It’s the highest honor bestowed during an Olympic opening ceremony. Every four years, a competitor from the host nation is chosen to light the Olympic cauldron, the climax of the entire ceremony. For the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, the athlete chosen was figure skater Yuna Kim, a hugely popular figure known in South Korea as “Queen Yuna.” On Friday, Kim performed a short skating routine for the crowd before she was handed the torch, with viewers praising Kim for appearing on skates.

The second competitive day of the team tournament of figure skaters at the Olympics in Pyeongchang will begin on Sunday with performances of ice dancers in the short program, where Russia will be represented by Ekaterina Bobrova and Dmitry Solovyov . And then on the ice will come the main Russian hope in the first part of the team competitions - single skater Evgenia Medvedeva, who will try to help the team to catch the intermediate leader, the Canadian team. Performances of dancers in the short program will begin at 10.00 local time. At 11.45, women's contests begin in a short program. Also on this day, with arbitrary programs, sports couples will perform, beginning at 13.40. The first day of the team tournament of figure skaters at the Olympics in Pyeongchang was not as successful for Russians as it was in Sochi four years ago. Then after the performance of Evgeny Plushenko and Tatyana Volosozhar / Maxim Trankova with short programs in men's single and doubles skating, the Russian team took first place with 19 points. Now the Russians have 13 points, which they received thanks to the eighth place of Mikhail Kolyada and the victory of Evgenia Tarasova / Vladimir Morozov. This means that the Russians need to catch up with the Canadians, who have 17 points. But we have to admit that, after the first Sunday discipline, we will not be able to narrow the gap. For Canada, Tessa Virchu / Scott Moir, Olympic champions 2010 and current world champions will perform in short dance, if only they lose to French Gabrielle Papadakis / Guillaume Sizero. But they are not in the team tournament. Therefore, the real task of Catherine Bobrova and Dmitry Solovyov in short dance is to bypass the remaining direct competitors of the Russian team. Of these, it will be relatively easy to deal with only the Japanese, who currently share third-fourth place with Russians. And although the dance duet of Kana Muramoto / Chris Reed recently added and took the third place at the last Championship of four continents, he concedes to Russians in the class. But with Maya and Alex Shibutani, who represent America (14 points), it will be harder to fight.
