Freestyle skiing: Women’s ski cross (09:00-12:35)
The exciting sport of ski cross involves plenty of drama and the last Olympics was no exception, as Switzerland’s Fanny Smith well knows.
She was demoted from bronze in the aftermath of her race, only for the decision to eventually be overturned – she received her medal more than a year later.
Now the reigning world champion, Smith again faces Sweden’s Sandra Naeslund and Canada’s Marielle Thompson, the gold and silver medallists from Beijing.
Ice hockey: Men’s semi-finals (Canada v Finland at 15:40, USA v Slovakia at 20:10)
The Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena is host to a semi-final double header, with the two winners advancing to Sunday’s final and the losers playing off for bronze.
Canada are nine-time Olympic champions, while the USA last took the title in 1980.
Freestyle skiing: Men’s halfpipe final (18:30-20:05)
Expect a thrilling contest for gold. With New Zealand’s 2022 gold medallist Nico Porteous announcing last summer that he was stepping away from the sport, there is a gap to be filled – and the title could stay in Kiwi hands as 19-year-old Finley Melville Ives is the current world champion.
Alex Ferreira won silver in 2018 and bronze in 2022, and fellow American Nick Goepper has his sights set on winning a medal at a fourth consecutive Games, having made the slopestyle podium in 2014, 2018 and 2022.
