Hopes will be high when Team GB’s skiers, skaters and snowboarders take to the snow and ice at the Winter Olympics in South Korea – and it all begins this week with the first events and Friday’s spectacular opening ceremony.

TV Times caught up with Robin, 60, to find out more about Great Britain’s medal hopes and his own memories of Olympic glory…
