Jonathan Edwards presents further coverage of the day's events in Sochi.

The female cross-country skiers contest the 10km classic race. Marit Bjoergen's bronze over this distance in Vancouver was one of five medals the Norwegian scooped at the 2010 Winter Olympics, and she will expect to be among the front-runners today.

American duo Heather Richardson and Brittany Bowe are likely to be the leading contenders for gold in the women's speedskating 1000m. Richardson has won three of this season's four World Cup races, but Bowe broke the world record when she won the meet at Salt Lake City in November.

The men's biathlon 20km is a gruelling test of endurance and skill, and one in which France's Martin Fourcade will expect to excel. The 25-year-old is the reigning world champion over the distance, and has been in excellent World Cup form this season. His biggest rival may be Norwegian Emil Hegle Svendsen, who won Olympic gold in this event in 2010.

There will also be action from a key game in the men's ice hockey tournament.
