A chance for biathletes and freestyle anticipation
Today’s program for Ukrainian fans begins with freestyle skiing.
Due to difficult weather conditions in Livigno, the ski acrobatics events were repeatedly postponed, but today Yan Havryuk, Oleksandr Okipniuk, Maksym Kuznetsov, and Dmytro Kotovskyi are finally set to compete on the Olympic slope.
Particular attention is focused on biathlon.
Thanks to their strong results in the pursuit race, where Vitalii Mandzyn and Dmytro Pidruchnyi finished among the top twenty, they earned the right to represent Ukraine in one of the most prestigious disciplines – the mass start.
In the evening, Yelyzaveta Sydorko will take the ice to compete in the women’s 1500-meter short track event.
