0liveira on hand to finish, showed the complete domination of porto, as they opened up a two point gap over sporting lisbon at the top of the table. that's due to sporting keeping track of porto with a 2—0 win over feirense in lisbon. two goals in the last 12 minutes helped seal the win, including this freddy montero effort. now the golf, the prodigyjunior has

one that the mac pro keystrokes, the 34—year—old florida started the day tied in the lead with the world number one, dustin johnson. a wayward round from dustinjohnson halted his challenge. just and a, fresh victory last time out, was not able to close the gap with an inconsistent round of 2—under. it was prodded junior who held on to win his first tournament since 2012 and claimed the winner's check. former world number one serena williams made her return to competitive tennis five months after giving birth. she teamed up with her sister, venus williams. us had already won the tie but this was never about the scoreline, as demonstrated by the cheers to welcome back the grandslam champion.

the sisters did not win the match though, losing in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3. now to the six nations rugby. france for 10—0 four scotland took the lead late in the second half. greg laidlaw kicked seven penalties. scotla nd laidlaw kicked seven penalties. scotland will face reigning champions england at murrayfield on the 17th of february. brazil's lucas chianca won the world surf league big wave tour challenge in portugal on sunday. the event ran over by two days in nazare due to dangerous conditions. but chianca braved the big swell of between 25 to 35 feet, to claim victory on the country's west coast, in just his second ever big wave event. that looks like tough work, doesn't

it? that is about all we have got time for on this edition of sports today. you can get all the latest sports news at our website. but from me and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. hello there. sunday was a better, brighter, sunnier day for many of us than what we saw on saturday, but there were some pretty hefty hail and snow showers around. now, for the upcoming week, it's going to be fairly unsettled. i think there's going to be a lot of rain, maybe some disruptive snow at times. it'll be quite windy too. and then signs of something a bit milder moving into the south to end the week. this is the satellite picture from the last 12 hours. you can see the showers — the speckles indicating those snow and hail showers pushing into the north and west of the country. we start monday morning off on a really cold note. widespread frost and a risk of some ice, particularly where we have the showers. now, for monday itself,

we're in between weather systems. a ridge of high pressure building in, so actually, it should be fine and dry for many of us before this system moves in for monday night, bringing us rain, sleet and snow. so it's a cold start to monday. there will be that frost around, some ice to watch out for, but plenty of sunshine around. a few wintry showers across the north and the west of the country but apart from that, most places should be dry. but it's going to be another chilly one — and temperatures generally between five to seven or eight degrees. the winds will pick up across northern ireland by the end of the day ahead of this weather system. rain, sleet and snow will push in across northern ireland, initially, giving some accumulations of snow here, and then move on into much of western britain. now, we're looking at some pretty disruptive snow, in fact, the high ground of wales, certainly for northern england and for central southern scotland, so a pretty treacherous morning commute on tuesday across central southern scotland, northern england. watch out for the snow and for the ice. this weather front will slowly move its way eastwards through the course of the day, becoming confined to eastern areas. a mix of rain and sleet i think further south.

further west, though, it brightens up into the afternoon. we should see sunshine and wintry showers returning. most of these wintry showers falling across western scotland. then we see another weather system moving in for wednesday — we do it all again basically! this will bring another spell of gale force winds as it moves up from the south—west and rain, sleet and snow. but it looks like the snow will be confined to the hills of central and northern parts of the uk, whereas further south, it should be largely of rain — that's because we're starting to see slightly less cold air moving in so i think wednesday afternoon, although it's going to be drab, cloudy and wet for most of us, see a little bit of milder air pushing into the south and the south—west but still cold in the north. then into thursday, that weather front moves away and we're into a westerly wind regime. that will feed in plenty of showers to northern and western parts of the country. again, wintry in the north. further south, there'll be mainly rain as it is going to be a little less cold in the south — temperatures in double figures here.
