last shreds with the fire of Olympia and the last (almost) hope for our flagship. Slalom, cross-country skiers and snowboarders to save the situation. At 19.00 the first round of the men's slalom, what was the most anticipated event of the entire Olympics for the colors of Italy with Giorgio Rocca forking disappointed that in the first round. Four years later, the expectations placed on our specialists articulated the stakes are much lower and who knows that this did not help. The reduced slope of the runway and the plane along the central part of the track seem fertile ground for Razzoli Giuliano (pictured), heir to the "tradition" Emilian between the doors close so fueled by Alberto Tomba. The "Rocket" bib number 13, hoping to bring good. With the track in race number 8 Manfred Moelgg, on a track less suited to its characteristics and an excellent run of form in the test seemed not giant. Encouraging signs were launched by a few strokes skied in the super combined slalom. Patrick Thaler and hopes very small Christian Deville, this year, far from their best results. The big favorite is the Austrian Reinfried Herbst, who will try to climb one step higher than silver in Turin. In the group of eligible candidates to the medals are having to enter the other Austrian Hirscher, Raich and Prenger, Croatian Kostelic, French and German Lizeroux Neureutheur. But the slalom specialty has always been able to give surprises and Ligety Janyk two possible outsider luxury. Second heat at 22.45.
last effort for the women's fund, and that hard work: the 30 km classic technique race that is unforgiving, especially if addressed at a high pace on a track as hard as the Olympic Park. The issue of race seems to be yet another round in the duel between Justyna Kowalczyk and Marit Bjorgen : the first is looking for their first Olympic-bay that she had come favored in almost all the individual races, the second is looking for the fourth gold in the same edition of the games, she had arrived in Vancouver with a taboo to be discredited Olympic ... add spice to duel to the statements of Polish Bjorgen accused of making use of an anti-asthmatic "suspect." A third wheel will try to make the Smigun of Estonia, the Finnish Saarinen, the Ukrainian Shevchenko, always formidable in long distance, as well as our Marianna Longa who will try to prevent the zero medals in the pink background. With her will not be Arianna Follis, who has decided to prematurely close its Olympic Games, but will Antonella Confortola and Sabina Valbusa. Meet at 20.45.
A Cypress Mountain, men's parallel giant-and talk about snowboarding. Three are blue in the race Rolly Fischnaller , Aaron March and Meinhard Erlacher. Hopes, albeit reduced, only the first that can claim some experience in big competitions. March is young boy who returns to Sochi for the most important goals. In the fight for gold, the Austrians Benjamin Karl and Andreas Prommegger dominated the Cup season, will try to spoil the party of the landlords JJ Anderson - probably the No. 1 favorite - and Michael Lambert. Canadians can count on Matthew Morison, though not in his best season. Spearheads of the French team are sailed Mathieu Bozzetto and vice-world champion 2007 Sylvain Dufour. Hopes for a podium Slovenian Rok Flander, and will present only the eldest Swiss Scoca, Simon. Qualifiers at 19.00 from 21.15 with the final knockout to 22:31.
Olympic Oval in the last scene of another disappointment in long track skating blue: eliminated the team of the pursuit, the adventure is over for our Canadian skaters. A play for gold in the pursuit will be the Canadian team of Danny Morrison and the American Chad Hedrick, both seemed to "teams" real. For the bronze will give the Netherlands and Norway. End by 21:51.
the same women's race is still not a final step before the final: Japan-Poland and Germany -finals where the U.S. has been ruled off the Canadian team. Favored, the German team of Beckert, Freisinger and Anschutz. Semi-finals at 21.30, the final 22:13. At the Whistler Sliding Centre
last two rounds of the bob 4. In a single elimination race with six-tipping in the first two rounds of guide-USA1 Steven Holcomb, who printed two consecutive track record falling below 51 ". Behind him, the Canadian Lyndon Rush, ribaltatosi in 2-man bobsleigh medals while he was in the area, which will attempt to recover what was lost in the first race. Only one third Germany's Andre Lange sees him leave town a bob bob more than 2 to 4 in the same edition of the games in Turin riuscitogli. Tenth crew blue Simone Bertazzo. Third round to 22.00 to 23.40 will drop the curtain on the Olympic gut.
for the final day of team sports. In the men's curling Canada will try to succeed where the female colleagues have failed. 24.00-to-final against the formidable Norway has also gathered a lot of sympathy because of bizarre chromatic dell'arlecchinesca seal of the Scandinavians. Will compete for the bronze Sweden, Switzerland from 18. Final for the bronze-waiting for tomorrow's grand final between Canada and the United States-even in hockey: Slovakia and Finland the pretenders to the third step of the podium, siren starts at 4.00. Good
Olympics
