The women's ski cross event, the women's combined slalom and the free program of Russian skater Kalila Valieva are on the program of the Olympic Games this Thursday morning.


Alpine skiing, women's combined slalom (7h).

After the descent at 3:30 a.m., the slalom will decide the outcome of the combined event that the American Mikaela Shiffrin was aiming for, at the start of the descent, to soften the disappointment of the failed individual events.

Women's ski cross (7h).

Sweden's Sandra Naeslund, World Cup leader, 2021 world champion, winner of 9 of the 10 World Cup rounds this season will wear the favorite sign.

An intense event (launched with the table of the 8th finals) in which the French Jade Grillet-Aubert and Alizée Baron will participate.

Nordic combined (large hill) by team (ski jumping at 9 a.m.; cross-country skiing at 12 p.m.).

The Norwegian Jarl Magnus Riiber, unhappy in Beijing (tested positive for Covid on his arrival in China, he spent thirteen days in solitary confinement and missed the small hill; before being the victim of a course error on the large hill ) will leave Beijing without a medal.

He will not be at the start of the team event.

The Norwegian team will be led by Joergen Graabak, Olympic champion on the large hill and Olympic vice-champion on the normal hill.

Women's 1,000m speed skating (9:30 a.m.).

The Dutch Ireen Wüst (35), gold medalist in the 1,500m, bronze in the women's team pursuit became the first to win gold in 5 different editions of the Games.

She completes her program with the 1,000 m, she who has 13 Olympic medals, with ambition.

Figure skating, women's individual event, free program (11h08).

Escorted and encumbered by the resounding doping affair that will drag on after the Games, the Russian Kalila Valieva (15) has, in the center of attention, managed to complete the short program in the lead.

Before the free program, she is ahead of her compatriots Anna Shcherbakova and Alexandra Trusova and the Japanese Kaori Sakamoto.
