Despite starting with another loss, the mixed curlers made it through to the QFs by beating South Korea 6-4 so the day started well for Switzerland . Then Nathalie von Siebenthal won an Olympic diploma in cross-country. It's a good result despite the fact that she led most of the race apparently (haven't watched it). I watched the biathlon, it was an interesting race with the wind element. Kudos to Dahlmeier for being perfect with the rifle, quite an impressive performance for the German. Then back to my countrymates as I watched part of the 8-0 victory over Korea in Women's ice hockey . The Korean goalie , despite conceding 8 goals saved 44 shots (!!!) She seems quite talented and I've heard that she's the first Korean to play in the US, no wonder. Shortly after, it was time for one of my favorite winter sports, ski jumping. And what an event it was! Very windy therefore super cold, the conditions were not ideal for the jumpers. I was happy to see both Swiss make it into the final round but then it was a tough one. Simon Amman had to wait about 15 minutes (!!!) before finally being able to jump. Credit to him for giving all he had and almost make the same distance as in the initial round. He ended up 11th but he seemed happy and, knowing the winter he just had and also everything he went through these last few years, it's a decent performance. But THE surprise came with Kamil Stoch not winning a medal!!! After he won all 4 contests of the 4 Hills Tournament, I expected him to sweep these Games but he wasn't at his best. No Polish jumper made it onto the podium. Stunning jump by Wellinger for gold, well deserved!
Looking forward to what Day 2 will bring
