Switzerland's Simon Ammann has won the first gold medal of the Vancouver Winter Olympics in the normal hill ski jumping.
Poland's Adam Malysz won the silver medal and Austria's Gregor Schlierenzauer won the bronze.
The Olympic men's luge competition will run from the women's start as an extra precaution after the death of Georgian slider Nodar Kumaritashvili in training at the Whistler Sliding Centre.
Organisers have since raised the walls at the exit of curve 16 where he died and changed the ice profile as preventative measures, despite concluding that there was no indication the accident was caused by any deficiency in the track.
