Russia today has four Beijing 2022 medals. But, alas, not a single gold one. “Alas” refers rather to the men’s team sprint for men, where the Russian duet, considered the favorite, was waiting for a drama in the semi-final with a fall, the need to catch up and expend strength, which, perhaps, was not enough for the final victory.
Ski race. Team sprint. Men
1. Norway (Valnes, Klebo), 2. Finland (Niskanen, Mäki), 3. Russia (Bolshunov, Terentiev).

1. Qi Guangpu (China), 2. Alexander Abramenko (Ukraine), 3. Ilya Burov Russia).

And, finally (or rather, this event “from the very beginning”, from the very morning), the Russian hockey team, which so far cannot be called a “red car”, beat the Danes 3:1 and demonstrated, if not a good, then a peppy game. Russia, the winner of the last Olympics, reached the semi-finals.
The semi-finalists at this point were Finland, which tore Switzerland to pieces – 5: 1, Slovakia, which beat the United States in shootouts. The Swedes and Canadians competed for the fourth place. Tre Krunur won – 2:0, and now they will become rivals of the Russians.
Finnish hockey players won bronze medals after beating the Swiss 4:0.
Norway leads the team standings with 13 gold medals, and in total the Vikings have more than anyone else – 28. The Russians have 24 of them, but there are four gold medals. And according to this indicator, ours are only ninth.
