Overview
- Four marquee finals are set for today: women’s downhill (11:30), biathlon mixed relay (14:05), snowboard Parallel‑Riesenslalom finals (14:26/14:36) and the concluding men’s luge runs this evening.
- Germany’s Max Langenhan holds the luge lead after two runs by 0.162 seconds over Austria’s Jonas Müller, with Felix Loch eighth and 0.919 seconds back.
- Lindsey Vonn trained strongly and intends to start the downhill despite a reported ACL tear, with Germany’s Emma Aicher and Kira Weidle‑Winkelmann also viewed as contenders.
- Returning from a September ankle fracture, Germany’s Ramona Hofmeister enters the Parallel‑Riesenslalom among the favorites, alongside men’s hopefuls Stefan Baumeister and Elias Huber.
- Luge great Georg Hackl was taken to hospital after a fall at the Cortina track, as separate developments include protest clashes in Milan and investigators examining rail damage at three northern sites with anti‑terror units involved.
