On this sixth day of the Olympic Winter Games in Beijing, the competitions start at 2:30 a.m. German time. The snowboarders open the day in the qualification of the halfpipe competition. This will be followed by the eagerly awaited women’s slalom in alpine skiing. In addition, the Nordic Combined athletes will start their Olympic adventure at around 9 a.m. with the normal hill jump followed by cross-country skiing at around 12 p.m. The men’s ice hockey preliminary round also begins. But Germany won’t play against the world power Canada until Thursday. Of course, German medal hopes also rest on the tobogganists in the doubles, who will plunge into the ice channel from 1:20 p.m.
Good morning!
