If you can’t make it to the Winter Olympics, you can still step inside the stadium — as Eurosport captures the action in virtual reality.

This year’s Winter Olympic Games kick off in PyeongChang in China on 9 Feb. Through a dedicated Eurosport VR app you’ll be able to watch events including skiing, curling, figure skating, ice hockey and snowboarding, as well as the opening and closing ceremonies. In addition to choosing a spot in the stadium to watch live in 360-degrees, you’ll be able to immerse yourself in on-demand VR replays and daily highlights.

The app is available on 1 Feb. for iOS and Android phones, or Samsung Gear VR, Google Daydream and Windows Mixed Reality headsets.
