What’s on today (22 February) at the Winter Olympics?

It has been a simply brilliant couple of weeks in Milan-Cortina but we are coming to the end with just four more medal events to be decided before the Closing Ceremony takes place in Verona.

Medal events

Bobsleigh: Four-man | 11.15am (UK)

Having dominated the sport throughout these games, as well as the last couple of years, Germany have put themselves in an excellent position, having been one and two after the opening run.

Prediction: GER to win

Cross-Country Skiing: Women’s 50km mass start | 9am (UK)

The final snow event of the Winter Olympics comes in the women’s 50km mass start in the Cross-Country Skiing with Sweden’s Frida Karlsson the favourite for gold.

Prediction: Frida Karlsson (SWE) to win

Curling: Women’s | 10.05am (UK)

Following on from the men’s final on Saturday, the women’s gold medal match in the Curling takes place on Sunday morning between Switzerland and Sweden, with the Swedes expected to back up their impressive performance in the mixed doubles by adding a Curling gold to their medal tally.

Prediction: SWE to win

Ice Hockey: Men’s | 1.10pm (UK)

Perhaps the anticipated one off event of the games always tends to be the men’s Ice Hockey final and, predictably, it is a renewal of the rivalry between Canada and Team USA with the former, boasting stars such as Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid, expected to come out on top.

Prediction: CAN to win
