The 2026 Winter Olympics is upon us and thousands of athletes from all over the world have headed to northern Italy hoping for a taste of glory.
A total of 53 British athletes are taking part in this year’s Games and there are high hopes for the best return in Team GB history.
The current high water mark of five was secured at Sochi 2014 and equalled in Pyeongchang four years later. Funding body UK Sport said on Jan. 13 that an expected medal range of four to eight reflected Team GB’s athletes “being more competitive in more sports at a winter games than ever before.”
Here’s everything you need to know about who is competing and when during the 16-day extravaganza.
