for now, though, there will be relief no one was badly hurt, on a day when extreme sport certainly lived up to its name. andy swiss, bbc news, pyeongchang. early morning here and organisers will keep theirfingers early morning here and organisers will keep their fingers crossed for the weather. the wind is howling already but the good news for spectators is temperatures are forecast to rise. could this be the day team gb win their first medal? speed skater elise christie going for gold in the 500 metres. elise christie is a triple world champion and probably britain's best hope of and probably britain's best hope of a medal at these games. she is competing in three events and the 500 metres probably her least favoured but she looked impressive in qualifying where she set an olympic record. four years ago in sochi she was disqualified for all

three events and she received death threats and thought about quitting but she is back with a real chance of a gold medal. team gb are targeting their best ever winter olympics performance between four and ten medals. they have had a disappointment so far, particularly in snowboarding, but they will be hopeful elise christie can finally get them off the mark. looking forward to it. thank you, andy. newsnight is on bbc two. tonight is stop and search the best way to deal with knife crime? we hearfrom young men on their experience with the police and from the authorities. join me now on bbc two. good . hello and welcome to sportsday —

i'm hugh ferris. the headlines tonight. eden hazard helps take chelsea back into the premier league top four... and the pressure off manager antonio conte, as they beat west brom 3—0. swept away in the slopestyle. britain's aimee fuller is just one snowboarder to crash in vicious cross winds at the winter olympics... and coming up... two years since the crash that could have paralysed her, we speak to cyclist vicky barnes on the end of the long road back... thanks forjoining us.

chelsea emphatically ended their losing streak in the premier league, beating the bottom side west brom 3—0 at stamford bridge. it reduces the pressure on chelsea manager antonio conte, as tim hague reports. how antonio conte could do with a player like frank lampa rd how antonio conte could do with a player like frank lampard at the moment, but if he thought the italian‘s position was precarious, spare a thought for west brom. bottom and seven points from safety, could things get worse? daniel sturridge suffering more injury problems and off after three minutes. his replacement then had the kind of chance any struggling side could only dream of, but while not ahead they were not behind either thanks to their goalkeeper, denying chelsea's use tracker olivier giroud, yet the frenchman would play his part soon after by

assisting eden hazard for the game's opening goal. and while that was cause for celebration, chelsea were farfrom cause for celebration, chelsea were far from convincing at times, cause for celebration, chelsea were farfrom convincing at times, like here. salomon rondon did all the ha rd here. salomon rondon did all the hard work only for thibaut courtois to stop him when it mattered most. you could only fearfor alan pa rd ew‘s you could only fearfor alan pardew‘s side after that and so it proved. straight down the other end, the ball going the home side's way and victor moses all but finished the contest before hazard did. the brawl during's brilliance beggars belief at times this was another such occasion. his manager's position a little less precarious after this but the west brom, the only way is down at the moment. next, to south korea, and it was already the coldest winter olympics... now it could be the windiest. athletes literally being blown off course was the theme of day three in pyeongchang, with performances, and often pride, being the victims. joe lynskey has more. in bracing the elements is the way

of these athletes, but even they have their limits. the wind here brews in from siberia. it brings the danger. we already half an hour delayed, it is absolutely blowing a hu rley delayed, it is absolutely blowing a hurley out here. it puts the women's slopestyle final in doubt, but after waiting an hour, they ruled conditions had cleared. the wind, though, had only subsided, not gone away. 0h, goodness me. this was a lady from slovakia, remarkably she was ok, she wrote again, but these slopes were barely suited for style. we are absolutely on the limit of running this contest here. for britain's aimee fuller, this was an unexpected shot at the medals. with one run left, she tried to take on the win. she has gone huge! it was honestly like riding into a wind tunnel, absolutely little. it is not

how i planned and howl tunnel, absolutely little. it is not how i planned and how i visualised for years of prep work to go into today, and i don't think it was a true show of women's female slopestyle, which is a real shame prosper. among the guests and the fall, one rider played the smart game, the usa's jamie anderson took the right amount of risk, a gold earned by concentration amidst a final clouded by controversy. things are more serene final clouded by controversy. things are more serene inside the ice rink. no weather problems here. the first three days have seen canada ceiling gold with brilliance synchronicity put up you often up against the elements, the medals go to those here who turned danger into style. let's have a look at the other medals that have been won today. lara dahlmeier of germany made history the biathlon winning io—kilometre pursuit title, with a near—flawless shooting performance.

she's the first woman to win the sprint and pursuit double, after picking up herfirst gold on saturday. france's martin fourcade has won the men's 12.5 kilometre pursuit. he was already his country's most decorated winter olympian — this brings his tally of golds to three. canada's mikael kingsbury is the men's moguls champion. he's dominated the event since winning silver in sochi four years ago, with 13 straight world cup wins coming into this games — he's now added olympic gold to his haul. ireen wust became the most successful dutch olympian of all time — she won the women's isoom speed skating title. it's her tenth games medal, which also meant she became the most successful olympic speed skater. and in the women's ski jump, favourite maren lundby won gold with a massive finaljump of a hundred and ten metres. she held her nerve on the last leap to win gold by 11! points. it's norway's second gold of the games — their first in women's ski jumping

let's round—up some of the day's other sports stories now, and ireland's robbie henshaw has been ruled out of the rest of the six nations. the leinster centre dislocated his shoulder in the act of scoring his second try during ireland's bonus—point win over italy in dublin. henshaw has already undergone an operation on his right shoulder, but will not recover in time to play a further part in the tournament. propjoe marler says he has been given a stern warning about his discipline by england head coach eddiejones. marler has missed four internationals this season through suspension, but is set to make his return in england's next game against scotland. england captain eoin morgan is a doubt for tomorrow's t20 tri—series match against new zealand. he missed saturday's defeat to australia with a groin injury and he may not be fit in time. sojos buttler is ready to stand in again as skipper. and it's been announced st andrews will host the 150th open championship in 2021. it'll be the 30th time the scottish course has staged the major. last held there in 2015,

when american zach johnson was the winner following a play—off. now two years ago, cyclist vicky barnes, or vicky williamson, as she was known then, was nearly paralysed after a terrible crash. since then she's been on a long recovery road, and last week started training again with the british team in manchester. she hopes to return to competition at this summer's european championships in glasgow. tom williams has been to see her. backin back in the saddle, and back on track. a miraculous recovery from a career threatening crash. two years ago, doctors feared vicky barnes would be paralysed, never being able to walk, let alone ride again. everyone calls me a bit of a miracle still at the minute. but i don't ta ke still at the minute. but i don't take it for granted. like i've said, the whole journey, i have always

been grateful to everyone's help and i'm gratefulfor where i am now, and the fact that i can even give this a go. i didn't even think i would walk normally be a normal person again, so normally be a normal person again, so the fact i can represent my country again is just like, so the fact i can represent my country again isjust like, yes, mad. for vicky, april's commonwealth games on the gold coast will come too soon. her focus games on the gold coast will come too soon. herfocus now, this summer's european championships in glasgow, a chance to test her strength, her speed in major competition. i've been through the worst, i've overcome all these injuries, i've been through pain, so my pain threshold is definitely higher than what it used to be, not through choice obviously. but i think i have got a bit of an edge over competitors, and i can push my body to a new limit, so it is just an exciting time for me. she is a positive person, isn't she? she is incredibly positive. right at the beginning, we said as she needs to beginning, we said as she needs to be patient, which wasn't one of her virtues previously. she worked

incredibly hard over the past year, the first year was ready to fire obviously. she has done a lot of incredibly hard work, but not here on the bike obviously put up vicky crashed here in rotterdam injanuary 2016. racing was cancelled, fans asked to leave. she had broken her neck, back and pelvis. she can't remember the accident. she's never seen remember the accident. she's never seen it. vicky has enjoyed numerous operations to peace back together. she's 2a now, and still hopes her best days are come. my body is actually stronger than before the crash. the numbers i have been heading in the gym are actually better than what they were before, so better than what they were before, so in that sense obviously my body has been through all the trauma, but it has actually come out probably better functioning, and stronger than it was before, just because i have had all the time to kind of stripped everything down and start from square one. so yes, it is like vicky version two. she missed out on rio. the tokyo olympics gives vicky mark to a second stance chance, but

there are still a long way ahead. we all wish her well come in no doubt. the coverage of day four in pyeongchang begins after midnight, the feature from a british perspective, elise christie, her next round in the 500 metres short track speed skating is underweight at ten o'clock in the morning. if you are staying up enjoyed that that is all from sportsday. coming up in a moment on bbc news, it is time for the papers. good night. with me are martin bentham, home affairs editor for the london evening standard, and times columnistjenni russell. many of the front pages are in, so let's take a look. the telegraph leads with the ongoing scandal surrounding oxfam — with claims of abuse in charity shops involving staff, as well as overseas aid workers. the i takes up the same story on its front page — focusing on the resignation of oxfam's deputy chief executive. that story features in the guardian too — which also has big picture of british snowboarder aimee fuller,

falling victim of the gusty winds at the winter olympics in pyeongchang. the metro carries a photo of one of the survivors of the grand canyon helicopter crash — in which three people were killed. the express focuses on a report which says that drugs used to treat arthritis might also cut the risk of dementia. the financial times' top story is barclays' ongoing legal battle over alleged cash injections from qatari investors. and the mirror leads on apparent visits made by meghan markle to the victims and survivors of the grenfell tower fire — with the paper dubbing her as the ‘new people's princess'. so our main story tonight — the allegations against oxfam staff — makes most of the front pages of tomorrow's papers. so let's start with the is coverage. and i am ashamed of this happened on my watch, says the woman who resigned, but possibly seven years

later? yes. at least somebody has taken responsibility, so credit to her, in that at least. clearly what has happened here, she has admitted she was international programmes director at the time and failed to do enough when the concerns about the main perpetrator and one of his staff were raised in chad, and then he was allowed to move to high et, where the new allegations have since surfaced and led to all this terrible concern about what has been happening at oxfam. she has resigned, the chief executive remains under pressure, because he was not chief executive of the time, but still, there ongoing questions which we will talk about in a second about how quickly they acted, not just at the time in haiti, but also subsequent to that, and whether they have done enough onwards. and the paton tapp the i, do you get the sense that the papers are making any

of that state? it is hard to know what the chains of responsibility are comment is difficult to know what oversightjudy are comment is difficult to know what oversight judy was, of the charity commission or what oxfam told them and all of that is yet to be covered. i think it is pretty striking that having watched the way that some of oxfam's executors have responded today. my faith in the
