The Olympic Winter Games are nearly upon us with the opening ceremony in Milano Cortina 2026 taking place on Friday.
The sport itself begins even sooner, with preliminary curling, ice hockey and snowboarding events kicking off on Wednesday.
That means that the mixed doubles curling pair of Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat will be the first Team GB athletes in action when they aim for a podium four years after narrowly missing out in the event in Beijing.
For those looking to follow all the action, TNT Sport and Discovery+ will be the place to go as the rights holder for the Games in the UK.
TNT Sport is set to show 850 hours of action from every sport, venue and medal event.
The coverage will begin at 8am on TNT Sports 2, with live competition running from 9am to 10pm.
The ULTIMATE Olympic viewing experience 🤩
