It’s a busy day for skiing on Friday, with four medal events on tap for the day. The top event looks to be the men’s super combined event.
As the name implies, the super combined is one event consisting of a downhill run and slalom run. The aggregate time is used to determine the final standings. The men start with the downhill run at 2 a.m. ET and begin the slalom at 6:30 a.m., after which the medals will be handed out. American Bode Miller is competing in this event, and will be hoping to salvage something out of his final Olympic games after a disappointing performance in the downhill run.
The other big medal event of the day is the women’s freestyle aerials. The qualification runs start at 8:45 a.m. and the final runs begin at 12:30 p.m. There will be three different finals runs taking place to determine who gets on the podium.
In other news, there are medal events in cross country and biathlon, along with a men’s qualification run in large hill ski jumping. Here is the complete schedule for Friday (all times are ET, medal events in italics):
