the end of 16 years as an olympian, no glorious good via the usa's lynsey vonn. the alpine combined was the last attempt at a gold medal, she was fastest after the downhill but she needed a miracle in the slalom where her luck ran out, the 33—year—old struggled and it handed victory to the swiss. it is one of the biggest moments in my life, i think, because when you get the medal, you have worked so hard for it, for years. it was already amazing one year ago at the world championships and today, yeah, it leaves you speechless and in search for words again and it makes me so proud and so happy of everybody who helped me getting here. austria's marcel hirscher made a surprise

exits, using all of his experience, sweden's first alpine skiing gold since 1980. he has waited a long time for the golden moment. a dream come true for me. i have been fighting my whole life for this. to be able to pull this off in my fourth olympics is simply amazing. and how about this from david wise of the usa? the defending champion crashed on his first two runs but the third was good enough for the half pipe gold. so, what is next? obviously a change of image. i was kind of planning on rocking the head during the olympics but i think will shaveit during the olympics but i think will shave it all off and donated to a cancer charity, so maybe we will even auction it off, i don't know, i don't know what kind of things people do but that is kind of my plan, i will get rid of it, get rid of the flow and go back to a clean cut kid. and the raising finale to

theice cut kid. and the raising finale to the ice hockey, the penalty shoot—out the usa victorious, no fifth consecutive title for canada, helmets off to the us goaltender. —— a police officer has died in the northern spanish city of bilbao after clashes between fans ahead of the europa league game between athletic bilbao and spa rtak moscow. it's understood the officer died in hospital, where he'd been taken following a heart attack when the regional basque country police force was trying to stop street battles between supporters of the two teams. at least five people were arrested, while spartak won the second leg of the round of 32 tie 2—1, but were knocked out 11—3 on aggregate. the violence comes just months before russia hosts the world cup. on the pitch, serie a leaders napoli were knocked out at the round of 32 stage on away goals. the italians won their second leg 2—0 away to german side rb leipzig with the tie finishing 3—3. elsewhere, atletico madrid and arsenal are through to the last 16 along with the likes of borussia dortmund. chelsea's on—loan belgian striker michy batshuayi has confirmed that he suffered racial abuse while playing for dortmund away

is through to the semi—finals of the wta dubai tennis championships following a straight sets win over wild card naomi osaka. the defending champion needed one hour and 22 minutes to seal the win. the 23—year—old saw her serve broken early in the second set by osaka who was the first japanese quarterfinalist at this event since 2004, but at 4—1 down the ukrainian stormed back, winning five games in a row to finish off osaka with a net cord to claim the win and move into the last four. she'll face german sixth seed angelique kerber, who won a rematch of the 2016 us open final, beating czech karolina pliskova 6—4, 6—3 finishing with a blistering cross—court forehand. second seed garbine muguruza of spain is into the last four. the wimbledon champion was a straight sets win over fifth seed, france's caroline garcia, winning 7—5, 6—2. and she next faces 20—year—old russian daria kasatkina,

the lead at the tour of abu dhabi after winning stage two at yas beach. german rider pascal ackerman led out the sprint at the end of the flat 15a—kilometre stage, but viviani, wearing the blue of the belgian quick—step floors team, was the clear winner. so he'll be wearing the leader's red jersey on stage three, which is a 133—kilometre—long city—centre circuit in abu dhabi. eddiejones has madejust one change to his starting 15 for the six nations clash with scotland at murrayfield on saturday. nathan hughes will make his first appearance in this year's competition, while propjoe marler comes onto the bench having missed the opening two wins with suspension. here's our rugby union reporter chrisjones. lleyton hewitt was worth going to come in at number eight given his return to fitness and the return to sam simmons but apart from that, eddiejones has sam simmons but apart from that, eddie jones has gone sam simmons but apart from that, eddiejones has gone with the same 15 that crafted past wales —— ethan hughes. they look to make it three wins from three at the six nations. but how will things, murrayfield a

by the golden state warriors last year, lebron james by the golden state warriors last year, lebronjames in that team, they leave 43— 33 against the washington wizards were fourth in the eastern conference, the golden state warriors are playing a little later. until next time, by far now. —— until next time, bye for now. hello there. we have been talking for several days now about how cold the weather is on the way. over the next few days, i think you will really start to feel the effects of that colder air. some of us have already seen a little bit of snow and as we get on into next week, there could well be more on the way as we increasingly tap into this bitterly cold pool of air currently sitting across siberia. but actually, you may well think it is cold enough already. certainly as we start friday morning with a widespread frost, you can see the blue colours on the chart indicating temperatures

down below freezing — that is because skies have been clear overnight and that translates into sunny skies as we go on through the day on friday. some areas of cloud floating around as well, particularly across parts of england, but we could even see just the odd light shower here at times through the day. if we take a closer look at 3pm on our high resolution weather model, you can see large areas of clear skies expected, quite a lot of sunshine across scotland, northern ireland and north—west england. some extra cloud across the eastern side of england, but through the midlands into wales and the south—west, it should be largely sunny through the afternoon with temperatures around five or six degrees. the wind is starting to strengthen, particularly in the south. that will continue into the weekend as this area of high pressure strengthens its grip across scandinavia, squeezing its way southwards, squeezing these strong easterly winds in our direction. saturday, a chilly feeling day, quite bright though. some good spells of sunshine around. some areas of cloud floating around here and there. temperatures on the thermometer, four, five, six degrees, but remember, the strength the wind — it will feel a little colder than that. into sunday, more of the same

essentially, but a greater chance at this stage that it will bring some cloud in from the north sea towards parts of eastern scotland, north—east england and that cloud could start to produce some snow flurries at this stage. quite a chilly feeling day, to say the least. as we get into the start of the new week, that is when we really begin to bring this very cold air sitting across siberia in our direction on this strong easterly wind. so, through monday and tuesday, temperatures will struggle. the temperatures i show you here are the daytime highs — the absolute highs. temperatures for a good part will be lower than that and notice even by day somewhere like norwich will struggle to get above freezing. as we continue to tap into that colder air, there certainly is the chance for some snow in places through next week, very tough to predict exactly where at this stage — stay tuned to the forecast.
