Eleventh in the monobob, Margot Boch lined up in the two-man bobsleigh with Carla Sénéchal who told AFP about her bobsleigh debut: “

A first descent is not forgotten!

You can ask anyone!

Impossible to imagine what will happen before going down: we think it's an attraction, it has nothing to do with it!

It's just like a dishcloth in a washing machine.

It shakes in all directions, it knocks everywhere.

And we also take the pressure, the Gs, like in Formula 1, and that's just unique.

It's true that the first descent is not necessarily appreciated...

"

Curling, women's semi-finals (1:05 ​​p.m.).

Switzerland, who finished at the top of the standings (8 wins-1 loss), will face Japan (5-4), fourth in the standings, in the semi-finals;

Sweden (7-2) will meet Great Britain (5-4).

The Canadians left the competition before the semi-finals for the second consecutive time.

Ice hockey, 2nd semi-finals of the men's tournament (2:10 p.m.).

Defending champions Russia (who defeated Denmark 3-1 in the quarter-finals) meet Sweden (victory over Canada 2-0) for a place in the final.

The Swedes, Olympic champions in 1994 and 2006, have since won only a silver medal in 2014, at the Sochi Olympics.
