A full program with exciting decisions in Beijing awaits us again this Saturday. A total of six sets of medals will be awarded, with the German athletes wanting to get involved again. The mixed snowboard cross competition (3:50 a.m.) and the 4×5 kilometer cross-country relay (8:30 a.m.) for women will start off. Benedikt Doll and Johannes Kühn are among the extended favorites in the biathlon sprint (10 a.m.), Hannah Neise and Tina Hermann also have the best prospects in the skeleton (2:55 p.m.). In speed skating (09:53), the men are chasing gold, silver and bronze over the 500m distance. Then the ski jumpers Karl Geiger and Markus Eisenbichler want to fight back after the setback last weekend on the large hill (12 o’clock) and attack the podium. In addition, the German national ice hockey team will meet host China in the second Olympic game (9:40 a.m.).
