We’re just over a week from the Winter Olympics, which will kick off in Italy 4 years after they were hosted by Beijing in 2022. Winter sports don’t get a huge amount of attention in the summery climates of Australia, but we have some definite contenders to watch in these Games… So in this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll get you up to speed with who the big Aussie chances are, some of the new events, and how to watch…
Note: This year, the Winter Paralympics will begin a few weeks after the Winter Olympics on 6 March - we'll cover that separately when the time comes across Squiz Today and Shortcuts as well!
Squiz Recommends:
Reading: This Fox Sports article lists every Aussie competing in this year’s games, and which ones are considered medal chances, podium chances and so on.
