Overview
- A brief power outage caused a short delay at the Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium shortly after mixed doubles matches began, and officials said the cause is under investigation.
- The Winter Games run Feb. 4–22 across Milan, Cortina d’Ampezzo and mountain clusters including Livigno, Bormio, Antholz/Anterselva, Predazzo, Tesero and Verona.
- Early rounds began before the Opening Ceremony, with mixed doubles curling starting Feb. 4 and women’s hockey and snowboarding scheduled to open on Feb. 5.
- U.S. viewers can watch live across NBC, USA Network and CNBC, with every event streamed on Peacock; UK coverage is on TNT Sports and discovery+, with supplemental broadcasts on the BBC.
- The program features 116 medal events and the Olympic debut of ski mountaineering, and the IOC’s neutral‑athlete rules allow some Russian and Belarusian competitors only after case‑by‑case review.
