    There's the training for the Alpine Skiing as well. But yeah for some reason I thought the ice hockey started tomorrow as well but looks like it's Thursday.

    Curling is my favorite event to watch honestly. There's so much strategy and every throw of the stone has so much riding on it. The drama.

Winter Olympics 2026 on TV and BBC iPlayer - How to watch...

Don't miss a minute of Milan-Cortina 2026 across TV, BBC iPlayer, Radio, BBC Sounds, the BBC Sport website and app

Excellent will have to watch some of this - great setting - Cortina and the Italian Dolomites/Alps look lovely both in winter and the rest of the year!

GB are targeting between 4 and 8 medals apparently. I always feel it's a bit unfair to set targets with that number because youre basically pinpointing individuals and saying that you expect them to win a medal, which with things like Olympic sports can never be guaranteed.

Looking forward to this starting tomorrow - will probably watch some of the skiing, snowboarding, ice hockey and track events. Will avoid the Curling - never got the appeal.

You might have to enjoy the Curling for a bit as that's the only thing that gets going tomorrow!

BBC2 will have both Curling matches, the Men's Downhill at 10.30am and Men's Big Air at 6.30pm - just flashed up on screen in the Ceremony Build up. They'll either have to leave the Curling or delay showing the Downhill to achieve that

I checked to see if discovery+ did the same thing as last Olympics where they had everything for a month's sub of £3.99 and got that, I'll surely spend a bit of time looking at obscure winter sports over the next week x

opening ceremony yay

Hazel Irvine will be accompanied by John Hunt for the opening ceremony for the BBC, for what will be an emotional occasion for him, given the tragic and well-documented reason why he missed the Paris Olympics two years ago.

Order of countries coming in

Greece is always first from tradition since they are the Original Host,

Then it's By Country in alphabetical Order based on the Hosts Language, so alphabetical based on Italian spelling,

Then the next couple Hosts of the Olympics(I believe this is France and USA) at the end

Then the Host Country will be

These opening ceremonies take far too long and are boring to boot. I don't even watch them any more. More interested in the sporting action than the pageantry.
