PyeongChang Olympic Games timetable has landed

Published Tue 19 Sep 2017

With just under 150 days to go until the start of the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018, the full competition schedule has been unveiled*.

Full Schedule

There are six new medal events for the Olympic Games PyeongChang 2018 – Snowboard Big Air (M/W), Speed Skating Mass Start (M/W), Curling Mixed Doubles and the Alpine Team Event. This takes the total of gold medal events to 102 – making it the largest number of events ever contested at an Olympic Winter Games to date.

The evening program will be a feature for the Games with Ski Jumping to be held under lights alongside other Winter Games events such as Short Track Speed Skating, Luge and Biathlon.

Alpine Skiing is being held across two venues for PyeongChang 2018 – Jeongseong Alpine Centre for the Speed events namely Downhill, Super G and Alpine Combined; and Yongpyong Alpine Centre for the technical events of Giant Slalom, Slalom and Team Event. This allows for the competitions to run on alternate days instead of one after the other that has been the case at previous Games. 

To accommodate the packed and exhilarating schedule on both snow and ice, the competitions for Mixed Doubles Curling and Ski Jumping will begin on the 8th February – one day before the Opening Ceremony. Freestyle Skiing will take place on the day of the Opening Ceremony, which will make for a great day out for those looking to see some sporting action before heading to the PyeongChang Olympic Stadium for the official opening.

The honor of receiving the first and last medals of the Games will go to athletes from Cross-Country Skiing late afternoon on Day 2 and late afternoon of Day 16. Commonly referred to as a ‘marathon on snow’ it is apt that the competition runs from opening to closing of the Winter Games.

Competition event ticket holders will have access to the free Games public transport system and also get free access to the Olympic Park and Olympic Plaza where they can spend a full day out to experience a wide range of cultural activities, try new sports, see the Olympic Flame burning in the cauldron, watch live coverage of the Games and concerts at the live sites, and enjoy so much more!
