The Beijing Winter Olympics has begun in exciting style with some sensational medal-winning efforts already.

We are just getting going, though, with many more events to come including some particularly exciting ones on Monday, with teen sensations Kamila Valieva and Su Yiming in line for medal opportunities.

Here, Stats Perform provides a rundown of all the medal events taking place in the Chinese capital on Monday.

Alpine skiing

The men's downhill medals are up for grabs, with Swiss superstar Marco Odermatt among the favourites. The 24-year-old, who won five gold medals at the junior world championships in 2018, is leading the overall World Cup standings and is heavily fancied for gold here.

There are also the two runs of the women's giant slalom, with Sara Hector of Sweden and Mikaela Shiffrin of the United States two to keep an eye on as strong medal contenders. 

Biathlon

The women's 15km individual takes place at Zhangjiakou National Biathlon Centre, with current leader of the Biathlon World Cup, Marte Olsbu Roiseland of Norway, competing.

French duo Justine Braisaz-Bouchet and Julia Simon, who came first and second respectively at the most recent World Cup event in Italy, will also be on the hunt for medals.

Figure skating

Valieva, aged 15, made headlines on Sunday with a stunning performance, along with that of team-mate Mark Kondratiuk, to put the Russian Olympic Committee in a strong position in the team event.

The ROC have a steady lead at 45 points ahead of the United States on 42, with Japan third on 39, while Canada (30) and China (29) sit fourth and fifth, and Valieva will go again in the women single skating free run on Monday.

Ka-mi-la! 

The ROC's Kamila Valieva nearly broke her own world record in her Olympic debut, sending her team into the lead with a stirring short program.

Short track speed skating

The women's 500m quarter-finals, semi-finals and final take place, with Dutch skater Suzanne Schulting hoping to do as expected and secure gold after breaking the Olympic record set in 2018 by South Korea's Choi Min-jeong by 0.043 seconds in her heat on Saturday.

The men's 1000m final stages also take place, with Hungary's Liu Shaoang one to watch, who won two golds and two silvers at the 2021 Short-Track World Championships.

Ski jumping

Monday's mixed team event will include all six medallists from the men's and women's normal hill individual events, with Slovenia's Ursa Bogataj and Nika Kriznar, Germany's Katharina Althaus, Japan's Ryoyu Kobayashi, Austria's Manuel Fettner and Poland's Dawid Kubacki all involved.

Snowboarding

The men's slopestyle final takes place over three runs at the Genting Snow Park H&S Stadium, with Sunday's qualifying teasing the standard of big tricks and big scores we can expect to see.

China's Su wowed the home crowd with a massive score of 86.80 on his first run and the 17-year-old will certainly be one to watch along with Canadian legend and two-time Olympic medallist Mark McMorris.

China’s own Su Yiming came through with a heavy first run, earning a score of 86.80 to lead the top 12 into Monday’s men’s @Beijing2022 slopestyle finals…

Speed skating

The women's 1500m will see Japan's Miho Takagi looking to take gold in an event that has been dominated by the Dutch for the last 12 years.

She could only come sixth in the 3000m on Saturday but is the favourite to skate to victory in the 1500m, and she told Japanese media after that race: "It felt like there was a lot more friction on the ice than last week and it felt a bit heavier (to skate). 

"I got a feel of the ice rink, so I think it'll be easier for me to imagine (my race). It'll be easier to think about how to structure the race for the 1500m than for the 3000m."
