"There are eight gold medals up for grabs today, mostly on the slopes. They go for glory in the high-stakes men's Super G (giant slalom) and the men's Nordic combined (a 10km cross-country race and ski-jump), while Australia's Jakara Anthony defends her title in the women's Moguls (more ski-ing, this time racing down a steep course of jumps, turns and aerial trickery)."
"France's Lou Jeanmonnot guns for her second gold of the games in the women's biathalon (cross-country skiing and rifle shooting). Over on the rink, the mighty Dutch are favourites in the men's 1000m speed skating, while both sexes prepare to throw themselves down an icy shute in the luge double. Finally, flowing silks and rousing pianos accompany the free dance component of the ice dance finals. There, Britain's Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson will be hoping to inch up from fourth to bronze."
Day five in Milan and the Italian mountains features eight gold-medal events across skiing, biathlon, skating, luge and ice dance. Men's Super-G and men's Nordic combined headline alpine and Nordic competition. Jakara Anthony defends her women's moguls title. Lou Jeanmonnot targets a second women's biathlon gold. The Dutch are favourites in the men's 1000m speed skating. Doubles luge and the ice dance free programme are scheduled, with Britain's Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson aiming to move from fourth into bronze.
