There was another medal for South Tyrol on Olympic Tuesday

The first time on the podium, and then at the Olympics too. For Nadia Delago that should be the case today's race still seem like a dream. The 24-year-old from Wolkenstein surprisingly won the bronze medal in the downhill. She was only defeated by Olympic champion Corinne Suter from Switzerland and silver medalist Sofia Goggia. Nicol Delago, Nadia's sister, finished in a solid 11th place and was her sister's first congratulator.

However, Silvia Bertagna from St. Ulrich made the start Women's slopestyle final at 2.30:XNUMX a.m. (CET). The woman from Val Gardena was after she was in... Big Air competition crashed , seeking redress. But it just wasn't meant to be. So Bertagna couldn't stand a landing on Tuesday either and had nothing to do with the medal decision. Switzerland's Mathilde Gremaud won gold ahead of China's superstar Eileen Gu and Kelly Sildaru from Estonia.

The Italian men's biathlon relay team in Beijing had at best outsider chances. Things looked good for a long time , after the first two runners Thomas Bormolini and Tommaso Giacomel, Lukas Hofer started the race almost at the same time as the third-place runner from Belarus. But of all people, the otherwise reliable Montaler made a mistake when shooting and had to run a penalty lap. The same thing happened to the second South Tyrolean Dominik Windisch, who ultimately reached the finish in 7th place.

Samuel Costa also had a great chance to celebrate his start at the Games in Beijing in the Nordic Combined. The Wolkensteiner landed in 40th place after jumping on Tuesday, but was then able to gain two places on the cross-country ski trail and move up to 2th place. But the big loser was someone else. After 38 weeks of quarantine, top favorite Jarl Magnus Riiber was finally able to fight for a medal and started the cross-country ski run as the leader after a strong performance on the hill. But a momentous one Mishap destroyed his hopes of a medal. Baumgartner not there for the 4th round In the Patrick Baumgartner's Olympic debut In the end it was 21st place. The Issinger couldn't qualify for the 4th run with his pusher Robert Mircea. As in 2018 in Pyeongchang, the German Francesco Friedrich took victory. Silver and bronze also went to Germany with Johannes Lochner and Christoph Hafer. The bobsledders continue on Saturday at 2.30 a.m. (CET) in the first run of the four-man bobsleigh race.
