Winter Olympics Day 5 highlights

Curling

Men’s teams from midnight on BBC1, women’s teams from 5.30am on BBC1

“This year our women’s curling team will be on the podium,” predicts former British curling skip Jackie Lockhart. The team, led by Eve Muirhead (top) won bronze in 2014. Their opening match is against the “Olympic Athletes from Russia”.

But it’s not just the women to watch out for: 22-year-old Kyle Smith leads a highly rated young British men’s team. Kyle’s younger brother Cammy is alongside him, as is Thomas Muirhead, brother of female skip Eve. Their second match today is against world champions Canada. It’s a real family affair on the rink — will those bonds bring gold?

Snowboarding: men’s halfpipe final

1.30am BBC1, 2.15am Eurosport 1

BBC expert Jenny Jones says: The 22ft-high halfpipe may look intimidating, but these athletes have dropped into it hundreds if not thousands of times. Train hard, fight easy, as they say. Riders have to be so accurate with their take-offs and make sure they come back down right at the top of the pipe in order to carry the momentum into the next jump.

American halfpipe legend Shaun White has been a bit off the radar by his standards recently, but returned in January with a perfect 100 score during an Olympic qualifier in Colorado. Australian Scotty James looks set to be his closest rival.

Nordic combined

4am Eurosport 1, 6am BBC red button

Nordic combined features a ski jumping competition followed by a cross country race, with points from the jump converted into a time bonus for the race. Part of the Games since the first one in 1924, it’s the only Olympic event where women still cannot compete.
