Finally, finally, finally. Dorothea Wierer wins her first individual medal at the Olympics . In the end it was bronze. The biathlete was just ice cold when shooting and didn't let up on the cross-country ski trail. The Norwegian Marte Olsbu Røiseland won gold in an outstanding manner ahead of Elvira Öberg from Sweden. For Wierer it continues on Sunday at 10 a.m. (CET). It can be assumed that their hunger for medals has not yet been fully satisfied.

For Mikaela Shiffrin, however, the nightmare games continue. At least the American was able to cross the finish line this time and achieved a respectable result with 9th place. However, on the other side of the spectrum, someone could be cheering loudly. Lara Gut-Behrami did it! After two fourth places at the last two Olympic Games she won gold in Beijing . Actually, Gut-Behrami should have fought for this medal with the Italians Federica Brignone and Elena Curtoni, as the Italian speed riders dominated the Super-G season. But in the end they only finished 7th and 10th respectively. The Azzurre hung their heads in disappointment .

However, this competition was dominated by the Swede Niels van der Poel, who set a new world record in the history books with an outstanding time of 12.30,74:XNUMX minutes and won gold.

Emotional things happened during that Medal decisions in the halfpipe . Due to a fall, Shaun White narrowly missed out on a bronze medal. The snowboard legend announced his retirement before the games in Beijing. With him, the sport loses its most important face of all.
