The XV Olympic Winter Games live from Calgary Men's Downhill Introduced by Desmond Lynam
At Nakiska, just outside
Calgary, the world's fastest men compete for the most coveted prize in alpine ski-ing. The favourite is
Switzerland's PIRMIN
ZURBRIGGEN, but his fellow countryman, World
Champion PETER MUELLER , aims to go one better than his silver medal in Sarajevo. Then he was pipped by the brash American
Bill Johnson , but a greater threat this time are the Italian
MICHAEL MAIR and ROB BOYD of Canada. MARTIN BELL -
18th four years ago - carries British hopes once again.
Also today, the first medals of the 1988 games were decided in the women's
10,000m cross-country ski-ing and there's action from the ice hockey tournament - the USSR began their title defence earlier today - and the men's luge. Commentators

The story of America's civil rights years 1954-65.
In December 1964 MARTIN LUTHER KING JR received the Nobel Peace Prize. Later that month he went to Selma, Alabama, to lend impetus to the campaign for black voting rights. A 55-mile march from Selma to Montgomery was planned. But first the demonstrators had to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Governor Wallace had other ideas.

Fourth of six films about some of the 20th century's most enduring designs. The Aga Cooker
It's hard to imagine anything more at odds with the hi-tech, microwave, designer-kitchen age than the Aga cooker.
It's formidably heavy. It's far from cheap to buy and install. And yet its popularity has grown ever since it came to England from Sweden in 1929. More than just a commercial success story, it has come to symbolise the quintessence of upper- and middle-class rural life. In Chiswick and the Isle of Dogs it suggests the warm heart of the English country home.
Narrated by Jancis Robinson With Sir Roy Strong

The latest action and reaction from the second day of competition in Calgary
- — Introduced by Steve Rider Ski Jumping
In the first of two great Jumping contests in the Olympic Park, the 70m, MATTI NYKAENEN of Finland was highly fancied to improve on his silver medal of four years ago. The British entrant was the gallant EDDIE EDWARDS from Cheltenham who started to compete internationally only last year. Plus highlights of the men's downhill - perhaps the most spectacular event of the games - and news of progress in the men's luge, and ice hockey championship.
