Andrew Musgrave set for fifth Olympic appearance on day 2 at Milano Cortina 2026

Team GB will be back in action in a range of sports on day two in Milano Cortina.

Andrew Musgrave will become a five-time Olympian in cross-country skiing, while Mia Brookes is also in action and the curling mixed doubles continues.

Cross-country skiing

Three British skiers will take on the men’s 10km + 10km skiathlon from 11.30am.

Musgrave, who has a best Olympic finish of seventh in the 30km skiathlon at PyeongChang 2018, is joined by James Clugnet, appearing at his second Games, and debutant Joe Davies, who grew up in British Columbia watched the Vancouver 2010 Olympics as a fan.

Snowboarding

Women’s big air qualification takes centre stage on Sunday evening, with action getting underway at 7.30pm.

Mia Brookes is a two-time overall World Cup winner in this discipline, while she became a junior big air world champion in 2022. This is her first event of the Games, with slopestyle – in which she won her second X Games gold in January – following later.

Brookes is joined by Maisie Hill, who recovered from a life-threatening training crash into a wall of ice in 2023 and will now make her Olympic debut.

The 24-year-old was left with a lacerated liver, a broken spine, ribs and pelvis, a fractured lung and a bleed on the brain after the incident, but will complete a remarkable comeback in Livigno.

Curling

Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds play two more matches in the ranking round as they bid to remain undefeated.

The British pair have already secured a place in the semi-finals but will hope to continue their momentum as they face Switzerland at 1.35pm before taking on Italy at 6.05pm.
