11.52 a.m. – Nordic Combined: Schmid is also among the pursuers. But he can’t keep up the pace and has to let it drop. There are still a few hundred meters between the two groups. Riiber also has to be demolished. Geiger sniffs the Norwegian.
11.50 a.m. – Nordic Combined: The pursuers are getting closer and closer. In the meantime, there is already visual contact with the leading group, which was joined by the Austrian Lamparter. In the meantime, there are still 13 seconds from Geiger in first place. Now it’s time for the final round. Is that exciting!
11.44 a.m. – Nordic Combined: It’s halftime. Faißt is at the forefront of the music and runs in a group of three with the Japanese Watabe and Riiber. Behind them, about 40 seconds behind, come the first pursuers. And Vinzenz Geiger is already there. Will there be such a brutal catch-up race again?
11.41 a.m. – Nordic Combined: That was it with the comfortable lead. It’s the turn of the first group around Faißt, and Geiger has already caught up for more than a minute. The Olympic champion on the normal hill is only 52 seconds behind. It was over 2 minutes at first.
11.37 a.m. – Nordic Combined: Good gracious! Back at the stadium, Riiber simply takes the wrong turn! Instead of going on the second lap, the Norwegian mistakenly turns onto the home straight. That easily took 20 to 30 seconds. Bad for him, good for the German pursuers around Geiger and Co.
11.34 a.m. – Nordic Combined: And the Norwegian chooses a brisk initial pace. On the first chasing group around Faißt and Co. he packs a few seconds on the first intermediate time.
11.30 a.m. – Nordic Combined: Here we go! Riiber has started.
11.21 a.m. – Nordic Combined: In a few minutes, the combined athletes will be fighting for medals on the cross-country ski run. The best German after the jumping was Manuel Faißt in fourth, 47 seconds behind the Norwegian Jarl Magnus Riiber. Julian Schmid (+1:35 minutes), Vinzenz Geiger (+2:15 minutes) and Johannes Rydzek (+2:18 minutes) are significantly further behind
11.11 am – Figure Skating: As already announced by colleague Fraccalvieri, the short program for the women’s figure skating is currently running. 30 athletes take part in the competition. The top 25 of them can also compete in the freestyle in two days.
11.05 a.m.: Good morning from my side too! Then let’s see what the rest of the Olympic day has in store for us. Medal chances with station wagon and bobsleigh are more than given. Here we go!
11 a.m. – Handover: So, my duty is done with that, I say goodbye and hand over to my colleague Guinin, who will accompany you through the rest of the day. Clean skin! 😉
10:50 a.m. – Ice Hockey: There it rings again – and from the point of view of the Swiss in the right box. In the power play Denis Malgin welds the ball into the goal and increases to 3:1 for the Confederates.
10.38 a.m. – Outlook: Things have calmed down a bit after the hustle and bustle of the past few hours, but it won’t stay that way. The women’s figure skating short program starts at 11 a.m., which has been spoiled by the doping affair involving the Russian Kamila Valieva. From 11.30 a.m. the combined athletes will hit the track before the men in the two-man bobsleigh will try to win medals at 1.15 p.m.
10.20 a.m. – Ice Hockey: After the German gentlemen left the tournament without a word, the Confederates want to do better. So far this plan has worked, after the first third they are 2-1 ahead against the Czech Republic.
10.10 a.m. – Medal table: We’ve got some breathing room right now, so we can quickly take a look at the medal table. Et voila!
10 a.m. – Speed skating: In the men’s category, the Norwegians cheer at the end, clearly beating the Russians. The USA wins the small final.
9.50 a.m. – Nordic Combined: Then Vinzenz Geiger comes along and messes up a bit, just like Jörgen Graabak and Johannes Lamparter. Jarl Magnus Riiber then sets the final point with an unbelievable leap to 142 meters. Wow!
9.44 a.m. – Nordic Combined: That was nothing for Johannes Rydzek, he also hinted at it immediately after landing. He has to catch up a lot on the cross-country ski run. Julian Schmid does it better, but it’s not enough for the very front. But then Kristjan Ilves moves up to the front with 140 (!) meters. But I don’t want to hide an absolute curiosity from you. Ilves and Japan’s Ryota Yamamoto end up tied, I mean totally tied. Same distance (140 meters), same score from the jury (54) and same wind compensation (12.3 points). there are things.
9.40 a.m. – Nordic Combined: With Manuel Faißt, the first German to make a real announcement here. The 29-year-old jumps 133 meters and easily takes the lead. That currently means a 24-second lead over Franz-Josef Rehrl, who is currently second. Now comes the top ten!
9.35am – Speed Skating: Is that bitter for the Japanese women. There they are on course for gold in the last lap and then the last runner, Takagi, falls in the last meters. Oh man. Canada is happy about gold – after all, also with an Olympic record.
9.28am – Speed Skating: The Dutch gold medalist Ireen Wüst just didn’t make it for the team final, but in the small final the Dutch women had no problems with Russia and secured the bronze medal! The decision about gold and silver between Japan and Canada will soon be made. Of course there is also a set of medals for men.
9.17 a.m. – Two-man bobsleigh: It’s still a corner before the Germans jump, which is why we’re just looking at the bobsleigh track. From a German point of view, there is positive news there, gold candidate Mariama Jamanka missed the competition in the second training session and pulled away from the rest of the field by four tenths. So it can go on!
9.10 a.m. – Nordic Combined: From a German point of view, there are four athletes. Eric Frenzel is free again after his corona quarantine, but the competition comes too early for him. His goal is the team competition on Thursday. Vinzenz Geiger, Manuel Faißt, Julian Schmid and Johannes Rydzek are at the start today from a German perspective.
8.59 a.m. – Nordic Combined: Phew, we really have to take a deep breath, but we don’t have much time for that! The combined athletes start jumping on the large hill and it’s sure to rain medals today!
