Medal events
Alpine Skiing: Women’s giant slalom | 1.30pm (UK)
The women’s giant slalom in the Alpine Skiing takes place on Sunday with Julia Schieb expected to come out on top but it isn’t a foregone conclusion as Federica Brignone hunts her down.

Biathlon: Men’s pursuit | 10.45am (UK)
France won the mixed biathlon event before Norway took gold in the men’s individual. French star Quentin Fillon-Maillet, who won gold in the men’s sprint, is again a leading contender alongside Norway’s Sturla Holm Laegreid.
Prediction: Quentin Fillon-Maillet (FRA) to win

Freestyle Skiing: Men’s dual moguls | 9.30am – 10.48am (UK)
Beginning with a round of 32 and whittling its way down, the next medal event in the Freestyle Skiing comes in the men’s dual moguls and Canada’s Michael Kingsbury is seeking to win his second Olympic gold after winning the moguls at Pyeongchang in 2018.
Prediction: Michael Kingsbury (CAN) to win
Skeleton: Mixed team | 5pm (UK)
With three women in the top ten after two final runs and a track record set by Matt Weston on his way to winning the men’s gold, Great Britain are in an excellent position do double their gold medal tally.

Ski Jumping: Women’s large hill individual | 6.57pm (UK)
The women’s large hill individual is one of the final medal events on Sunday at the Winter Olympics as a vast field bids to basically finish runner up behind Slovenia’s Nika Prevc, who helped the Slovenians win gold in the mixed team event earlier on in the games.
Prediction: Nika Prevc (SVN) to win
Snowboarding: Mixed team | 1.40pm

Prediction: CAN to win
Speed Skating: Men’s 1000m | 4.03pm (UK)
Speed Skating is a sport, especially on the women’s side, that tends to be dominated by the Dutch and Jutta Leerdam, who won gold the other day is among the favourites but the likeliest winner of the women’s 500m is Femke Kok.
Prediction: Femke Kok (NED) to win
