The results of the night, with the blue specialist only sixteenth after the first two runs and the Germans attacking the Australian Narracott. Nothing to do for Retornaz & Co. even against the very strong Sweden: 9-3 the final.

A hope for a medal that moves away decisively already halfway through the Olympic women's skeleton, for a Valentina Margaglio who pays a 1 "54 gap and is sixteenth, after the first two runs that saw the Alexandrian champion commit many driving errors, while always signing the best push times.
Surprises were expected and so it was, unfortunately also for the same blue who started among the favorites on Yanqing's gut, just think of the Russian Elena Nikitina who finds herself even eighteenth at 1 "65 from the Australian Jaclyn Narracott, who drives with the large group of German but close. Neise is second at 21 cents, Hermann third at 23, Loelling fifth at 38 (with Kimberley Bos, another highly anticipated woman, sixth at + 0 "39) behind the Chinese Dan Zhao, fourth at + 0" 32 and with a medal chance , which would be sensational, in the two decisive runs tomorrow evening.
Today, however, the men's skeleton will be decided with third and fourth runs (from 13.20) and Christopher Grotheer already very close to the Olympic title, while Amedeo Bagnis is 11th and Mattia Gaspari 15th in Italy.
CURLING KO
The start of the men's curling tournament is confirmed as difficult for Joel Retornaz and his teammates, with the Azzurri in their second defeat in the round robin in a match that is already very complicated on paper, even more so than yesterday's debut with Great Britain. Edin's Sweden, who won with a score of 9-3 at the eighth end, was too strong: Italy will be back on the ice on Saturday, at 7.05 am Italian time, to challenge the hosts of China.
