Olympia 2018: Curler present: Competitions of the Winter Olympics launched

One day before the official opening ceremony, the first competitions have begun at the Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang.

On Thursday morning (local time) the program started with four mixed curling games. Amongst others, a team of Olympic athletes from Russia lost 3:9 against the USA.

In South Korea, there is a waiting time of up to 25. In February, 102 decisions were taken. In addition to the curlers, the ski jumpers for the German medal hopefuls Richard Freitag and Andreas Wellinger will start on Thursday with the qualification for the competition on the normal hill.

After the doping scandal at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia will only be allowed to start in Pyeongchang with a neutral-flagged team,”I’m sure they’re a bit disappointed. But this is life. You must take what you are given. At least they are at the Olympic Games,”said US curler Matt Hamilton.

Due to ongoing disputes before the CAS International Sports Court, it was still unclear at the start of the competitions how many Russian athletes are allowed to compete in South Korea.
