In figure skating, two Russian couples may be on the podium.

Alpine skiing

Mixed team competition. For 3rd place and final (06:28 Moscow time)

This discipline is the youngest in alpine skiing. For the first time, viewers saw mixed team competitions four years ago.

Mixed is carried out according to the playoff system, starting from the 1/8 finals (starts at 5 am). Two men and two women participate from each team (two reservists can also be included in the application).

Russia in the 1/8 finals will meet with Italy. The Russians have no hope for medals. And, most likely, they will fly out already at 1/8. At the World Championships, at least for me, they never went beyond the first round.

The main favorites are Austria, Norway, Switzerland, Germany.

Cross-country skiing

Men. Mass start, 50 km (09:00 Moscow time)

Four Russians will go skiing - Alexander Bolshunov, Ivan Yakimushkin, Artem Maltsev and Denis Spitsov.

The main contender for the first place is twice gold, silver and bronze medalist Beijing Bolshunov. His main competitors are the Norwegians Simen Kruger, Johannes Klebo, Hans Holund and Shur Rete. Two-time Olympic champion Pyeongchang Kruger will hold the first and last race in Beijing. He missed previous starts due to the coronavirus.

There is also a chance to climb the podium and the gold and silver medalist of the current Olympics Spitsov.

Skating

Men. Mass start. Final (11:30 Moscow time)

The semi-finals will start at 10:00. Each has 15 participants. The top eight will advance to the final. Daniil Aldoshkin will take part in the first race. In the second - Ruslan Zakharov. Both Russians are silver medalists of the current Olympiad in the team race.

Zakharov has hopes for a medal. Most likely, the Russian will be able to compete for bronze. But gold, apparently, will be played by Belgian Bart Swings and American Joy Mantia. Also competing for the podium will be Dutchman Jorrit Bergsma and Italian Andrea Giovannini.

Skating

Women. Mass start. Final (12:00 Moscow time)

The semi-finals will start at 10:45. There are 14 participants in the first one, 15 in the second one. Eight best will go to the final.

Elizaveta Golubeva runs in the first semi-final. In the second - Elena Sokhryakova. The first has theoretical chances for bronze, the second does not.

Most likely, the competition will be won by Beijing's twice gold and bronze medalist Irene Schouten from the Netherlands. The main candidates for the podium are also the Canadian Ivani Blonden and the Dutch Mareike Grunevaud, the Italian Francesca Lollobrigida and the Japanese Nana Takagi.

Figure skating

Pairs. Free program (14:00 Moscow time)

The balance of power after the short program is as follows:

Sui Wenjing/Han Cong (China) — 84.41 points;

Evgenia Tarasova / Vladimir Morozov (Russia) - 84.25;

Anastasia Mishina / Alexander Gallyamov (Russia) - 82.76;

Alexandra Boykova / Dmitry Kozlovsky (Russia) - 78.59.

It was expected that the main contenders for gold would be the pairs of Wenjing / Cong and Mishina / Galliamov, but the latter are still only third. It will be difficult for Russian couples to get ahead of the hosts of the Olympics, although the struggle is still ahead.

Boikova and Kozlovsky are highly likely to remain fourth.

Domestic bobsledders do not qualify for medals in this type of program. The three winners after the third and fourth attempts are unlikely to change: Laura Nolte / Deborah Levy (Germany), Mariama Yamanka / Alexandra Bughart (Germany), Ilana Meyers Taylor / Sylvia Hoffman (USA).
