Christopher Lillis suffers the same fate as his fellow American Justin Schoenefeld. He over-rotated on the landing and receives a lowly 103 from the judges. Pirmin Werner then goes into third with a score of 111.50.

That leaves just Maxim Burov, who top-scored in the previous round, with the chance to beat Qi Guangpu!

Those two first jumps showed the pressure of this final. Next, it’s double world champion China’s Qi Guangpu. His effort is much better though, soaring high into the air and sticking the landing. It’s a score of 129 and that will be difficult to beat.

All the pressure is on just one jump now in the men’s aerials final as the scores from the previous round are wiped.

It’s Justin Schoenefeld to go first but a poor landing leaves him with a score of 106.50, which won’t be enough.

Next, it’s the defending champion, Oleksandr Abramenko of Ukraine, who attempts the same jump. It’s better but his hand grazed the floor on his landing and he scores 116.50.

The world champion, Netherlands’ Suzanne Schulting, wins the final heat in the women’s 1500m speed skating. Schulting has already claimed two golds, in the 1000m and the 3000m relay, this Games.

The second round comes to an end and we have our six jumpers who advance to the main final. Jia Zongyang, the 2018 silver medallist, had been formidable in qualifying but crashed on his final jump.

1. Ilia Burov (ROC) 129.50
2. Pirmin Werner (SUI) 126.24
3. Christopher Lillis (USA) 125.67
4. Qi Guangpu (CHN) 125.22
5. Oleksandr Abramenko (UKR) 123.53
6. Justin Schoenefelt (USA) 123.53

Ilia Burov, the brother of two-time world champion Maxim, has taken the lead in the aerials.

Ilia, the elder of the two brothers by seven years, leads on 129.50. Switzerland’s Pirmin Werner, who led after the first round, can’t top that and sits in second place three points back.

The top six jumpers after this round will advance to the main final.

Kim A-lang, who is also from South Korea, won the second heat.

There’s still confusion over the extra lap that was raced in the first heat, though, with an official confirmation of the result still yet to be determined.

There was a lot of hype around Team GB potentially securing a record haul of medals at this Games. That certainly won’t be the case and now there is a degree of doubt as to whether they will pick up one at all.

Dame Katherine Jane Grainger, the chair of UK Sport, insists the funding that’s gone into winter sports is a long-term investment, though.

But there’s drama and a delay over the announcement of the official verdict of the quarter-final after it appears the skaters were mistakenly allowed to complete one extra lap. The referee is speaking to the teams’ coaches now.

Attentions now turn to the short track speed skating evening session.

There will be six heats to determine who advances to the semi-finals in the women’s 1500m.

There’s a big cheer as China take a brief lead but then South Korea’s defending Olympic champion Choi Min-jeong bursts clear to win by a wide margin.
