Jutta Leerdam gold, Netherlands one-two in women’s 1000m speed skating
What a finale. The last pair of the day, facing a new Olympic record having just been set, only to see it last just a few minutes. Leerdam is powerful on her start, clocks one lap in just over 26 seconds, and finishes with her height and her long strides 1:12:31. Her teammate, Femke Kok, looks on, not knowing what to think by the looks of it, some poignancy to her expression seeing her own possible gold medal become silver but seeing her national team take the top two spots in this race. Leerdam can’t believe she’s done it. Last race, last chance, the perfect performance. She pulls off her racing hood, shakes her long hair loose, and glides around the track for a little longer, then eventually pulls up at one of the soft barriers and collapses across it, eyeliner leaving tracks across her cheeks as she weeps and weeps.
Her opponent in that race, the gold medallist last time, Tigaki Miho finishes with brozne this time for Japan, a much more reserved expression on her face as she slows down.
Gold for Mathilde Gremaud in the freeski slopestyle, the Swiss reigning champ going back to back after a huge battle in the first two runs with Eileen Gu of China, who fell on the third. Canada’s Megan Oldham won bronze.
n
Disappointment for GB in two of the trick events, with Kirsty Muir fourth on that ski run, and Mia Brookes the same placing after not completing her last snowboard jump attempt in the women’s Big Air
n
The Swiss men’s team won the combined slalom, Franjo van Allmen and Tanguy Nef the winners ahead of Austria and the other Swiss pair of Odermatt and Meillard.

Jutta Leerdam might have provided the image of the day, breaking down in profuse tears after an iron-willed performance in the final race of the women’s 1000m speed skating, having to break an Olympic record set minutes earlier to do so.
n
Phillip Raimund did not fly the furthest, but won gold in the men’s normal hill ski jumping. In one of the stranger sports going around, he recorded slightly shorter jumps than the silver medallist and one of the two dead-heat bronze medallists, but the judging component gave him a higher score on form.
n
The snowboard jumps event was won by Murase Kokomo, the most consistent jumper across three rounds to get gold for Japan. New Zealand get their first medal of the Games thanks to Zoi Sadowski Synett’s silver, with Yu Seungeun coming from nowhere with a breakout bronze for Korea.
n
Australia’s Tess Coady finished a creditable seventh in that event, but will need to level up her complexity to go higher in future. The other Aussie, Meila Stalker, landed one very good jump but not the other two.
n
GB’s mixed curling team will play off for bronze against Italy after going down to Sweden.

Talk about leaving your run late… Philipp Raimund roars on a teammate’s shoulders after winning the gold with the final jump of the night. He scores 138.5 on that jump, the highest mark of the day, and one that takes his combined score to 274.1.
