Clare Balding and Graham Bell introduce live coverage of the women's downhill from Whistler Creekside, with Britain's Chemmy Alcott looking to make a big impression after her strong showing in Turin at the last Winter Olympics.

American star Lindsey Vonn is the one to beat though. Vonn won the crystal globe for best competitor in this discipline last season and, despite injuring her left arm in a crash two months ago, has dominated again this year. Commentators are Matt Chilton and Kerrin Lee-Gartner.

Also news of curling where Britain's women are playing the first match of their campaign against China.
