Look great, dance great.

Canadian figure skaters Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier compete in the ice dance rhythm dance event at the Capital Indoor Stadium – quite the eye-catching pair in sequinned orange unitards with natty feathered shoulder pads.

The reigning world bronze medalists placed sixth to qualify for the free dance later in the competition.

Day 8 of competition has wrapped at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and gold medals were awarded for six events today. Germany and Norway are tied at the top of the medal table with eight golds each, with the United States closely behind on five. These are the lucky winners of Saturday's competition.

Biathlon: Norway's Johannes Thingnes Bø took home the gold in the men's 10km sprint, with his brother, Tarjei, winning bronze.

Cross-Country Skiing: The Russian Olympic Committee won the women's 4x5km team relay in dramatic fashion.

Skeleton: Hannah Neise won the women's skeleton a year after winning the junior world championships to continue Germany's dominance in sliding sports.

Ski Jumping: Norway's Marius Lindvik edged out Japan's Ryoyu Kobayashi – who was going for the ski jumping double – in the men's individual large hill.

Snowboard: Despite being the oldest pair in the competition, Americans Lindsey Jacobellis and Nick Baumgartner won the mixed team snowboard cross, making Baumgartner the oldest ever Olympic snowboarding medalist.

Short Track Speed Skating: Gao Tingyu gave the home fans something to cheer for as he won gold in the men's 500m in an Olympic record time.

Skeleton may have found its next star.

Hannah Neise, just 21 years old, wins gold for Germany in her first ever Winter Olympics.

Big things have certainly been expected of Neise, who was crowned junior world champion last year and won silver at the Youth Olympic Games in 2016.

Neise was shocked after her victory, telling reporters, "I can't realize it now. I think it takes some time to realize it. I worked a lot on my mental health, and I think today, it worked very well.

"Yesterday, I wasn't nervous at all," she continued, "and today, I woke up at six in the morning and I felt very nervous. I was nervous the whole time, the whole day.

"The secret was the team and coaches behind my back. They all believed in me. I started to believe in myself and trust myself that I could a good job today."

There was also some Olympic history for Australia's Jaclyn Narracott in the silver medal position and the Netherlands' Kimberley Bos in bronze, as both became the first women from their respective countries to medal in skeleton.

There’s been a new world record in figure skating’s ice dance rhythm dance event and it belongs to Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron of France.

The four-time world champions got a standing ovation from onlookers as they scored 90.83 points for their routine, beating their own previous record of 90.03 points.

No medals are up for grabs at this stage with the top 20 couples qualifying for the free dance portion, but it’s an early statement of intent from Papadakis and Cizeron.

The couple are competing in their first full season together in almost two years having taken a break from competition.

From brushing ice in curling to flying down an ice track headfirst in skeleton, the Winter Olympics is home to some interesting sports. 

And with new sports comes new terms or nicknames for tactics, maneuvers or objects that beginner fans might not be familiar with. 

Even in ice hockey -- a sport that is extremely popular around the world -- there are terms used by commentators or pundits that you might not be accustomed to hearing. 

So below, we look at some of the key ones and explain what they mean so you'll be ready to impress your friends and follow the action in Beijing. 

Bar down: when the puck strikes the crossbar from a shot and ends up in the goal.

Biscuit: the puck.

Celly: a celebration after a goal.

Cherry picker: a player who stays in the middle of the ice rink while play is back near their defensive end, in case a breakaway attack becomes possible. 

Chirp: to trash talk the opposing team.

Deke: a skill where a player feints to draw an opposing player out of position or to skate by an opponent while maintaining possession and control of the puck.

Lid: a player's helmet.

Roof: to score a goal by shooting the puck in the upper part of the net.

Marius Lindvik clinched Norway's eighth gold medal of Beijing 2022 with victory in the men's ski jumping large hill.

The 23-year-old edged out Japan's Ryoyu Kobayashi – who was going for the ski jumping double after gold in the normal hill earlier this week – with a huge second jump to take his total score to 296.1.

Karl Geiger of Germany took the bronze.

"It was probably two of my best jumps," Lindvik said. "It's pretty sick that I managed to perform two good jumps when it counts."

Lindvik dedicated his medal to "everyone who supported me and helped me to be where I am today."

Norway is top of the medal table in Beijing, boasting 17 medals in total after the Bø brothers bagged an additional gold and bronze in the biathlon earlier on Saturday.

Japan's Miho Takagi leads her team off in perfect harmony in the women's speed skating team pursuit quarterfinals at the National Speed Skating Oval.

It did the trick, too, as Japan set a new Olympic record of 2:53.61 and qualified fastest for the semifinals ahead of Canada, the Netherlands and the Russian Olympic Committee.

US snowboarding great Shaun White called time on his Olympic career earlier in the Games as he finished fourth in the men’s halfpipe following a fall on the final run.

White, a three-time Olympic gold medalist and a man widely credited with revolutionizing the sport of snowboarding, has been speaking to CNN’s Coy Wire about the emotions of his retirement.

“It’s been this crazy ride and I’ve loved every bit of it,” he said. “Sad to hang up the competitive side of my life, but I’m so excited for the rest of it.”
