Team GB made a strong start to the men's and women's curling as Team Mouat beat Italy and Team Muirhead recovered from a narrow loss to Switzerland to stun Sweden on Day 6.
But there is work to do for skeleton stars Matt Weston and Marcus Wyatt as they aim to force their way into medal contention in tomorrow's final two runs.
Here's what happened on Day 6.
Men's and women's curling gets underway in the Ice Cube
Skeleton starts with Matt Weston and Marcus Wyatt taking to the ice
Huw Nightingale makes his Team GB debut in the men's snowboard cross
Day 7: Medallist Laura Deas slides again
MOUAT AND MUIRHEAD DELIVER THE GOODS
Bruce Mouat was buzzing to bounce back from mixed doubles disappointment and begin the men’s tournament by beating Italy 7-5.
And his playing partner Jen Dodds also ended the day on a high after Team Muirhead recovered from a narrow defeat to Switzerland with a resounding 8-2 defeat of Olympic champions Sweden.
Skip Eve Muirhead put the disappointment of missing a draw to beat the world champions in the morning session behind her and delivered a number of stunning shots against the Swedes, including a rare four-shot end.

MORE TO COME FROM SKELETON MEN
Matt Weston and Marcus Wyatt admitted there is work to do after the first two runs if they are to enhance Team GB's golden skeleton legacy.
Team GB have won medals at all seven Games at which skeleton has featured, including all five since it was reintroduced to the programme in 2002.
But only one of them has been in the men's discipline, Dom Parsons' bronze in PyeongChang, and if there is to be another at Yanqing National Sliding Centre then Weston, 13th, and Wyatt, 17th, will need to shave seconds off their times.

NIGHTINGALE SETS SIGHTS ON TEAM EVENT AFTER GAMES BOW
Huw Nightingale is eager to build upon his first experience at the Olympics, having bowed out of the men’s snowboard cross in the 1/8 finals.
The 20-year-old raced alongside the eventual gold medal winner Alessandro Haemmerle, who qualified in Nightingale’s heat alongside American Mick Dierdorff, but was unable to force his way to the front and is excited to team up with Charlotte Bankes in the team event on Saturday.

DAY 7: MUZZY, MOUAT, MUIRHEAD AND MORE SKELETON
Team Mouat will look to double down on their opening men's curling round robin win over Italy with fixtures against USA and Norway on Friday.
While Team Muirhead will look to carry the momentum from their convincing display against Sweden into their next game against South Korea.
Elsewhere on ice, Matt Weston and Marcus Wyatt will complete their men's skeleton campaigns with runs three and four as they aim to propel themselves up the rankings from 13th and 17th respectively.
And 2018 bronze medallist Laura Deas kickstarts her Games in the women's skeleton - an event won by Lizzy Yarnold four years ago as she defended her Olympic title - alongside Brogan Crowley.
17th wasn't the start to the Olympics I'd dreamed of😢 The pace today was ridiculous & I tried to hang on a little too long. At this altitude, once you're in the red, there's no coming back. After 9km I was definitely in the red😵 I'll be back stronger for the next ones though💪

Finally, there is more cross-country skiing as the British trio of Andrew Musgrave, Andrew Young and James Clugnet race in the 15km classic.
