In luge, Darya Olesik will attempt two more runs. She placed 14th after the first two runs, 1.463 seconds behind leader Julia Taubitz of Germany. The medal winners will be decided upon the completion of all four runs.

In men’s singles figure skating, Pyotr Gumennik will perform first. He was forced to change the music for his short program due to copyright issues. The Russian athlete will now perform to "Waltz 1805" by Edgar Hakobyan instead of music from the movie "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer." The free skating event, which will determine the medal winners, is scheduled for February 13.
