In total, 70 medal events will be contested across 15 sport disciplines, including brand new events for Lillehammer 2016 such as monobob and cross-country cross free.
Team GB’s 16 athletes are set to compete in seven of these; alpine skiing, bobsleigh, curling, freestyle skiing, ice hockey skills challenge, luge and skeleton.
