The BBC are showing replays of yesterday's ski mountaineering, where exceptionally fit competitors ski up a mountain, sprint steep stairs, and ski down amid boot-change jeopardy in high winds and heavy snow. Curated pictures from Thursday show heavy blizzard conditions and beautiful scenes. The Norwegians lead the medal table with 34 medals, the United States sit second with 27, and Italy third with 26. Forty centimetres of snow caused rescheduling, and today's program begins with the men's halfpipe and men's aerial qualifications. The schedule also features men's ice hockey semi-finals, women's cross finals, men's 15km biathlon, halfpipe and short-track finals, and curling matches.
