Thanks for following our coverage of the ladies slopestyle final. -
Live coverage of the womens slopestyle final coming up. The event includes Canadian Spencer O'Brien. Stay tuned for up-to-the-minute updates!
-
This guy is landing everything... -
Whoa. I don't even know how to call that, but it was a triple triple something -
Lets just say I gasped. It was pretty impressive
-
-
Small error as he mis-fired on the triple sauchow
-
Evgeny is jacked. He's skating with so much passion.
-
-
The little skaters who pick up teddy bears and flowers definitely have their hands full
-
They almost need a shovel
-
Evgeny just gave the double thumbs up to the crowd
-
Great moment for Team Canada and for #KevinReynolds @skatecanada @cdnolympicteam @CBCOlympics http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BgCupqTCQAAIRL3.jpg

And the Russians are in 1st. Evgeny moves into first with a score of 168.20
-
Didn't notice before, but he has some bling on around his neck
-
-
Next up, we've got Tatsuki Machida from Japan
-
If anyone has seen Hunger Games, Machida's outfit sort of looks like the Tributes from 12 and their outfits on fire.
-
Hometown crowd goes wild for Evgeny Plyushchenko #cbcolympics http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BgCwTADIMAABHju.jpg

Machida just landed a great jump
-
Wow, small intense stare down at the judges table.
-
Machida is almost gaining momentum as the skate goes on
-
Ferocious look at the end
-
He's completed his skate. This might put Japan into 3rd place if Machida can score 10 points
-
The two are fighting for that 3rd place spot at the moment
-
That's it for the Men's Free Skate! Stand by though as we wait for Machida's scores to come in!
-
The ladies free skate will be up next!
-
Machida waits with anticipation -
Machida scores 165.85, so Machida is now in 3rd
-
Canada's Kevin Reynolds is in 2nd
-
Russia's Evgeny Plushchenko is in 1st place
-
This moves Canada 9 points up on the USA as a team.
-
How's everyone doing out there!?!
-
We take a short break, but will be back just after 11am Eastern for the Women's Free Skate
-
Reynolds: very happy with his first Olympic performance. #WeAreWinter http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BgCylR4IQAAgWTS.jpg

Evgeni Plushenko takes top marks and 10 points for Russia in the men's free. Reynolds not far behind, Canada gets 9. -
Russia now leads Canada 57 to 50 with two events remaining. It would take a Russian disaster at this point to pull ahead, unfortunately, but Canada looking strong for a medal. The Canada/U.S. rivalry in ice dance most intriguing tonight. That's still to come.
-
Canada's Kaetlyn Osmond (just 18 years old) will open the ladies free skate in just a few minutes! -
