   Meanwhile Alex Gufler of Italy drops below Anton Dukach of Ukraine by a margin of three thousandths of a second.

   Luge – men’s singles

   Away we go in the final run of luge’s men’s singles.

   World champion Max Langenham of Germany leads the way, but one mistake could let in his rivals.

   Here’s how things stand.

   1: Max Langenhan (Ger) – 2:38.531

   2: Jonas Mueller (Aut) – 2:38.825

   3: Dominik Fischnaller (Ita) – 2:39.073

   4: Kristers Aparjods (Lat) – 2:39.542

   5: Nico Gleirscher (Aut) – 2:39.738

   Jozef Ninis of Slovakia, who was 20th of the 20 athletes to progress to the final run, heads out onto the track first and finishes with a time of 53.693.

   That’s his best run, and he ends his competition with an accumulated time of 3:35.600.

   There has been a change in the air temperature and it has dropped 5C. That could affect the sliders. It is still all to play for in this final run.

   It is exciting because any mistake has a huge consequence in the luge. Those at the top of the pack are slick and have learnt the track quickly. These are real professionals at the top of their game.

   The sliding track is the place to be this evening in Cortina.

   All lit up set above the town, you can hear the announcer from all the way down there.

   This corner of the track is nicknamed ‘coaches corner’ because it’s such a good vantage point for watching the sliders come round that they seem to all gather here.

   It’s not a bad view.
