Grab your skis, snowboard and skates — it’s almost time for the Winter Olympics and Paralympics.

The Games will unfold in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, from Feb. 6 to 22, when the international stars of winter sports will compete for Olympic gold and glory.

The opening ceremony, which will be hosted by “TODAY” show anchor Savannah Guthrie and NBC Sports’ Terry Gannon, will be held at the San Siro soccer stadium in Milan. The celebration will feature the parade of delegations, the lighting of the Olympic cauldron, a performance by Mariah Carey and an act by Italian actor Pierfrancesco Favino.
