Clare Balding presents from Sochi. The ice dance comes to its conclusion with the free dance. Plus action from the two-man bobsleigh, men's aerials and men's team ski jumping.

Clare Balding is in Sochi with further coverage of the Winter Olympics. The ice dance comes to its conclusion with the free dance. This segment of the competition, where skaters have licence to unleash their own creativity, is always one of the highlights of the Games, and has provided many spectacular memories over the years - for British viewers, Torvill and Dean's famous Bolero routine remains one of the iconic moments of the Winter Olympics. That gold-winning performance in Sarajevo in 1984 was the last time Britain struck figure skating gold - the top prize this time seems destined to go to either world champions Meryl Davis and Charlie White of the USA, or their big rivals and training partners Tessa Moir and Scott Virtue of Canada, who are the defending Olympic champions. Commentary by Sue Barker and Robin Cousins.

There is also live coverage of the two-man bobsleigh, where the medals will be decided with the final two runs. The favourites include Germany's Kevin Kuske, a winner in this event in both 2006 and 2010.

There is also men's aerials action which sees skiers jump up to 20 metres in the air while performing spins and twists. Aleksei Grishin won Belarus's first-ever Winter Olympic gold in Vancouver and will look to defend his title in Sochi. 

Just as spectacular is the men's team ski jumping. Each four-man team take turns to jump Sochi's large hill - covering distances of approximately 125m. Power, balance and an unflinching resolve are vital, but it is not just about distance - points are also awarded for style. Austria are the reigning Olympic and world champions, with Germany their closest challengers.
