The Winter Olympics officially kicks off on Friday 4 February, with the glittering opening ceremony at the Beijing National Stadium at 8pm local time 12 noon in the UK and Ireland. The closing ceremony is also at 8pm local time, on Sunday 20 February.
The Beijing Paralympics then take place a month later, from 4 to 13 March. The fun — which is to say, the curling — actually starts on Wednesday 2 February, a day after China growls into the Year of the Tiger on 1 February. Tune in at There's more curling, ice hockey, freestyle skiing and figure skating to watch on Thursday 3 and Friday 4 February, all before the opening ceremony.
Sunday 20 February is one of the busiest days of the games. As well as the glittering closing ceremony stream live from 12 noon UK time and exhibition gala, it also includes gold medal finals in five of the most popular events, including ice hockey, figure skating and curling. Also reserve the sofa from early morning on Tuesday 8 February.
There'll be no fewer than ten medal events on that day, including speed skating, luge, freestyle skiing and snowboarding, which is a real treat to watch. Find the full sport-by-sport schedule, which is subject to change, at Olympics. Britain has never fared as well at winter sports, but if Team GB can win more than five medals at Beijing , it'll be its most successful Winter Olympics ever.
Team GB has won medals in the skeleton in all seven Winter Olympics since the event was introduced, so that'll be one to watch. However, double champ Lizzy Yarnold has now retired, leaving Amelia Coltman to compete for the women's skeleton crown on 12 February.
Scottish curling star Bruce Mouat is the first Team GB athlete to compete in two curling disciplines at the same Olympics: mixed doubles with his fellow world champion Jenn Dodds, and the men's team event, with World Championships silver medallists. Muir's best chance is in one of Beijing's new events, freeski big air, with qualifiers from 7 February. Snowboarder Katie Ormerod missed the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics after a horrific crash, and seven operations later she's back at the top of her sport and will be a strong contender.
Brad Hall and Greg Cackett are fresh from a silver win in the two-man bobsleigh at the World Cup and are looking great for a podium position. There'll be headlines, too, from veteran Olympians Lamin Deen and Greg Rutherford in the four-man bobsleigh. Deen, 40, who nearly retired after Pyeongchang, has spoken of the boost he received following the arrival of Rutherford, whose natural aptitude left him "gobsmacked". Rutherford has battled a shoulder injury, but we're keeping our fingers tightly crossed for him.
Not least because if the four-man bobsleigh team finishes in the final three, Rutherford will be the first British athlete to win medals at both the summer and winter games. Team GB's final Beijing squad will be confirmed closer to the start of the Olympics, and may be affected by Covid. Keep an eye on this page for updates. You can expect to see British television presenter and sports enthusiasts JJ Chalmers, Dan Walker, and gold medallist Sam Quek covering the games from midnight to breakfast each day.
