Day 3, Part 1 - 9.00am to 12.00pm

Hazel Irvine presents further coverage of the 22nd Winter Olympic Games, including the short track speedskating, curling, and the women's super combined.

Hazel Irvine is in Sochi to present further coverage of the 22nd Winter Olympic Games.

Today sees the start of the exciting short track speedskating, and British medal hope Elise Christie begins her Olympic campaign in the women's 500m heats. China's Wang Meng has won this event at the past two Winter Olympics, and will be the favourite again after another impressive World Cup season. The first gold medal of the Short Track will come in the men's 1500m.

Great Britain's men's and women's curling teams also begin their Olympic campaigns. Skip David Murdoch guided his team to victory against Russia at the European Championships at the end of last year, and will be looking to get off to a winning start when the teams meet again today. Later, Eve Muirhead and her crew have a tough opener against defending Olympic champions Sweden in a repeat of the 2013 World Championship final - which Muirhead and co won - and the more recent European Championship final, which they lost.

Up in the mountain resort of Rosa Khutor, the women's super combined is taking place. Consisting of both a downhill and a slalom run, it's a test of the all-round skier. Defending champion Maria Hoefl-Riesch is likely to be among those battling for the medals again.
