More competitions
At the men’s ice hockey tournament, the first quarter-finalists will be determined. The DEB selection needs a win against the USA (14.10 CET) to qualify directly. Much more likely is a decider on Tuesday against a team from another preliminary round group to qualify for the round of eight on Wednesday.
Group C continues with Slovakia versus Latvia and Finland versus Sweden.
After the luge and skeleton competitions, the women’s bobsleigh pilots also take part in the games. It starts with the first and second run in the monobob from 2.30 a.m. Mariama Jamanka and Laura Nolte are among the favorites for the medals.
Ski Freestyle slopestyle qualifier postponed
The heavy snowfall in Zhangjiakou’s Genting Snow Park has caused the first competitions in freestyle skiing to be postponed. Due to poor visibility, the Women’s Slopestyle Qualifier scheduled for Sunday morning (10:00 EST, 3:00 CET) will be postponed by at least one day.
As the world association FIS announced, the new schedule should be announced during the course of Sunday. The final was previously scheduled for Monday (9:30 a.m. OZ). The men’s qualification on Monday (12.30 pm OZ) is now threatened with a postponement.
