Olympia 2026 – Schedule today: This is what Olympic Day brings

figure skating: German medal chance in pair skating. After the short program on Sunday, Minerva Hase and Nikita Volodin lead, the World Cup runners-up presented a flawless tango performance. Now the duo can continue to hope for great success – and could emulate Aljona Savchenko and Bruno Massot, who won gold in South Korea in 2018. The freestyle starts at 8 p.m. The second German couple Annika Hocke and Robert Kunkel took eleventh place after a good performance without any major mistakes.

bobsleigh: After brilliant toboggan and skeleton competitions from a German perspective, there could now also be the first medals in bobsleigh. In the women’s monobob, the decisive races are three (7 p.m) and four (9:06 p.m). After the first day, Laura Nolte leads. Lisa Buckwitz is in sixth place. In addition, the men’s two-man bobsleigh competition starts with the first two runs (10 O `clock and 11:57 a.m). The three best drivers in the overall World Cup are competing for Germany: Johannes Lochner, Francesco Friedrich and Adam Ammour.

Ski jumping: The classic team competition is history. Instead of the previous four, only two men will compete in these games as a so-called “super team”. Olympic champion Philipp Raimund and Andreas Wellinger are expected to start for Germany. All duos jump off the beam three times each – so overall it’s about the best combined result from six jumps. The first round starts at 7 p.mthe second around 7:43 p.m and the decisive third round 8:20 p.m.

Alpine skiing: Now it’s time for the men’s slalom. There for Germany: Linus Straßer and Alexander Schmid. The first round starts at 10 O `clockthe decisive second follows at 1:30 p.m.

Curling: Two wins, but already three defeats – the German curling men at CC Füssen around skip Marc Muskatewitz are slowly coming under pressure. The sixth group game is about 2:05 p.m against Sweden. If they want to make it to the semi-finals, the team can’t afford another bankruptcy – because for that they need a place in the top four of ten teams in the “everyone against everyone” mode.

Ski Freestyle: One jump, one jump – the Big Air discipline is all about the perfect combination of turns, grips on the board and landing. The women’s final starts at 8:15 p.m. The German Muriel Mohr missed the final in the qualification.

Short track: Next decision for women. Um 12:42 p.m the women contest their final over 1000 meters. Short track is the only sport at these Winter Games in which no German athletes take part.

Transfers on Monday, February 16th: ARD and Eurosport on TV. Sportschau (ARD) and Sportstudio (ZDF) also broadcast numerous individual events in live streams.
