Winter Olympics 2026: Kirsty Muir and Eileen Gu bid for gold in slopestyle final – live

• Medal table | Live scores and schedule | Results | Briefing

• Team GB dream of Magic Monday | And email Daniel

Which of these events is most terrifying? This a question that reminds me of when a teacher asked five-year-old me which hand I wanted to be caned on, and I kept saying neither – yes, a real man would’ve said either or both – except the other way around, the answer being all of them. But for the less lily-livered, there must be an answer.

The slalom section of this competition is tomorrow, which is to say the downhillers go today, then the times of the two team members are added together, with the quickest taking gold. Germany now lead, having gone faster than Switzerland.

US not trying to dismantle Nato or undermine world order, says ambassador – Europe live

Matthew Whittaker, the US ambassador to Nato, responds to criticism in the Munich Security Conference report

• Jimmy Lai sentenced to 20 years in prison for national security offences

In its section on Europe, the Munich Security Conference report has also warned that the continent was entering “a prolonged era of confrontation, as Russia’s full-scale war of aggression and expanding hybrid campaign dismantle the remnants of the post-cold war cooperative security order.”

It also added that:

“Washington’s gradual retreat from its traditional role as Europe’s primary security guarantor – reflected in wavering support for Ukraine and threatening rhetoric on Greenland – is heightening Europe’s sense of insecurity and exposing its unfinished transition from security consumer to security provider.”

“Analysts widely view these operations as deliberate efforts by Moscow to probe Europe’s defences, sow division, intimidate publics, and weaken support for Ukraine by diverting attention toward domestic security. Europe now faces the challenge of proactively deterring further provocations while avoiding inadvertent escalation.”

“European leaders have long refrained from overt criticism of US policies. Instead, they have pursued a dual strategy: striving to keep Washington engaged at almost any cost while cautiously preparing for greater autonomy. …

Recent confrontations over Greenland, in turn, suggest that Europe’s strategy of accommodation may be reaching its limits.”

“Given the urgency of these tasks and the limits of consensus-based decision-making, progress will depend on courageous leadership coalitions.

Smaller avant-gardes, such as the Weimar Plus countries (France, Germany, Poland, and the UK) or the European Group of Five (the former plus Italy), will be essential to drive defense industrial consolidation, articulate a coherent European vision for Ukraine, and prepare the EU for enlargement. These steps will involve sharing costs and political risk.
