The Azzurri miss the podium in the men's downhill at the Beijing Winter Olympics. Yesterday the races were postponed due to the strong wind, today the first Olympic medal of the alpine skiing program is the Swiss Beat Feuz who wins gold. The blue Dominik Paris has to settle for sixth place.

Meanwhile Italcurling also bends Canada (8-7 in the extra end) and closes the first phase of the tournament unbeaten with a series of 9 victories over as many matches: the mixed couple Stefania Constantini - Amos Mosaner proceeds with full sail towards the semifinals , finding again the dreaded Sweden, already overcome by 12-8.

Fifth place instead for the Italian Emiliano Lauzi in the men's slopestyle snowboard final: gold went to the Canadian Max Parrot, on the top step of the podium after the silver conquered in PyeongChang and above all after defeating a lymphatic system tumor discovered right after the Korean Games. The podium was completed by the silver of the very young Chinese Su Yiming and the bronze of the other Canadian, Mark McMorris.
