elsewhere today, great britain's pair of charlotte banks and hugh nightingale finished sixth in the mixeam gb are still without a medal. i'm hearing that there is disappointment and frustration in the camp, but not deflation at this stage. hopes remain in the carling and eddie bobsleigh. elsewhere today, we have had an update on the ongoing saga related to the teenage skating prodigy valieva. we have heard from the... the world anti—doping agency and the international skating union against the russian authorities�* decision to left her provisional suspension after she tested positive for a banned substance. we now know the hearing will take place in beijing tomorrow evening with a decision expected on monday after. valieva practised today and that is because, as things stand, she will be any women's singles event on tuesday, where she is the favourite for gold. but that decision now lies in the hands of a three—person panel, who are dealing with a case that is both because it concerns russia and doping, but also deeply troubling because it concerns a 15—year—old athlete. while team gb s

great britain are in the final! peechless right now, but, like, what a moment. yeah, it sounds amazing to to say that we're in the olympic final. but earlier, britain's hopes in the skiing went rapidly downhill. zoe atkin fell notjust once but twice in the final of the halfpipe, and had to settle for ninth. oh, it's massive, isn't it? the gold, though, was never in doubt. the extraordinary eileen gu of china soaring to her third medal of the games. what a breathtaking talent eileen gu is, and what delight for the host nation. and with her second gold medal here in beijing, she's proving to be perhaps the star of these games. but the name of these games is surely kamila valieva, the russian teenager who failed a drugs test, was cleared to compete, but whose hopes last night ended in tears. today, the lack of sympathy shown by her entourage was criticised at the highest level. it was chilling to see this rather than to try to to help her. you could feel this chilling atmosphere. thomas bach added he was very disturbed
