The Olympic highlights on Friday, February 23, 2018

Pyeongchang (SID) After the world champion, the record Olympic champion is waiting for the German national ice hockey team. A win against the Canadians in the semi-finals would be equivalent to winning their third Olympic medal after bronze in 1932 and 1976. So far, Germany has lost all twelve duels with the players from the ice hockey motherland at the Olympics, but without the stars from the North American professional league NHL The chances of a coup like the one against world champions Sweden are better than ever. After the disappointing eighth place in the women's relay, the men want to give the German biathletes a successful end to the Winter Games. Erik Lesser, Benedikt Doll, Arnd Peiffer and Simon Schempp are among the medal contenders in the 4x7,5 km, the biggest opponents for the precious metal are Norway and France. Both Peiffer, Doll and Schempp have already been decorated with individual medals from Pyeongchang. Nico Ihle is supposed to prevent the next medalless Winter Games for German speed skaters. The man from Chemnitz belongs to the extended circle of candidates for precious metals over 1000 m. But the competition is fierce: The only way to get to the podium is through 500 m Olympic champion Havard Lorentzen from Norway and the strong Dutch team around Kjeld Nuis, who had already triumphed over 1500 m.
