Day 4 of the Olympics provided more golden glory for China, with teen sensation Eileen Gu taking home her first Winter Olympics title in freestyle skiing big air. Now it’s time for Hong Kong to make its bow in Beijing, with skier Audrey King making her Olympic debut in the slalom on Wednesday. Elsewhere, US snowboarding legend Shaun White – who has announced he will retire after these Games – will be hoping for one final hurrah in the half-pipe. You can also expect some fierce competition in the men’s short-track speedskating as Hungary return in the 1,500 metres event looking to one up China, who took home gold in the 1,000m on Monday night. Here are five things to look out for on Day 5 of the 2022 Beijing Olympics. Hong Kong joins the fray Hong Kong skier Audrey King has already fought so hard just to make it to the start line of the women’s slalom event. The 19-year-old made it through four days of quarantine after testing positive for Covid-19 upon landing in Beijing, just 10 days before her event. She was also injured while preparing for her attempt at Olympic qualification, having to rest for three weeks during the season and undergo MRI scans. Now, 14 years on from the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics, King is returning to the Chinese capital for the Games – this time as a representative of Hong Kong, rather than a spectator. King will be performing her two slalom runs at 10.15am and 1.45pm local time. China hopes for back-to-back gold The men’s short-track speedskating 1,500m quarter-finals begin at 7.00pm, and the final is expected to start at 9.13pm. If Monday’s event was anything to go by, we can expect plenty more thrills and spills, not only in the finals but also the qualifying events. China’s Sun Long, Ren Ziwei and Zhang Tianyi will be hoping for a repeat of Monday’s performance in the 1,000m event, when all three skaters made it to the finals. They will have to outdo Hungary’s Liu brothers, who will have something to prove. Liu Shaoang had to settle for bronze in the 1,000m, with China’s Ren taking gold after original winner Liu Shaolin was disqualified. Snowboard legend White’s final run It’s one of the most hotly anticipated events at the Winter Olympics, which produces some of the biggest jumps – and also the biggest wipeouts. In the half-pipe, snowboarders race along a U-shaped ramp, similar to skateboarding, and propel themselves into the air with a flurry of tricks before landing and continuing down the pipe. The men’s event will kick off with the quarter-finals at 12.30pm, with the five-time Olympian and three-time Olympic gold medallist Shaun White a front runner. White announced he will retire from competition after the Beijing Games, so we can expect the 35-year-old American will be pulling out all the stops. China’s debut in Nordic combined Nordic combined is a sport that combines cross-country skiing and ski jumping, with athletes required to perform a jump on the normal hill, followed by a 10-kilometre ski. Zhao Jiawen will be the first Chinese athlete to compete in the event at the Winter Games. Zhao qualified after finishing 22nd at the Continental Cup in November last year, and was one of the two final torch-bearers at the opening ceremony who lit the Olympic flame. The Nordic combined competition round will kick off at 4.00pm. Hosts face another fight on the ice China’s men’s curling team will be up against it when they face off against Sweden, the world’s top ranked team. The match follows Tuesday’s thrilling mixed doubles gold medal match, where the undefeated Italians continued their incredible winning streak, beating Norway 8-5.
