Olympics 2010 - Vancouver 2010 - Day 9: Part 1

Hazel Irvine hosts live coverage from Vancouver. There's live coverage of Great Britain's latest women's curling group game against the USA. Eve Muirhead's team will have to be on form against an experienced USA team who are desperate to make up for a poor showing at the 2006 Games. Commentators are Steve Cram and Rhona Martin. The bobsleigh competition gets under way at the Whistler Sliding Centre with the first two runs in the two-man bob. Germany's Andre Lange, who won the two-man and four-man titles in Turin, is back for more and few would bet against him adding to his incredible haul of 17 career world and Olympic medals. Commentators are Paul Dickenson and Colin Bryce. In short track there's live coverage of the women's 1500m and men's 1000m finals. In 2002, Australia's Stephen Bradbury memorably won the men's 1000m by taking advantage of a four-man crash on the final turn to move from last to first. The man who won silver on that occasion, Apolo Anton Ohno, is gunning for gold this time. Commentators are Hugh Porter and Wilf O'Reilly. In ski Jumping, medals in the large hill competition will be decided today and Austria's Thomas Morgenstern will be back to defend his title although his young compatriot Gregor Schlierenzauer is the sport's rising star. Look out also for Simon Ammann, who is back eight years after winning two Olympic golds in Salt Lake City. Commentator: Paul Dickenson The men's speed skating 1500m final looks to be a two-way tussle between great American rivals Shani Davis, the world record holder at this distance, and Chad Hedrick. Commentator: Rob Walker.
