In pair skating, Minerva Hase and Nikita Volodin, who are the current world runners-up, lead the competition after delivering a flawless tango performance in their short program.

Their free skate is scheduled to begin at 8 PM, and expectations are high for their continuing success.
On the bobsledding front, the German team has seen promising results in luge and skeleton events, and there is anticipation for the first bobsled medals to be awarded as well. In the women's monobob, crucial runs three and four are set to take place later in the day, with Laura Nolte currently leading the standings. Lisa Buckwitz is also in contention, sitting in a strong sixth place. The men's two-man bobsled event will commence with its initial two runs in the morning, featuring pilots Johannes Lochner, Francesco Friedrich, and Adam Amm.
Overall, the day is marked by excitement as German athletes compete across these disciplines, with hopes running high for medal achievements. The outcomes of these events will not only impact the medal tally but also influence the morale and momentum for Germany as the Olympics continue.
