Bobsleigh: Women’s monobob heats three and four (18:00)

The first bobsleigh medal is up for grabs at the Cortina Sliding Centre.

Kaillie Humphries won the inaugural monobob title at the 2022 Games, claiming her third Olympic gold – and first since switching allegiance from Canada to the USA.

A fourth gold medal here would equal the record in Olympic bobsleigh.

Freestyle skiing: Women’s big air final (18:30-19:50)

Kirsty Muir was the youngest member of Team GB in 2022, coming a brilliant fifth in the final, and the 21-year-old Scot will be hoping to be in the mix again.

But it looks like being a high-class field that will include defending champion Eileen Gu, 2026 slopestyle gold medallist Mathilde Gremaud and Canada’s Megan Oldham.

And all Italian eyes will be on Flora Tabanelli, who won the 2025 world title aged just 17 – the skier from Bologna is the reigning Youth Olympic champion in big air, and now has her eyes on the senior title.

Snowboard: Women’s slopestyle final (12:00-13:35)

British teenager Mia Brookes has already won the world title and is now aiming to become an Olympic champion on snow, something no Briton had achieved prior to these Games.

The 19-year-old will be putting her tricks up against some talented rivals, set to include the Japanese contingent and reigning Olympic and world champion Zoi Sadowski-Synnott of New Zealand.

The riders have three runs to impress the judges, with their best score counting.

Bobsleigh: Two-man heats three and four (18:00)

Can anyone stop the Germans and in particular pilot Francesco Friedrich, who is vying for a record fifth bobsleigh gold?

The 35-year-old led a German 1-2-3 in this event in 2022 but this season Friedrich’s long-time rival Johannes Lochner has had a decisive edge on the World Cup circuit.

The British sled, featuring Brad Hall and Taylor Lawrence, will be among those seeking to end Germany’s stranglehold.

Freestyle skiing: Men’s big air final (18:30-19:50)

New Zealand’s Luca Harrington will be aiming to add the Olympic title to the world title and World Cup title he won last season.

But defending champion Birk Ruud of Norway is unlikely to give up his crown without a fight, while the home crowd will be behind Miro Tabanelli, a 21-year-old Italian who claimed X Games gold in 2025.

Ski mountaineering: Women’s and men’s sprint finals (12:55 and 13:15)

Bormio is synonymous with downhill skiing but some athletes will also be attempting to go uphill in the only new sport at these Winter Olympics – ski mountaineering, or skimo for short.

Skiers race up and down a steep course on skis, ‘skins’ (strips of fabric attached to the bottom of skis) and on foot, putting on or taking off their equipment in transition areas between sections.

Two of the three golds on offer will be decided today in the sprint races, which consist of several knockout contests.

France’s Emily Harrop, whose parents are British but who was born and bred in the French Alps, is the women’s favourite (heats start at 08:50), with the men’s heats at 09:30.

Figure skating: Women’s free skate (18:00-22:10)

The women’s figure skating is always one of the highlights of any Winter Olympics, but in 2022 it was one of the most upsetting events. It concluded with 15-year-old Kamila Valieva leaving the ice distressed after an error-strewn performance that followed her positive drugs test.

The contest for gold in Milan-Cortina promises to be an intriguing battle – reigning world champion Alysa Liu and revitalised team-mate Amber Glenn are aiming to become the first USA winner of this title for 24 years, while Japan’s three-time former world champion Kaori Sakamoto is hoping for a first Olympic gold in her farewell season.

But could the latest young Russian talent Adeliia Petrosian – who will be competing as a neutral athlete – emerge as a contender?

Ice hockey: Women’s gold medal game (18:10)

Thursday’s final will almost certainly be the latest chapter in the increasingly bitter rivalry between the two dominant teams in women’s hockey, Canada and the USA.

The pair have contested six of the seven gold medal matches at the Olympic and met in 23 of 24 finals at World Championship level.

The Canadians usually have the edge when it matters most and claimed their fifth Olympic crown in 2022.

Freestyle skiing: Women’s halfpipe run one and two (18:30-20:25)

Zoe Atkin, one of Britain’s biggest medal hopes at these Games, begins her quest to emulate big sister Izzy and win an Olympic medal.

The 23-year-old Stanford University student is the reigning world champion and also the joint-winner of the overall World Cup title last season.

However, she will face a strong field, including China’s defending champion Eileen Gu and Li Fanghui, who was the other major force in the 2024-25 campaign.

Freestyle skiing: Women’s ski cross (09:00-12:35)

The exciting sport of ski cross involves plenty of drama and the last Olympics was no exception, as Switzerland’s Fanny Smith well knows.

She was demoted from bronze in the aftermath of her race, only for the decision to eventually be overturned – she received her medal more than a year later.

Now the reigning world champion, Smith again faces Sweden’s Sandra Naeslund and Canada’s Marielle Thompson, the gold and silver medallists from Beijing.

Ice hockey: Men’s semi-finals (15:40 & 20:10)

The Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena is host to a semi-final double header, with the two winners advancing to Sunday’s final and the losers playing off for bronze.

Canada are nine-time Olympic champions, while the USA last took the title in 1980.

Freestyle skiing: Men’s halfpipe final (18:30-20:05)

Expect a thrilling contest for gold. With New Zealand’s 2022 gold medallist Nico Porteous announcing last summer that he was stepping away from the sport, there is a gap to be filled – and the title could stay in Kiwi hands as 19-year-old Finley Melville Ives is the current world champion.

Alex Ferreira won silver in 2018 and bronze in 2022, and fellow American Nick Goepper has his sights set on winning a medal at a fourth consecutive Games, having made the slopestyle podium in 2014, 2018 and 2022.

Curling: Women’s gold medal game (10:05-13:20)

This event proved the highlight – and saving grace – of Britain’s Winter Olympics four years ago, when Eve Muirhead and her team clinched GB’s only gold of the Games on the final day in Beijing.

With only one member of that gold-winning quintet competing in Milan-Cortina, a repeat might be unlikely.

Ice hockey: Men’s gold medal game (13:10)

Each of the last three men’s ice hockey finals has produced a different winner – so could a new name be added to the roll of honour at the Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena?

Canada have claimed a record nine Olympic golds and the return of NHL players is a boost to their chances.

That also applies to the USA, who haven’t won the title since 1980’s ‘Miracle on Ice’, while Finland are the reigning champions.
