Beijing 2022 preview for 20 February: Key events not to miss at the Olympic Winter Games

The last five gold medals are awarded on the final day of Beijing 2022, before the Closing Ceremony in the evening.

In the afternoon, the figure skaters get one final outing on the ice in the exhibition gala (12:00-14:30) and the women’s cross country 30km mass start free (11:00-13:15) will result in a new champion after the retirement of Norwegian legend Marit Bjørgen, following her remarkable final Games at PyeongChang 2018.

Friedrich has already successfully defended his two-man title. Will he win another gold medal on the last day of Beijing 2022?

After beating Sweden in the extra end of the semifinals (12-11), a medal is guaranteed. Will Muirhead and her teammates top the podium?

Japan, the same team they lost the bronze medal to in PyeongChang, will be formidable rivals after they beat reigning world champions Switzerland 8-6 on their way to the final.

One of the highlights of the final day is the
