Let’s start with some curling latest…
Preamble
Buongiorno a tutti e benvenuti alle Olimpiadi invernali 2026 – undicesimo giorno!
Rio Ferdinand once said he didn’t feel right in the morning until he’d done a rondo, and we’re getting to that point with curling – which is just as well, given that’s how we open today, and there’s more to come mid-morning.
In between times, we’ve got men’s large hill ski jumping and women’s aerials, then Germany play France and Switzerland take on Italy for a spot in the men’s ice hockey quarter-finals.
But the centrepiece of our early activity comes at high noon, with the final of the women’s snowboard slopestyle. Mia Brookes didn’t qualify, but Zoi Sadowski-Synnott, New Zealand’s reigning champion, absolutely did, likewise Melissa Peperkamp of the Netherlands; they’ll take some beating.
Into the afternoon, we’ve the quallies of the men’s aerials, medals to be handed out in the men’s large hill 10km cross-country and 4x7.5km biathlon relay, then a whole world of speed skating, building to the men and women’s team pursuit final around teatime.
There’s a short break thereafter, which we’ll use to reflect om what we’ve seen and prepare for what’s to come, then it’s into women’s singles figure skating and run three of the men’s two-man bob, German driver Francesco Friedrich going for a record fifth gold. Currently, though, he sits second behind his teammate, Johannes Lochner.
Next, a must-win match in the curling, with Great Britain facing Canada, after which we’ve the final of the men’s big air and the conclusion of that two-man bob.
Esattamente! Andiamo!
