Attention turns to the Milano Ice Skating Arena as “Quad God” Ilia Malinin leads the standings going into Friday’s free skate.
The Team USA star, who is the two-time reigning world champion making his Olympic debut, will look to hold off Japan’s Kagiyama Yuma.

Elsewhere, defending champion Hirano Ayumu and Scotty James are the headline acts heading into the snowboard men’s halfpipe final.
There is a must-watch Canada vs USA double in the curling, with both the men’s and women’s teams facing one another on Friday.
Canada also resume their men’s ice hockey campaign, with Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby and co. aiming to see off Switzerland.
