The Olympic program on Wednesday 9 February: the women's slalom before the six medal races, the Bergamo-based player will play for the title in snowboard cross and, with biathlon and cross-country skiing, keep an eye on the short track and double sledding. The Nordic combined also begins (without the great favorite Riiber).

A not bad first morning, to be enjoyed croissant and cappuccino with two top-level women's competitions to open the fifth day of Beijing 2022.
Shiffrin vs Vlhova (but also pay attention to Holdener, Liensberger, Gisin ...) is the long-awaited duel for the Olympic slalom, starting at 3.15 for the 1st heat (for the bravest, with live TV on Rai 2 and Eurosport 1 / Eurosport Player) and with the second at 6.45 am, just before the big date with history for Michela Moioli. At 7.30, after the qualification scheduled for 4.00, the final phase of the Olympic snowboard cross race that crowned the Bergamo rider in 2018 starts.
Six titles up for grabs, with the men's big air freeski at 4.00 (there is the blue Leonardo Donaggio in the final at 12). Bottomless and biathlon, which will live a day of rest, in the heart of the morning you can enjoy the debut of the Nordic combined, with the jump on Normal Hill scheduled at 9.00 and the race, without its Jarl Magnus Riiber lighthouse (positive at Covid since last week), which will be decided on the 10 km of cross-country skiing from 12.00.
The short track is back, with the semifinal of the women's relay which will see Italy as the protagonist, and the only final with the men's 1500s where Pietro Sighel can do very well (last act scheduled around 14.20). In the meantime, on the gut of Yanqing I am still sledding with the double and the couple formed by Emanuel Rieder and Simon Kainzwaldner in dance for the medals (first run at 13.20, the decisive one from 14.35).
Finally, the men's “classic” curling tournament (Italy at rest) and the ice hockey tournament begins.
