Olympics Friday: What the Olympic Day brings
German athletes are competing in various events at the Olympics, with hopes for medals in biathlon and ski disciplines, while the German men's ice hockey team has been eliminated from the tournament.
The latest Olympic events involve German athletes in biathlon, ice hockey, and ski freestyle competitions. In biathlon, the German team has so far secured a medal only in the mixed relay category, and in the men's final event, athletes Philipp Nawrath, Philipp Horn, and David Zobel are set to compete for a second medal. Their competition starts at 14:15 at the Antholz track.
Meanwhile, the men's ice hockey team faced elimination in the quarter-finals, which means the semi-finals will be held without any German participation. The upcoming matches will see Canada face Finland, followed later by the USA competing against Slovakia for a chance to enter the finals. This situation has led to disappointment among fans given the high expectations for the German team.
In ski freestyle, after weather-related delays, the schedule in Livigno has been adjusted. Women's cross events will kick off at 10:00, featuring athlete Daniela Maier competing for a medal, followed by finals starting at 13:10 and aerial competitions at 13:30. The day's events will conclude with the halfpipe competitions at 19:30, wrapping up a packed Olympic day for the German athletes.
