Milan Cortina Day 13

Day 13- Thursday February 20th

Curling- A mixed day for the GB squads as the morning session saw results favour the Men who benefitted in reaching the semi finals and then they sealed a superb 8-5 win over Switzerland to guarantee a medal and face Canada for Gold on Saturday. 

The Women did what they needed to do in securing a 7-4 win against Italy but sadly missed out on the semi finals as they required USA to lose which would have qualified GB via H2H/Drop challenge but a 7-6 win for USA over Switzerland was the outcome.

Ski Mountaineering Women's Sprint saw a frantic race with Marianne Fatton (SUI) winning by 2.38s ahead of Emily Harrop (FRA) while Ana Alonso Rodriguez (ESP) finished 10.45s off the lead. The Men's Sprint saw Oriol Cardona Coll (ESP) win by 1.52s over Nikita Filppov (AIN) with Thibault Anselmet (FRA) rounding off the medals.

Nordic Combined Team Sprint featured a close finish with Norway winning by just 0.5s ahead of Finland while Austria finished 22.3s off the lead. 

An OLYMPIC RECORD time of 1:41.98 for Zhongyan Ning (CHN) in Speed Skating Men's 1500m ahead of Jordan Stolz (USA) (1:42.75) and Kjeld Nuis (NED) (1:42.82).
