Alison Kiddle: Last time I went ice skating I fell over backwards and banged my head. I am better suited to watching than participating in winter sport!

If you're waiting for a gold medal, you may well need some coffee. The first Olympic champion will be crowned in women's cross-country skiing, which does not start until 07:15 tomorrow morning.

After that, there are medals to be won in biathlon, short-track skating, speed skating and ski-jumping.

R: Trained for a triathlon when living in Mongolia - running when -31C is a silly idea. Didn’t go far and no swimming as the river was frozen

Both teams have won three of their first four matches, with four wins you've got to think you've got a pretty good chance of progressing.

It could well be a fabulous match. These are two of the best curling nations in the world, Canada always expecting medals and Switzerland are World Champions in this mixed double event - new to the Winter Olympics.

Remember how I told you that you can watch curling? It's on the Red Button right now. Mixed curling, to be precise - a new event for this edition of the Games. A couple of heavyweights going at it...

BBC One

BBC One. Wonderful animated credits. Professor Brian Cox talking over moody shots of the mountains and clips of Games past, telling us that sport, science and humanity will collide. Production values of an Oscar-winner.

The sort of thing that gets you in the mood.

Still, I don't want to hear any more sob stories about it being chilly in South Korea.

I had to de-ice my windscreen before I came to the office tonight.

And why does the front windscreen always freeze before the back one?

Also, you might have heard that it's quite chilly in Pyeongchang. I've heard rumours of -20 and below.

So, tell me, when have you braved the cold in the name of sport?

Think of a wet Tuesday night in Stoke, but worse.

On the subject of winter sports, have you ever tried one? Let me know how it turned out. Clearly, there will be tales of woe, but there must be some success out there too. Do you have a talent for curling? Did you meet your partner at an ice rink? Have you attempted luge?

Clearly, without you I'm nothing. Get involved using the hashtag #bbcolympics or text on 81111.

Let me know where you are and what you're up to. If you can get a snap of yourself recreating a winter sport all the better. Extra points for doing it in the pub.

What's happening, I hear you both cry?

I'll tell you.

The first gold medals are won on Saturday morning, so before then we're focusing on various qualifications.

Right now, you can watch mixed doubles curling, with some slopestyle snowboarding to come in a hour or so - Jamie Nicholls will lead the British charge.

Later, there's figure skating. Stay tuned.

Welcome. How the devil are you? Settled in? Brew on? Maybe out for the night? Or in a sunny part of the world?

Sit tight for the next 16 days.

102 Olympic champions will be crowned. Dreams made and hearts broken. Heroes made and villians cast.

And you'll learn a bit about sports you didn't even know existed...

I could go on (Shakespeare's opening to Richard III went on for ages), but I won't.

The reason? The Winter Olympics is live on the Red Button and at the top of this page right now.

Now will they by bound with victorious medals....
