Olympics 2010 - Vancouver 2010 - Day 15: Part 1

Hazel Irvine and Alain Baxter host coverage from Vancouver. There is coverage of the women's slalom from Whistler, with Swedish star Anja Paerson defending her Olympic crown. The 28-year-old plans to retire at the end of the season and would love to sign off with a third Olympic slalom medal. There is also action from the women's PGS snowboarding final and the first two runs of the four-man bobsleigh. Steve Cram and Rhona Martin have live coverage of the women's curling final which, given curling's popularity in Canada, has been sold out for months. The Canadian team won the gold medal when curling made its Olympic debut in 1998. Who will be crowned champions this time? Bob Ballard and Brent Pope provide commentary for coverage of the men's ice hockey semi-finals from the Canada Hockey Place. With a capacity of just under 20,000, it should be an atmosphere to savour, especially if the Canadian hockey team can deliver on the big stage. The final day of short track features the men's 500m, women's 1000m and men's 5000m relay finals. Apolo Anton Ohno is back to defend his 500m title, having set an Olympic record to win in style four years ago. Commentators: Hugh Porter and Wilf O'Reilly. This programme is also available on the BBC HD channel and digital viewers can access more live coverage of events via BBCi on the red button and broadband.
