Bob (F): Jamaica blunders
Now Mariama Jamaica is ready. After a decent start, the 31-year-old also takes boards with her early on, which means that the monobob is slightly askew. That costs speed. And so a lot of backlog accumulates dramatically. That’s a pretty botched run, which puts the German in 9th place, almost a second and a half behind.

Bob (F): The first German in monobob
After a botched run by Australia’s Breeana Walker, it’s Laura Nolte’s turn. The German, who is so strong in training, takes a few bands, it doesn’t look so clean. Only at the bottom does the 23-year-old hit the line very well. However, Nolte can no longer catch up on the lost three tenths – 2nd place.

Bob (F): Favorite in front
Then Kaillie Humphries clearly shows what’s inside the train. The world champion goes one better and improves the track record significantly. The cushion for the further runs is very generous with 68 hundredths. From now on, the favorite will clearly be at the top.
02:37
Bob (F): Lead change
At the latest now there is a first announcement in the ice channel. Elana Meyers Taylor starts well as usual, but then leaves reserves in the choice of line. Therefore, the American loses after an initially good lead. In the end it is enough to set a new track record. Meyers Taylor only manages six hundredths of a second to the Chinese Mingming Huai.

Bob (F): The 1st run in monobob
Olympic premiere: The first ever women’s monobob run has started. The South Korean Kim makes the beginning in the ice channel. After 1:06.68 minutes, the 29-year-old is down – of course with a track record. But what is your time worth?

Curling (M): Canada takes the lead
Both the Americans, the reigning Olympic champions, and the Canadians did not start the Olympic tournament optimally. In 2018 in Pyeongchang, both teams faced each other in the semi-finals, with the USA winning 5-3. After the first end, the Canadians lead 1-0.

Curling (M): It starts in the Aquatics Centre
The first games have just started. Can the Italians get their first points and write a success story again after the sensational gold in mixed? And will the Swedes remain undefeated in the fifth game?

After 58 of 109 competitions, Germany is currently ahead in the medal table, followed by Norway and the USA. Austria is in sixth place, Switzerland in twelfth place.

The second DSV athlete at the monobob premiere is Laura Nolte. Katrin Beierl will be at the start for Austria, Switzerland will be represented by Melanie Hasler. The first run starts at 2:30 am, from 4:00 am, the second run starts at Yanqing National Sliding Center!

Alpine skiing (F): Downhill training is cancelled
Kira Weidle only gets one more chance to get to know the Olympic downhill better. Because the second training session (11:00 a.m. ET, 4:00 a.m. CET) had to be canceled due to snowfall in Yanqing. Weidle drove the second fastest time on the “Rock” slope in the first training session, now she only has the final training session on Monday. The supreme discipline is about gold on Tuesday.

First medal award in alpine skiing
The first medals will be awarded in alpine skiing on Sunday. In the men’s giant slalom, the first run starts at 3:15 a.m. The second round then begins at 6:45 a.m. The big favorite for gold is Marco Odermatt from Switzerland, who won five of the six giant slalom World Cups in the season. At night it is also the turn of the women in the monobob. In the first two races it is important to position yourself for the decision on Monday. In the early hours of the morning, the cross-country skiers then award their medals in the relay.
