Olympics overall score

Medals in brief

Biathlete Kristina Reztsova can compete for a medal in the mass start.

Biathletes Alexander Loginov and Eduard Latypov are able to compete for awards in the race from a common start.

Biathlon

Women. Mass start, 12.5 km (10:00 Moscow time)

The women's mass start was supposed to take place on Saturday at 12 noon, but at this time in Beijing they promise strong winds and about 20 degrees below zero. The race was decided to be postponed.

Silver in the relay does not make domestic biathletes the favorites of the upcoming race. Personal starts are completely different. However, Kristina Reztsova can compete for the award. It is on her account that the only medal of the Russians in individual starts this season is the third place in the mass start at the fourth stage of the World Cup. Reztsova in the standings of races from the general start is in second place.

The best chances of winning are the three-time Beijing champion Norwegian Marte Olsbu-Røiseland. Other main contenders for the medals are sisters Elvira and Hanna Oeberg of Sweden and Mass Start leader Dorothea Wierer of Italy.

Freestyle

Men. Ski cross. For third place and final (10:10 Moscow time)

Seeding will start at 06:45, then freestylers are waiting for 1/8 and the next stages up to the final. From Russia, the bronze medalist of Pyeongchang in ski-cross Sergey Ridzik, Igor Omelin and Kirill Sysoev will start at the start.

Theoretically, Ridzik could compete for the award, but this hopes are low. The main contenders for the podium are the Swiss Ryan Regez, as well as the French Bastien Midol and Terence Chiknavorian, plus the Swede David Moberg and the Austrian Tristan Takats.

Biathlon

Men. Mass start, 15 km (12:00 Moscow time)

The men's mass start is the last biathlon race at the Olympics.

The only award of the Russians in individual starts in Beijing belongs to Eduard Latypov. He won bronze in the pursuit. Latypov may also fight for a medal in the mass start, but it is not clear what psychological state he is in after the failed shooting at the last frontier in the relay, when the Russians took third place instead of first. Whether Latypov will cope with the pressure is one of the intrigues of the race.

The medals with a high degree of probability will be played by the most successful biathletes of the Beijing Olympics - the Norwegian brothers Johannes (three golds and bronze) and Tarjei (two golds, silver and bronze) Be, as well as the Frenchman Kenten Fillon Maillet (two golds and three silvers).

We do not discount the Russians Alexander Loginov and Latypov.

Skating

Men, 1000 m (11:30 Moscow time)

Pavel Kulizhnikov, twice gold medalist and twice silver medalist of the world championships at a distance of 1000 m, will take part in the race. Also among the starting Russians is Viktor Mushtakov.

Despite Kulizhnikov's achievements at world championships, he is not among the favorites at the Olympics, which includes, first of all, the Dutch Thomas Krol, Kai Verbey and Hein Ottersper, as well as the Chinese Ning Zhongyan.

Figure skating

Pairs, short program (13:30 Moscow time)

Russia will be represented by three couples - the winners of the team tournament of the current Olympics Anastasia Mishina and Alexander Gallyamov, Evgenia Tarasova and Vladimir Morozov, Alexandra Boikova and Dmitry Kozlovsky.

In the team round, the pairs competition was won by the Chinese Sui Wenjing and Han Cong. Now they have approximately equal chances for gold with a pair of Mishina - Gallyamov. The second and third places are likely to be taken by two other Russian couples.

The medals in the competition will be distributed on November 19 following the results of the free program.

Hockey

Men. Russia - Sweden, semi-finals (16:10 Moscow time)

The chances of the teams to win can be called the same. Sweden performs more evenly at the Olympics and surpasses Russia in many important statistical indicators - the game in the majority and minority, the number of goals and penalty minutes.

But Russia, as well as before all the other matches, except for the first, had more time to recover, and in terms of the level of players gathered in the squad, it is definitely not inferior to the Scandinavians.

Also on Friday in Beijing, medals will be played among women in freestyle (ski-halfpipe), but the Russians will not take part in these competitions. In the men's curling match for third place, the teams of Canada and the United States will meet.
