Do you remember where you were on Saturday 4 August 2012, aka Super Saturday? Of course you do — watching Team GB’s heroes win three thrilling golds at the Olympic Stadium.

You may have to set your alarm a little earlier this time around, but it’ll be worth it to catch three British medal contenders going for gold in the Super Saturday sequel.

Elise Christie, Lizzy Yarnold and young slopestyle hopeful Izzi Atkin are all worth looking out for from Team GB today.

Check out the Day 8 Winter Olympic highlights, and see the full schedule of events live on BBC and Eurosport below.

Elise Christie was devastated after crashing out in the final of the women's 500m earlier this week, but she still has two more shots at a medal in Pyeongchang 2018. Find out more here.


Women's skeleton

11.20am BBC1 and Eurosport

Lizzy Yarnold won Britain’s only gold in Sochi, but she didn’t have the best of seasons last year," says BBC expert Amy Williams. "But Lizzy’s a great competitor, and always steps up at the major championships. Her experience of winning gold four years ago will really count when the pressure’s on. Racing first is better because the ice is much faster, but the order the racers go in depends on how they do in the heats." Find out more


Freestyle skiing: Women's Slopestyle

1am BBC red button and Eurosport, 3.45am BBC1

"Ski slopestyler Isabel Atkin grew up in Boston. Her dad’s British and her mum’s Malaysian — luckily we were able to convince her to compete for GB!" says Ski Sunday's Graham Bell. "It’s great that we have her: she’s 19, quite quiet, and I think that’s why she gravitated towards the British team. Some of the US team can be quite loud, but Izzy’s not that: she just gets on with the job, and won bronze earlier this year in the World Cup. She has a shot at a podium finish."


Figure skating: men's free programme

"Team USA’s Nathan Chen is the favourite to win and is phenomenal to watch," says BBC commentator Robin Cousins. "The ease with which he rotates is incredible — I’m so jealous! The moves skaters perform now compared to what we did in my day are the stuff of sci-fi. But the downside is that I don’t think they will have long careers, like Torvill and Dean or myself, because what they do now is so physically demanding — but they’re younger and more fearless than ever before."


Men's ice hockey: Olympic Athletes from Russia v USA

2pm BBC Red Button, Eurosport

"The Russian team will be known as the “Olympic Athletes from Russia” after the Sochi doping scandal — but it won’t affect who gets picked," says BBC ice hockey expert Seth Bennett. "In the US, top domestic ice hockey league the NHL has decided not to allow its players to go to the Olympics. Both Canada and the USA have lost their best talent; instead Team USA has looked to college-level athletes, with a few Europe-based players to make up its team. It will be an interesting mix."


Ski jumping: men's individual large hill

12.30pm BBC Red Button, Eurosport

The world’s top ski jumpers think nothing of the dizzying height of the 100m-high “Large Hill”, or hanging in the air for what seems like an age. No, for them it’s all about coming back down to earth…

“What scares the good guys is, if they have a really, really good jump, they can potentially outjump the landing hill,” says BBC skiing expert Graham Bell.

“The further they jump, the flatter the landing surface. If you land on a steep slope, it cushions and smooths the landing. But as the distances become further, the landing surface becomes flatter and much harder.

“Then it’s all about sticking the landing. All it takes is for the skier to put a hand on the snow — or worse — and that distance counts for nothing.”


How to watch the Winter Olympics 2018 live on TV

Both the BBC and Eurosport will have live coverage of the Games, but as host city Pyeongchang is nine hours ahead of the UK, some events will take place overnight. See RadioTimes.com listings for details of replays and highlights. There will also be a round-up show every evening on BBC and BBC4.
