Super saturday could have further medal opportunities with freestyle skiing and speed track skating. There was disappointment in the mens Cross Country skiing with Andrew Musgrave finishing way down in 28. Joining me now is Maisie Potter who just missed out on a place in team gb because you broke your heel. It must be terrible watching from afar but fantastic to see some of your team mates getting on the medal table . It is really great for the rest of the team. It will give them motivation now. Your event, the snowboard cross, it is really something. A real star of the sport at the moment took gold. She has been super dominant all season so she has been super dominant all season so it is great to see her win at the Winter Olympics. The course is amazing. Bigjumps, very technical. It is fantastic to see how close they get. Look at that, it is amazing. It gives you an idea of how big the jumps are. Is amazing. It gives you an idea of how big thejumps are. Plus, with five other snowboarders around you you have to be really good. Is it read to have so many Still Standing . Not in the final, they are top level and they are used to am racing side by side. The battle for second and third is quite something. The girl in second is from france, 16 years old. And the olympic champion always performs on the second half of the course and catches up. You can see the emotions from everyone. Brilliant, a gold medalfor italy. Lets try and get into the mind of Lizzy Yarnold and laura deas overnight. They are in bronze and forth for great britain. That must be terrifying. Will they get any sleep tonight . I think there will be a lot of nervous out there but they will also be excited to perform. To go out there and get it done, i think they will be excited. And your recovery, you had a bit of a mishap recently . I broke my heel in an 0lympic qualifier. It can be brutal at times. And you fell over recently . Sorry, was that a secret . yes, i fell over we wish you all the best with your recovery and hopefully the next 0lympics, you will be there. Here is a reminder of what you can look forward to overnight. Some of the key events out of pyeongchang. Izzy atkin and katie summerhays are in the freestyle skiing.

The Winter Olympics across the bbc and so is the fa cup. Its an fa cup weekend, quarterfinal places to be won, but there are actually two fifth round ties tonight. Leicester are at home to Sheffield United and chelsea host hull. John murray is at Stamford Bridge for us. There cannot be too many who are expecting an upset this evening. 0rdinarily, you would expect chelsea to be strong favourites. They are particularly so this evening. Hull city have problems with injury, suspension and in eligibility. Three of their young defenders are chelsea players on loan with hull city and cannot play this evening. They will certainly be missed and while chelsea are intending to have one or two youngsters of their own involved this evening, anything other than a regulation chelsea victory would be a big surprise. Lets head to the king power stadium now for tonights other tie. Premier League Leicester facing Sheffield Wednesday and Colin Hazelden is there for us. Yes, it is last 16 of the fa cup tie. Leicester city against Sheffield United. Leicester city won the premier league, they have never won the premier league. They have never won the fa cup. Lets talk to gerry taggart. Could this be their season . Could be. They have shown in both cup competitions that they have taken them seriously. I give them a good chance to go far. Sheffield united have been involved in quite some fixtures and they have got close in the past. It will be a test. There will be no easy games. Sheffield will have a game plan. They will stop leicester doing what they do best. We are at home and under the lights at the king power stadium. There is a bit of a subplot. Riyad mahrez, after sitting at home, is this a chance for him . He is somebody who loves playing football. I think tonight he will let the football do the talking. That is very years at home, he is at his best on a football pitch. Two opportunities to get into europe, a bit of a mini season, do they have to gearup and bit of a mini season, do they have to gear up and have a tilt at these matches . I think seventh place is well within their grasp and that is potentially a european spot there. If you ask the fans, any home fans, they love a good cup run. They want to get to wembley and the Leicester City fans are no different. They have been to the fa cup four times to the final and never won. Lets give the fans something to cheer about. That is jerrys point of view from the leicester point of view. There will be a lot of Sheffield United fans who are hoping for an upset. They are eyeing the championship play offs. Kick off there is 7. 45. Commentary on five live sports extra and cheslea against hull, thats on five live. Kick off at 8.

Not all the fans are happy about his return, remembering that he walked out on scotland after 10 games to join Birmingham City in 2007. Heres our scotland Football Correspondent chris mclaughlin. Scotla nd scotland are going back to the future and a familiar face has a familiar battle cry. I am up for a challenge, i believe i am the right quy challenge, i believe i am the right guy for thejob. Challenge, i believe i am the right guy for the job. After research which turned into a saga, he signed a two year deal. He was not a top target, he doesnt care. If Michael Oneill target, he doesnt care. If michael 0neill had taken it, he was the first choice, i accept that, but i see it as fate and it is meant to be. What would you say to the fans . There are a few dissenting voices. What would you say to those who say he walked away, he should not be getting thejob again, he walked away, he should not be getting the job again, there should not be any going back . |j getting the job again, there should not be any going back . I understand opinion can be divided. It is up to me to get those guys on side. I am hoping they will not forgive me, but i hope they can come round and say mcleish is right, he is the right man for thejob. Mcleish is right, he is the right man for the job. Paris, James Mcfadden and that famous 1 0 win over france. He took charge of scotla nd over france. He took charge of scotland and quit in 2007, winning seven games from ten. Before it was motherwell, hibs and rangers where he won seven trophies in five years. He quit scotland for Birmingham City. Between then and 2016, it was a chequered career. He had spells at aston villa, nottingham forest, ghent and aston villa, nottingham forest, ghentand a aston villa, nottingham forest, ghent and a team in egypt. Is the cv good enough . I think he is the right man for thejob. Good enough . I think he is the right man for the job. He is in there but who else are they going to get the job . He left under a bit of a cloud and he went to birmingham but everyone makes mistakes. Can you talk us through the process . Today, the president of the sfa was not for answering questions. Everyone has two pulled together. Alex mcleish is the manager so we all need to get behind him regardless of what you think. Said the scottish fa finally have their man. Much has been made of this appointment and the process out there, but ultimately, it will be judged by what happens in here. Are all the fans completely behind this .

Still to come on the programme stepping out of his fathers shadow, chris eubankjr has a world title fight tomorrow night when he takes on George Groves in manchester. And age is nothing but a number Roger Federer can become the oldest world number one tonight. The Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has spoken today about the Barry Bennell trial and expressed his sympathy for the victims of the former youth coachs sexual abuse. Bennell, who was associated with some clubs in the north west, including city, has been convicted of 43 counts of child sex abuse between 1979 and 1990 and will be sentenced at Liverpool Crown court on monday. Heres our sports mews correspondent richard conway. No child should suffer the way we did. For the survivors of Barry Bennells reign of abuse, the pain and memory of their ordeals will never fade. They are left instead to reflect on how one of britains most prolific paedophiles was allowed to get away with his crimes for so long. He got away with it because he was so good at what he did in terms of football. His ability and skills. He groomed the parents. A perfect storm, almost. Until we grew into men and stood up to him and put him where he should be now. Speaking today, some of those subjected to Barry Bennells abuse said they will now pursue civil claims against the clubs clubs connected to the case Crewe Alexandra and Manchester City. He ruined my life. If there is any compensation or damages, of course i am going to take it. I do want an apology to start off with. From bennell . From the clubs he was involved with. Yes, he has ruined my life. Should i get something for it . I think i should. The abuse stems from a different era but today the clubs manager said something. When you see this, it could happen with my son and my daughters and it is terrible, a terrible situation. Manchester citys investigation is continuing but they are not alone, with enquiries also underway at other clu bs enquiries also underway at other clubs connected to bennell. Dario, will you stop and answer questions for the bbc . Do you have a message for the victims . Dario gradi, crewes former manager and the man who brought bennell to the club has said previously he knew nothing about the abuse and has maintained a silence on the issue this week. But one former director said he warned senior officials about bennells relationship with young boys in the late 1980s, but the coach was allowed to stay in hisjob. There was so much banter around the dressing rooms and around the Football Club about it. You know, odd remarks getting made here and there. If you did not know about it, god knows where you were. You werent at crewe. Barry bennell will be sentenced on monday and is facing the prospect of facing the rest of his life in prison. The football associations probe into who knew what and when in the organisation goes on as well. The scrutiny will continue. Theres an all british world title fight in manchester tomorrow night as wba super middleweight champion George Groves takes on chris eubankjunior. 0ur boxing correspondent Mike Costello is with me. Good evening. You are in town for this fight, a lot of people who were after those tickets sold out in minutes, a massive appetite for this fight . Yes, and it is a fight with a compelling narrative that links two thriving boxing eras. Almost two decades ago it was chris eubank senior involved in fight against nigel benn who attracted Television Audiences of up to 16 million people. Now it is smaller audiences but just as people. Now it is smaller audiences butjust as much hype and for the boxers, just as much money. Here you have two men, very different personalities outside the ring and different styles inside the ring. Last time out, each of them scored a stunning knockout victory. In any era genuinely, this fight would have stood out. It shows that boxing is still healthy. Who is the money on . The bookmakers favourite is chris eubankjunior with the feeling that he will be younger and fresher. Those who favour groves say he will be too big and powerful. For each of them this is a defining fight and a defining night. If you think about muhammad ali, you think about frasier and foreman, and also if you think that chris eubank you think about ben and watson. They are fighting for the belts, notjust for the belts but they are fighting for the belts but they are fighting for the Mohamed Eileen trophy because this is the boxing super series as well, this is a semifinal to get into a final. This contest has taken off they are fighting for the mohamed ali trophy. Many people were sceptical about this and thought it would not take off but it has. The quarter finals would not take off but it has. The quarterfinals were would not take off but it has. The quarter finals were held would not take off but it has. The quarterfinals were held in september. Both won impressively. There is every chance that the final in the Super Middleweight Division could be an all british affair also because groves and eubankjunior meet tomorrow. Next week in germany callu m meet tomorrow. Next week in germany callum smith faces a germanjurgen braemer. He is favourite for that. It could be an all british final at the 02 in june. If you have the top eight fighters in that division, you know you will get some good fights coming up . The point you make is that fights are too difficult to make and too often in boxing is the complaint from fans is that the best do not meet the best. This is a tournament where you are compelled tournament where you are compelled to face whatever the drawer says you have to do, and that is why it has been so successful. Because this super middleweight tournament and the cruiserweight tournament have been so successful, there is every chance there will be more tournaments like it in the future. Because the fighters have been so well paid and it has been so well received, other boxers will be more than keen to sign up. Mike costello, thank you. Enjoy the fight tomorrow night. Lets have a quick look at some of the days other headlines. England can still reach the twenty20 tri series final, thats after australia recorded a record run chase to beat new zealand by five wickets in auckland. They reached their target of 244 with seven balls to spare. England must beat the kiwis on sunday to have any chance of playing australia in the final. West bromwich albion have opened up an investigation after four of the clubs players were interviewed by police after allegedly stealing a taxi from outside a Fast Food Restaurant in barcelona yesterday. The players have released a statement apologising for the incident. Roger federer is on court right now at the rotterdam 0pen. Victory against the netherlands robin haase in their quarterfinal would see the swiss return to the top of the rankings for the first time in over five years and become the oldest world number 0ne. Lets speak to the telegraph tennis correspondent, simon briggs. Good evening to you. You would like to say there is life in the old dog yet, but at 36 he is looking as brightly as ever, Roger Federer, just rolling back the years from every major tournament he plays in . I dont think Andre Agassis record as the oldest number one in atp history has very long to stand. Perhaps only a few minutes. And the quy perhaps only a few minutes. And the guy, he keeps on defying a leaf, but the biggest thing for me is the way that he has kept his desire. So many great tennis players over the years. He lost the will to win. He had to ta ke he lost the will to win. He had to take long breaks away from the game. Hejust wants take long breaks away from the game. He just wants to play because he loves the sport. That is the most unique thing about him. You might think all tennis players love the game but no one loves it quite like federer. It is amazing to think he first became number 114 years ago. If you look at tennis, it comes down to four basic elements, it is tactical, physical, mental and skill. 0ther tactical, physical, mental and skill. Other players have been better than him at certain points but he kept on trying to improve himself. Now we find he is outlasting these guys who are a little bit younger than him. He is mentally and physically fresher than djokovic and he is still changing his game so he is bringing this souped up backhand which has allowed him to reverse the current in his long running rivalry with nadal. This ability to keep on developing, even as he approaches, he is not far off the big 40, is he . He keeps on adding new ingredients. Nothing wrong with the big 40, i will say that he is managing his schedule very carefully. He will probably sit out the clay court season, do we think . The point there is partly physical. He said it is the one thing that sets his knee on edge, the one that he damaged the car to live cartilage for after running a bath for his two daughters. That was an unusual event for a man who never seems to deal in the normal. It is probably the one case where he feels nadal will have a demonstrate a advantage over him. He has won the last four matches against him, he does not want to change that sequence. That has added an interesting coda in what has previously been a dominant head to head rivalry. Previously been a dominant headtohead rivalry. Thank you. It is going with served in rotterdam. Eeds rhinos were thrashed by melbourne storm in rugby leagues world club challenge. Even though they took the lead with an early try those were the only points for the rhinos in melbourne as they conceded seven tries in their 38 4 defeat. Tanya arnold reports. Evening time in melbourne, time for breakfast back home. The leeds fans settled in to watch their team take on the best club side in australia, and it started perfectly. Sadly, thatis and it started perfectly. Sadly, that is where the cheering ended. Melbourne started to show their clinical side. A tryjust before half time was crushing. They went in 184 half time was crushing. They went in 18 4 up. Half time was crushing. They went in 184 up. Leeds were making a lot of m ista kes 184 up. Leeds were making a lot of mistakes and melbourne catnap restore my picking up on the mistakes. Not much in it for the two sides but discipline. They will hopefully get back in it. Melbourne kept on notjenna tries. The scoreboard made it look a very one sided game but that is a little harsh on leeds. They are a very good side. They completely dominated the nrl last year.
