What to expect on the first full day of Olympic competition
Saturday marks the first full day of competition in the Winter Olympics, after Friday's opening ceremony -- though technically, competition had already been underway. A host of sports including ice hockey and luge had already started ahead of the curtain raiser. What competitions are happening today:
Alpine skiing
Biathlon (mixed relay)
Cross country skiing (women's 7.5km + 7.5km skiathlon)
Curling
Freestyle skiing (men's moguls)
Ice hockey
Luge
Short track speed skating (mixed team relay)
Ski jumping (women's normal hill individual)
Snowboard
Speed skating (women's 3,000m)
Which athletes to watch:
Canada's Mikael Kingsbury is the defending champion of freestyle skiing, and heads into the final as the outright favorite on Saturday. He is expected to be challenged by Sweden's Walter Wallberg and France's Benjamin Cavet.
China's Wu Dajing, short track skater, has been the country's poster boy for Beijing 2022 -- but it is his teammate Ren Ziwei who has been this season's outstanding skater.
The Netherland's Suzanne Schulting is set to lead the way at the short skating event, and will look to achieve a rare clean sweep of the individual distances.
The Netherland's Irene Schouten is another superstar, and could become the second female skater in history to win four gold medals at a single Games. Fellow Dutch skaters Ireen Wust and Sven Kramer will also be chasing records.
Canada's Kim Boutin will be one of the favorites for gold in the 500m short track skating event, for which she holds the world record.
USA's Jamie Anderson is the undisputed queen of slopestyle at the Winter Olympics -- but she faces stiff competition at the qualification heats on Saturday from New Zealand's Zoi Sadowski, who beat Anderson at the 2022 X Games twice.
