LENA DUER SEIZES TOP SPOT
The German takes the lead with a very tidy 47.95.
Here comes Shiffrin...

IT'S A SWISS ONE AND TWO
Wendy Holdener polishes off a neat run but sits just behind her compatriot with a time +0.11 off Rast.
Shiffrin imminent!
09:05
CAMILLE RAST SETS THE PACE EARLY DOORS IN THE SLALOM

ALL SQUARE
This time Peterson makes no mistake, shrugging off GB's trio of yellows in the outer sections of the House to deliver with the Hammer right to the Button!
LATEST: GB 2-2 USA
08:50
IT'S A STEAL!
Tabitha Peterson attempts the take-out with the Hammer that could see USA claim three points if it goes to plan.
Fortunately for GB, it doesn't.
The final red stone only catches a slight edge of the most central yellow, failing to push it away and allowing the Brits to nick the advantage.
Elsewhere, Denmark are 6-1 up on China while Korea have a 4-0 lead over Sweden.
LATEST: GB 2-1 USA

GB MEN IN WIN OR BUST SCENARIO
Bruce Mouat's rink need to show grit and 'bouncebackability' when they meet the Americans at 13:05 GMT.
The Brits lost 9-5 to Canada on Tuesday and have the exact same record as the USA with four wins and four defeats seeing both teams locked in joint-fifth spot.
Only the top four progress from the round robin and the flawless Swiss and Canada are already through.

ALL SQUARE BUT USA SHOWING WHY THEY ARE NEAR THE SUMMIT OF THE STANDINGS
"Cool under pressure here, Rebecca Morrison secures the single," says Jez Cox on TNT Sports comms.
The Brit steers the Hammer straight down the middle to produce a take-out on a red stone in the Button. The pace almost takes the yellow out of contention, but it slows just enough to ensure GB pull level.
LATEST: GB 1-1 USA
08:25
RUN 1 IN THE WOMEN'S SLALOM COMMENCES AT 09:00 GMT
Mikaela Shiffrin gets her bid for glory and redemption in the slalom underway in bib 7.
The 30-year-old American superstar won slalom gold in 2014 and the giant slalom in 2018 but did not finish in either event in Beijing four years ago, compounding her misery with a DNF in the combined event too.
Slovakia’s reigning champion Petra Vlhova goes 23rd while three-time World Cup winner, Zrinka Ljutic from Croatia, who is regarded as a contender, will be 11th to start her first run.
Switzerland’s Camille Rast, who won the World Championships in Saalbach last year, is third up.

USA ESTABLISH AN EARLY LEAD
The opening End looked like being a blank but Tabitha Peterson saw her opportunity for the take-out via the Hammer and just about kept her own stone on the outer edge of the House.

WHY ISN’T GB'S MIA BROOKES IN THE SLOPESTYLE FINAL?
Regarded as one of the big names of snowboarding, Mia Brookes arrived in Milano Cortina with serious designs on podium success.
The 19-year-old was the sport’s youngest world champion on the senior stage in 2023 and has two Gold medals at the X Games.
However, it hasn’t quite gone to plan for the Sandbach-born teen, who followed up her fourth-placed finish in the big air event by failing to qualify for the final of the women's slopestyle – due to commence at 13:30 GMT today with the first of three runs after it was postponed yesterday due to adverse weather conditions.

New Zealand’s world champion Zoi Sadowski-Synnott is again the athlete to beat having clinched the title in Beijing and finished first in qualification ahead of her main rival for Gold, Melissa Peperkamp of the Netherlands.
Elsewhere, the men's final will commence from 10:20 GMT with another New Zealander, Dane Menzies topping qualification with a best score of 86.06.
GB's Txema Mazet Brown finished 27th in qualifying and did not progress to the battle for medals.

A CRUCIAL DAY FOR GB IN THE CURLING
There are now just three semi-final berths up for grabs in the women’s competition after round robin pacesetters Sweden qualified on Day 11 of the Games.
Rebecca Morrison’s rink - comprising Jen Dodds, Sophie Sinclair, Sophie Jackson and Fay Henderson – have it all to do to join the Swedes in the last four having won just two of their six matches so far.
The Brits are down in joint-seventh place and face a stiff test at 08:05 GMT when they lock horns with a USA team in joint-second spot.
Morrison and co will then return at 18:05 GMT to take on rock bottom Japan.

WHAT’S ON THE AGENDA ON THIS WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY IN MILANO CORTINA?
American superstar Mikaela Shiffrin came to Milano Cortina with ‘only’ two gold medals to her name from her astonishing, record-smashing career – and the most recent came in the giant slalom at the 2018 Games in PyeongChang.
So far in Italy, she has been unable to add to her tally, spurning podium positions in both the team combined and giant slalom. But today, she wants to do her skiing "justice".
Can she reclaim the slalom gold after a DNF four years ago in Beijing ended her chances?
She will take to the course for Run 1 at 9:00 UK time, before the decisive Run 2 begins at 12:30 - live on TNT Sports and discovery+.
If you can drag yourself away from the Alpine skiing, you may be tempted by seeing another modern great in action as Norway’s cross-country skiing behemoth Johannes Klaebo returns to compete in the team sprint free.
Klaebo has already made history by clinching his ninth Winter Olympic gold medal, breaking the all-time record, when Norway won the men’s cross-country skiing team relay. It was his fourth gold at the Milano Cortina Games and he is not done yet.
Qualification gets underway at 09:15, with the final taking place two hours later.
The men’s slopestyle final (10:20), women’s 4x6km relay biathlon (13:45) and men’s 500m short track and women’s 3000m relay (from 19:15) will be further medal events over the course of the day.
