  • Seven gold medals will be won on Monday, though no Britons are expected to contest for medals. Among the highlights will be the chaotic dash to the finish in the men's snowboard cross.

    The round-robin match against Russia is the first of two crucial games for Britain's women. If they beat the Russians and Denmark on Monday are guaranteed a spot in the semi-finals.
