Watch Winter Olympic Games 2018 Live Stream Online now. The PyeongChang Olympic Winter Games have already started. Some tests such as Alpine skiing, biathlon or luge have already made the first heats, but the opening ceremony will not be until Friday February 9 at 12.00 local time (4:00 peninsular hour). Perhaps these Games will be one of the most exciting for the different historical events that have already happened.
One of them is that North Korea and South Korea will compete as one country. At the end of January, a score of South Korean skiers went to North Korea to train with North Korean athletes as part of the agreements reached. The arrival of the South Koreans was historic and they took off from the Yangyang airport heading to the North Korean military airfield Kalma.
These Games will have a record of participation. A total of 2,925 athletes from 92 countries have been training for this Olympic event for years and the wait has come to an end. These athletes will have to demonstrate their potential and try to win all possible medals.
In these Games there will be 102 events of 15 different sports such as bobsleigh, cross-country skiing, curling, snowboarding, alpine skiing, biathlon, speed skating, skeleton, among other modalities. Both the opening ceremony and all the tests can be followed by DMAX and Eurosport.
These are some of the figures that will compete in the XXIII edition of the Olympic Winter Games , based in PyeongChang , which will open this Friday in the aforementioned South Korean city:
Marcel Hirscher
Record holder by winning the last six generals of the World Cup of Alpine skiing and leader of this, is, at 28, the great ruler of winter sport king. He has just improved the second historic record of victories in that competition of his countryman Hermann Maier (raising it to 55) and PyeongChang comes for the only title he lacks: the Olympian.
Hirscher aims to improve the silver of Sochi'14 (Russia) in slalom and will not be disgusted by a double as he did last year at the World Cup in St.Moritz (Switzerland), where the giant also won. A season in which a single hundredth forced him to settle for silver in the combined, which will also play in PyeongChang, where on Thursday he participated in the first training for the descent.
Lindsey Vonn
Born in Saint Paul (Minnesota) 33 years ago, but raised in Vail (Colorado), Vonn - who has no more Olympic and world trophies due to the innumerable injuries suffered - arrives in Korea after winning the last two events, the descents of Garmisch (Germany), which has just raised its own record of wins in the Women's World Cup to 81, a competition that it won four times.
In this way, it is placed to shot of five to equal the absolute historical record that holds the Swedish Ingemar Stenmark, 86 times victorious. Very media, it is spectacular inside and outside the tracks . He imitated in a video that enhances his physical resemblance to Sharon Stone the interrogation scene of 'Basic Instinct'; and star golfer Tiger Woods was his boyfriend for a couple of years.
Marit Bjoergen
The most successful woman in the Olympics - with six gold medals, three silvers and a bronze in cross-country skiing - Bjoergen, 37, may be facing her last Games in South Korea, where, however, she will be able to expand her record , with which it equates to medals - although with more titles - to another two long distance runners, the Russian Raisa Smetanina and the Italian Stefania Belmondo.
Without being in his best sports moment - in the World Cup (competition in which nobody equals his 106 victories) he is tenth overall, with less than half the points of the leader, his compatriot Heidi Weng, possibly the great favorite- , just by winning another medal will be the protagonist, since it would improve in the PyeongChang Games his own record.
Javier Fernández
Double world champion (2015-16) and six times (followed) European champion (2013-18), 'SuperJavi' is the main trick of the Spanish team in the PyeongChang Games, in which part among the gold favorites in skating artistic.
The 26-year-old Madrid-born champion wants to take off at Gangneung, the venue for figure skating at the PyeongChang Games, the backbone of the past Games, those at Sochi, where a miscalculation - announcing a quad and running a triple Salchow - He took it off the podium, to finish in fourth place.
The perfectionist of Cuatro Vientos looks for fate to return him in South Korea what he took away in Russia, where he won the Japanese Yuzuru Hanyu, with whom he shares training track and technician, the Canadian Brian Orser.
The event that will take place from 9 to 25 February. The inauguration will be this Friday, February 9, beginning the live broadcast at 6 am Eastern Time.
