Key events
Preamble
Buongiorno a tutti e benvenuti alle Olimpiadi invernali 2026 – quarto giorno!
And it’s another dead busy day in Milan Cortina. We begin our coverage with the downhill aspect of the women’s team combined, a new event that those who enjoyed it yesterday know is a terrific addition; the slalom section comes later in the day.
In the meantime, we’ve got the men’s slopestyle final in the freeski, USA’s Alex Hall hoping to retain his title; his mum is from nearby Bologna, so he’ll have family watching, presumably a far scarier proposition than twizzling upside down a million miles in the air.
We’ve also got medals being handed out in short track mixed team relay and in a load of cross-country events, biathlon too, after which Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds compete for bronze in the mixed doubles curling, the only event in which Great Britain have yet to win a medal; they face Italy, who won gold four years ago, with USA v Sweden to follow in the final.
Then, this evening, we’ve the final run of the women’s luge, the mixed team normal hill ski jumping, a probable dress rehearsal for the women’s ice hockey final when Canada take on USA – and a whole lot more.
Esattamente! Andiamo!
