Live updates from Day Two of the Winter Olympics are underway, with the day’s action spanning a headline moment in the snow and a milestone for Australian competitors. The live blog tracks the action as Mathilde Gremaud is reported to defend her slopestyle crown, while Australia pursues an Aussie ice dancing comeback as Holly Harris and Jason Chan prepare to take the ice. Tess Coady and Meila Stalker are also in the frame for the big air final, giving Australian fans a broad spread of hopes for the day ahead.
Across the venue, the focus for Ocean State fans and national pride alike is clear: a strong showing from Australian athletes across disciplines, from the halfpipe to the ice. The day’s coverage is built to capture real-time results and the evolving narrative of how a relatively small team stacks up against squads from nations with longer Olympic pipelines. In ice dancing, Harris and Chan represent more than a single event; their appearance marks a renewed ambition within a discipline that has historically seen limited Australian presence at the top level. Meanwhile, the big air stage for Coady and Stalker adds a different flavour to the national effort, pairing risk and athleticism in jumps that can redefine a nation’s standing in the event and boost momentum for snow sports back home.
