A total of 2,871 athletes from 92 countries will compete in 116 events across eight sports and 16 disciplines, including the debut of ski mountaineering.

Earlier this week there was heartbreak for Scottish curlers Bruce Mouat and Jennifer Dodds as they lost a mixed doubles curling bronze match for the second Olympics in succession - this time to home favourites Italy.

But there’s no time for them to contemplate that loss as they are both back on the ice in the men’s and women’s curling competition.

And this evening will see the Games’ breakout star, American skater Ilia Malinin, go for his second gold in front of a television audience of millions.

Here’s everything you need to know.
