The Heartland First Winter Olympics, officially the Heartland Games of the First Winter Olympiad, will be held in Stadt Nicht, Liverpool England, from October 4 to October 18, local year 2140. This is the first time Stadt Nicht has hosted a major international tournament, as it was not a venue in the XXII World Cup.

Events

Biathlon

Six events will take place in the biathlon programme, held over 10 of the 14 days scheduled for competition. The 7.5km women's sprint is scheduled for October 6, the 10 km men's sprint for October 8, the 15km women's individual for October 10, the 20 km men's individual for October 12, the women's 4-by-6 km relay for October 13 and the men's 4-by-7.5 km relay for October 15.

Bobsleigh

The bobsleigh, or bobsled, programme features just the men's and women's 2-man events as the men's 4-man event was cut from the programme. The two events will be held over four days, starting with the men's 2-man preliminaries on October 9 and ending with the women's 2-man finals on October 12.

Curling

As of the latest writing, there are only two nations that have confirmed curling teams for the Games. If no further entrants are confirmed, the two teams will met in a best-of-three series to determine gold and silver, with bronze being forfeited. If a third team is confirmed, a round-robin phase will be held, with teams facing each other twice, and the final standings determining the medals. Should four or more teams be confirmed, a round-robin phase will be held with teams meeting each other once. The top three teams from this round then face each other once again, once each, to determine medal positions.
