Milano Cortina 2026 officially gets underway on Saturday with Team GB competing in four sports on Day 1, including a first sight of Kirsty Muir.
Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds have already got off to a flying start in the mixed doubles curling and they will join Muir in getting the day’s action going in Italy.
Muir comes into her second Games in sensational form, having won a recent X Games gold, while she has also picked up a hat-trick of World Cup golds since making her return from a serious knee injury.
In addition to Muir’s slopestyle qualification, Mouat and Dodds take on a pair of North American opponents, while Anna Pryce takes on the gruelling challenge of the skiathlon in cross-country skiing and Edward Appleby will be the final member of the figure skating team to take to the ice.
Curling
Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds continue their mixed doubles campaign with their sixth and seventh matches of the round robin stage.
The pair are in a commanding position following a strong start that included victories over Sweden and Korea on Friday.
They face Canada at 10:05 before taking on the USA at 14:35.
Freestyle Skiing
Kirsty Muir begins her second Olympic campaign with women’s slopestyle qualification from 10:30.
Muir won X Games gold in the event last month and finish eighth in Beijing four years ago.
The slopestyle final will take place from 12:30 on Monday 9 February.
Cross-Country
Anna Pryce flies the flag for Team GB in the women’s 10km + 10km skiathlon, which gets underway at 13:00 in Tereso.
Pryce became the first British woman to compete in the Cross-Country World Cup since 2019 this season.
Figure Skating
Edward Appleby rounds off Team GB’s qualification efforts in the figure skating team event.
Team GB currently sit in eighth place after Friday’s action, which saw Lilah Fear, Lewis Gibson, Anastasia Vaipan-Law, Luke Digby, and Kristen Spours all take to the ice.
Team GB need a top five finish to progress to the final and if successful, Fear and Gibson will compete in the free dance from 22:05 on Saturday evening.
