    Alpine skiing: Women’s downhill (10:30-12:50)

    This race marks the return of legendary American skier Lindsey Vonn, six years after her retirement from the sport.

    Downhill is the 41-year-old’s speciality and she’s won a record 45 World Cup races in this event, plus her only Olympic gold medal in 2010.

    We will have to see how much of an affect crashing in the final World Cup downhill before the Winter Olympics hinders Vonn’s bid.

    Keep an eye out for her superbly-named compatriot Breezy Johnson, who is the 2025 world champion.

    The host nation will be hopeful of at least one podium place, although World Cup champion Federica Brignone only returned to action in January, nine months after breaking multiple bones in her left leg and tearing her ACL during a giant slalom crash at the Italian Championships.

    Bergamo native Sofia Goggia took downhill silver four years ago despite suffering a knee injury just 23 days before the event.

    Cross country skiing: Men’s skiathlon (11:30-12:50)

    It’s a fifth Winter Olympics for Britain’s Andrew Musgrave, whose best Olympic result is seventh in the skiathlon in 2018.

    In this event, competitors complete 10km using the classical technique before changing skis and doing 10km using the freestyle technique.

    Johannes Hosflot Klaebo is the world champion and this could be the first of a bobble-hatful of golds for the Norwegian at these Games.

    Snowboard: Women’s big air qualification (18:30-20:45)

    Britain’s Mia Brookes has every chance of becoming Britain’s youngest Winter Olympic medallist for 78 years.

    The rider from Cheshire has just turned 19 but has already won back-to-back big air World Cup titles and comes to Italy fresh from winning medals in the X Games.

    But she will face a stacked field, including Japan’s Kokomo Murase, Reira Iwabuchi and Mari Fukada, who formed a clean sweep of the medals at last year’s World Championships.

    Austria’s Anna Gasser is aiming to win the event for the third Games in a row at the age of 34.

    Maisie Hill, whose career was almost ended by a horrific training accident three years ago, will be Britain’s other representative.

    Figure skating: Team (20:55)

    The team figure skating competition concludes with the men’s free skate.

    The USA won gold after the Russian team was demoted in Beijing in a protracted saga that delayed the medal ceremony by over two years.

    The USA are the reigning World Team Trophy champions and won three of the four individual events at last year’s World Championships but Japan and Georgia will be pushing them hard.
