Great Britain’s 59-strong team heads to Pyeongchang with a strong chance of surpassing the previous best Winter Olympics total of four medals from both the 1924 and 2010 Games.
In fact, such is the strength in depth across a range of disciplines that it is conceivable Britain’s previous best tally could be eclipsed on just a single day – the Winter Games’ own ‘Super Saturday’ – on February 17.
Here Press Association Sport takes a look at how the magic could unfold on the middle weekend of the Pyeongchang Games.
1300 (0400GMT): Women’s Ski-Slopestyle final
Britain boasts two genuine medal chances provided they come through qualifying unscathed. Izzy Atkin followed up her World Championship bronze medal last year with another bronze in a World Cup in Aspen earlier this month. Meanwhile 22-year-old Katie Summerhayes – who finished seventh in Sochi – returned to form with a World Cup silver in November.
1900 (1000GMT): Women’s Short-track 1500m final
Hopefully Elise Christie will head into the 1500m final with a 500m medal already safely in the bag. Provided she can stay on her feet, Christie will start as favourite to finally banish the ghosts of her Sochi nightmare. But Britain has a second medal chance in the shape of team-mate Charlotte Gilmartin, who won World Cup bronze at the distance in Dresden last year.
2020 (1120GMT): Women’s Skeleton
Defending champion Lizzy Yarnold may not have had the best of seasons but her fourth place in the final World Cup race of the season in Konigssee spoke volumes for her determination to become the first British Winter Olympian to defend her title. Her more consistent team-mate Laura Deas is a former World Cup winner who should also challenge for a medal.
