Seventeen Scottish athletes will represent Team GB at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Italy. The delegation includes competitors in curling, figure skating, freestyle skiing, and cross-country skiing. Many of these athletes have medal aspirations, while others aim to gain valuable experience on the Olympic stage. Competition begins with mixed curling on Wednesday, two days before the official start of the Games.

In curling, Bruce Mouat and Jennifer Dodds are favorites in the mixed event, having previously secured a silver medal. The men's rink, led by Mouat, is also expected to contend for gold. Figure skater Lewis Gibson aims to end Team GB's three-decade wait for a figure skating podium finish. Meanwhile, Kirsty Muir, fresh off an X Games gold, is a strong medal contender in freestyle skiing.

Veteran cross-country skier Andrew Musgrave prepares for his fifth Olympics, hoping to secure a medal in what could be his final appearance. He'll be joined by James Clugnet and Anna Pryce. Several athletes have strong medal chances. The Scottish contingent has a rich history in winter sports, and all eyes are on them to see how they perform in Italy.
