The final day of the Winter Games has arrived, marking Day 16 with a bittersweet atmosphere as the closing ceremony looms later. However, before the festivities conclude, a handful of crucial events remain, offering last chances for medals and thrilling competitions.
Key Medal Events on the Schedule
One of the standout moments today is the delayed women's ski halfpipe final, where Team GB's Zoe Atkin is a strong contender for a medal. Her performance will be closely watched by fans hoping for a podium finish to cap off the Games.
Bobsleigh and Cross-Country Skiing Highlights
In the men's four-man bobsleigh, the final runs are underway, with Germany unsurprisingly leading and holding the silver medal position as well. Brad Hall's British crew currently sits in seventh place, aiming to improve their standing in these concluding heats.
Later, the women's 50km cross-country ski mass start takes center stage, often described as one of the most grueling events of the entire Games. Following Johannes Høsflot Klæbo's sixth gold medal in the men's event yesterday, female athletes will now push themselves uphill on skis for over two hours in a test of endurance and skill.
High-Profile Finals: Ice Hockey and Curling
Another major event concludes with a showstopper final in men's ice hockey, as the USA faces Canada. This matchup is a re-run of last year's feisty Four Nations finale, promising intense action and rivalry on the ice.
In curling, after Canada beat the USA for bronze in the women's event yesterday, the gold medal match is set to start just after midday, featuring Switzerland against Sweden. This adds to the day's excitement with more medal-deciding contests.
With all these events covered, the final day of the Winter Games promises to deliver memorable moments before the closing ceremony brings the competition to an end.
