Winter Olympics LIVE: Russian skater Kamila Valieva will return to ice as Eileen Gu wins silver

LIVE – Updated at 05:13

Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva will return to the ice for the women’s short programme, despite a court ruling that she tested positive for a banned substance.

The 15-year-old is still subject to disciplinary procedures but has been allowed to compete by a panel of three arbitrators appointed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, as Russia tries to land a clean sweep of medals in the event.

If she wins the event, for which she is an overwhelming favourite, the IOC has said she will not be honoured in a medal ceremony until an investigation into the doping allegations is complete.

China’s Eileen Gu, 18, won gold last week in big air, and will try to become the first freestyle skier to win two golds in one Winter Olympics when she goes in the slopestyle final.

Gu’s strongest event, the halfpipe, takes place later this week.

Kirsty Muir and Katie Summerhayes will try to end Team GB’s medal drought after also reaching the slopestyle final.

American skier Mikaela Shiffrin has said she will take part in the women’s downhill, in which she has only raced three times in the last two years.

Shiffrin will take part in the event with an eye on the combined race later this week, for which she is the current world champion.

Austria’s Anna Gasser, who won the second big gold medal in big air, said it was an “unexpected” victory for her today.

Describing it as her biggest achievement, she said
