Winter Olympics on today – Expert picks for Saturday 7th February
Alpine Skiing: Men’s Downhill
From 10:30am on BBC One, TNT Sports 2 and discovery+
Chemmy Alcott says…
This run is long and gnarly, which suits someone wild like Franjo von Allmen more than Swiss number one, Marco Odermatt, who should dominate in the Super G and Giant Slalom — although Franjo sometimes goes too wild.
Austria’s Vincent Kriechmayr has solid technique and experience while Italy’s Giovanni Franzoni is on the up. Having lost his best friend in a training accident last year, he has plenty of motivation and is peaking at the right time.
Snowboarding: Men’s Big Air Final
From 6:30pm on BBC Two, TNT Sports 2 & 6 and discovery+
Aimee Fuller says…
The record for the men’s Big Air is six-and-a-half rotations, but I think we’ll see an extra 180 degrees here. Having three shots at a jump the size of a double-decker bus encourages innovation and each nation has at least one contender, but while the Norwegians have the most experience, the Japanese and Canadians are favourites. And if anyone’s going to land a brand new trick, it will be the Japanese.
