Highlights:
Bobsleigh
Pilot John Jackson and his crew have had a long wait for their event on the penultimate day of these Sochi games.
Jackson and brakemen Joel Fearon, Bruce Tasker and Stuart Benson are in good shape after taking silver in the World Cup in Lake Place in December and at the European Championships in January.
"The Sochi track seems to suit my driving style quite well," said Jackson.
"We gelled with the track straight away. We came fifth in the Olympic test event in February so we are hoping to make the step up into the top three and see how we go from there."
John Baines, Lamin Deen, Benjamin Simons, and Andrew Matthews race in Great Britain's no. 2 crew.
Alpine Skiing
Britain's Dave Ryding is the Europa Cup champion in the men's slalom however Marcel Hirscher of Austria is firm favourite for the gold as reigning world champion.
Other names to keep an eye out for in this final alpine event are Germany's Felix Neureuther and Alexis Pinturault of France.
