Farrell Treacy's run to the 1500m short track speed skating final was the standout showing for Team GB on a day that brought disappointment for Charlotte Bankes.
Treacy smashed his PB by nearly three seconds and recorded a new British record while finishing ninth but world champion Bankes exited at the quarter-final stage in the exciting and unpredictable sport of snowboard cross.
Here's what happened on Day 5.
Record-breaking Treacy makes short track final
Disappointment for Bankes
Guest takes 21st in women's slalom
Day 6: Men's and women's curling kicks off with skeleton also underway
TREACY TAKES PLAUDITS ON ICE
Farrell Treacy smashed his personal best and set a new British record as he finished ninth in the men’s 1500m short track speed skating final.
Treacy stopped the clock at 2:11.988 and in doing so he became Team GB’s first male short track finalist since 2014 when Jack Whelbourne took seventh in the same event in Sochi.
There was a ten-man final with Treacy making the cut after Canada’s Charles Hamelin was disqualified for attempting to illegally overtake him in the semi.
Kathryn Thomson was unable to progress from the women's 1000m heats in Beijing but virtually matched her PB in a race where a new Olympic record was set.

BANKES BLOW ON SNOW
Charlotte Bankes admitted she was incredibly disappointed to exit the women’s snowboard cross at the quarter-final stage but backed the good results to come for Team GB.
The 26-year-old world champion arrived in Beijing fresh from an impressive World Cup campaign, which has so far seen her pick up three wins, and qualified second fastest for the knockout rounds.
But after progressing through the first round, Bankes’ Team GB debut ended in the quarter-finals as despite leading for much of the race she was pushed wide, allowing her rivals through on the inside, and finished third.

GUEST EYES MILAN AFTER SLALOM
Charlie Guest has her eyes on a third Winter Olympics after capping a remarkable journey to Beijing by finishing 21st in the women’s slalom.
Guest went well in her first run at the Yanqing National Alpine Ski Centre, recording a time of 53.84 seconds to leave her 15th, while teammate Alex Tilley unfortunately did not first.
And Guest appeared to again be making good progress down the Chinese slopes second time around until a late error forced her wide and left her narrowly outside the top 20.

Opening Ceremony flagbearer Eve Muirhead will kick off her fourth Olympic Winter Games by leading her rink in round robin games against Switzerland and Sweden.
Jen Dodds, who is an integral part of Team Muirhead, and Bruce Mouat will hope to put the disappointment of missing out on a mixed doubles medal behind them as the next wave of competition gets underway, with the men playing Italy on Thursday.
British fans will get their first glimpse of skeleton as Marcus Wyatt and Matt Weston take to the ice for heats one and two in the men's individual competition.
Team GB looking are to keep up their record of winning a medal at every Games since the discipline returned at Salt Lake City 2002.
Finally, there's more snowboard cross action as Huw Nightingale makes his first appearance of the Games at Genting Snow Park.
