"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."
Day four features the downhill portion of the women's team combined, with the slalom section scheduled later. The men's freeski slopestyle final includes USA's Alex Hall, who aims to retain his title and whose mother is from nearby Bologna. Medals will be awarded in the short track mixed team relay, multiple cross-country events, and biathlon. Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds contest the mixed doubles curling bronze against Italy, with the USA facing Sweden in the final. Evening events include the final women's luge run, mixed team normal hill ski jumping, and a likely dress rehearsal when Canada meet USA in women's ice hockey.
