All of Ireland's athletes in the Winter Olympics and when they'll compete - SportsJOE.ie

Here's all you need to know.

While it's no secret that Ireland has been more successful in the Summer Olympics rather than its winter counterpart, the nation has still sent four athletes to the Milano-Cortina games.

So, without further delay, here are the four competitors and when they'll be competing.

Cormac Comerford (Alpine Skiing)

Cormac Comerford will be competing in four events in these games, already taking part in the men's downhill skiing, finishing 34th in the blue ribbon event.

Comerford's story is one of pure perseverance, racing for the first time at the games after three previous attempts.

He made it to Italy thanks to crowdfunding.

The 29-year-old learned to ski at the Kilteran dry slopes and works as a mechanical engineer in the off-season.

Comerford's coming events:

Wednesday 11 Feb, 10:30 start: Super-G

Saturday 14 Feb, 09:00 start: Giant Slalom Run one & two

Monday 16 Feb, 09:00 start: Slalom Run one & two

Thomas Maloney Westgaard (Cross Country)

Thomas Maloney Westgaard will be taking to the cross country ski track in his third Winter Olympics, cementing his veteran status.

Westgaard will be competing across three events, one of which (skiathlon) took place yesterday in which he finished a very respectable 35th place, in the middle of the pack.

Westgaard was born in Norway to a Norwegian father and a mother from Galway.

Westgaard's coming events:

Friday 13 Feb, 10:45: 10km Free

Saturday 21 Feb, 10:00: 50km Classic

Anabelle Zurbay (Alpine Skiing)

Youngster Annabelle Zurbay will be making her first appearance at the games at just 17 years old, becoming Ireland's youngest skier ever at the Winter Olympics.

She's based in Colorado and qualified for Ireland through her grandmother who is from Westmeath.

Zurbay's coming events:

Sunday 15 Feb, 09:00 start: Giant Slalom Run one & two

Wednesday 18 Feb, 09:00 start: Slalom Run one & two
