At the Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, Japan's ski jumping team secured a 6th place finish in the new men's Super Team event. Competing in pairs, Ren Nikaido and Ryuichi Kobayashi had completed their second jump and were preparing for a third when the weather conditions deteriorated, resulting in the cancellation of the competition. The standings after the second jump were confirmed as the final results.

In addition to the ski jumping event, the results of the pairs' free skate were closely watched, where the Japanese team of Rika Miura and Ryuichi Kihara aimed for a breakthrough, targeting the first medal for Japan in this category. After some mistakes in their short program, they ranked 5th, adding pressure as they sought to make history for their nation on the Olympic figure skating stage.

Furthermore, the women's curling team, 'Fortius,' faced off against Canada in the preliminary league but struggled with a record of 1 win and 4 losses. This match was critical for their standings, as the team aimed to turn their fortunes around and advance in the tournament. Overall, the day was marked by Japan's attempts to excel in various winter sports, despite the challenges posed by weather and performance pressures.
