The German athletes started the Olympic Games with outstanding medals.

What the weekend and next week could bring - the prognosis.

Munich – Seven (!) gold medals in the first seven days, plus four silver medals – thanks to the ice channel, the German team had a perfect start to the Olympic Games.

You can read in the forecast whether things will continue this way over the weekend (schedule) and what the medal chances are in the second week.

Bob: The gold medal only via Francesco Friedrich

Gold candidates:

In the two-man (February 15) and four-man bobsleigh (February 20) the gold medal goes only to Francesco Friedrich.

He doesn't see the tricky turn 13 as the "mega problem.

The executioner is more like all twelve corners ahead”.

Laura Nolte and Kim Kalicki are also hot gold candidates in the two (19.2.).

Worst competitor: Elana Meyers Taylor, who has recovered from Corona.

In the monobob debut (February 14), the women are in the extended circle of medals.

In Nordic combined, Vinzenz Geiger is capable of anything after his feat on the large hill (February 15), regardless of whether Jarl Riiber gets out of the Corona quarantine in time.

The team (February 17) also has the best chances.


Skeletonis are on course - there are German medal chances here

Chances for a medal:

Skeletonis Hannah Neise (2nd), Tina Hermann (3rd) and Jacqueline Lölling (5th) are on course.

"I hope I keep my nerves," said Neise.

Hermann says: "If I hit the roundabout and the 13 correctly, then everything is still possible." The decision will be made on Saturday.

The biathletes also still have a lot of chances with the men's sprint (Saturday), the pursuits (Sunday) and the mass starts (February 18 and 19).

Denise Herrmann and Benedikt Doll are the most likely, with luck Johannes Kühn in the sprint.


Alex Schmid in the giant slalom (Sunday), Kira Weidle in the downhill (15.2.), Linus Straßer in the slalom (16.2.) and the team (19.2.) can make it onto the podium.

However, the fate of Lena-Dürr (a wafer-thin fourth) can also overtake them.


Ski jumper Karl Geiger, top favorite for gold before the games, is suddenly far away from the podium. Markus Eisenbichler is most likely to be able to do something on the large hill (Saturday).

"I'm on the right track, it's more fun again," said the Bavarian, who already has the team competition (14.2.) in mind.

"That's what counts.

We want to fight for the medals.” Maybe then we can finally celebrate.

Karl Geiger's ("one blunts") was not watered.

Eisenbichler confirmed: "Halli-Galli-Drecksau-Party we haven't had for a long time - unfortunately." But at least: "I became an uncle on Monday.

That's worth a lot more than getting gold here.

The heir is secured for our family.”

The snowboard division has so far lagged behind its medal opportunities

Outsider:

Freestyle snowboarder Annika Morgan was already third in the World Cup.

On a dream day, the Big Air (February 15) has something in it.

The same applies to ski crosser Florian Wilmsmann (February 18) and the biathlon relays (February 15 and 16).

The cross-country relays (February 16) are also hoping, but it's not realistic.

Disappointments:

The snowboard division has so far fallen short of its medal opportunities at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Maybe Martin Nörl and Jana Fischer can still save the balance on Saturday in mixed.

The ice hockey team (“We want gold”) also has to improve after the bitter opening defeat.
