Here’s our quick guide to help you pick your way through a packed programme of sport in PyeongChang.
Europe’s sports lovers are set to be warmed this month as the Winter Olympics slides onto their screens from South Korea.
The extravaganza — which officially runs from February 9 to February 25 — will likely reignite interest in skiing, curling and other marginal winter sports.
More than 2,900 athletes from 92 nations are set to compete in 102 different sporting events at PyeongChang 2018.
With so much packed into little more than two weeks, here is our guide to what to look out for in South Korea.
With South Korea eight hours ahead of Europe, ardent Olympics fans might have to wake earlier or stay-up late to catch the action.

Curling gets underway on February 8 at just after midnight Central European Time, as well as qualification events for ski jumping later in the day.
The ski jumpers that get eliminated at this stage face going home around 24 hours before the opening ceremony has even taken place.
All eyes will be on the ice hockey on the first official day of action: Saturday, February 10.
That is because the first unified Korean women’s team — featuring players from North Korea and South Korea — will take on Switzerland.

But relations have seemingly thawed in recent months after North Korea leader, Kim Jong Un, said he was willing to open up discussions with Seoul.
