AUTOR:Benedikt Langer<\/span>Zum Profil \u203a\u203a<\/a><\/span><\/em>The Olympics have their own rules. Above all special conditions. Like the DFB Cup in soccer, it is not unusual for the big favorites to fail at the Olympics. In this article, we’ll tell you what’s made the headlines at the Olympics so far. <\/strong>The first week of the Olympic Games is over and it’s time to take a look at the highlights. One thing we can promise you – there were many tears of joy, but also tears of disappointment. But as always, sport tells the best stories.<\/p>\n

The greatest surprises<\/h2>\n

Already from day 1, the Olympic Games did not fail to entertain the spectators. Australia was able to celebrate one of the first gold medals. In freestyle skiing, Jakara Anthony secured the country’s first medal in Beijing. The Swedish speed skating star Nils van der Poel was responsible for possibly the most beautiful Olympic story. The 25-year-old beat his Dutch opponent in the 5000m. He dedicated his gold medal to a very special person: a mother who died of cancer.From a German perspective, Denise Herrmann and Vinzenz Geiger caused the hearts of German winter sports fans to beat faster. Only a few would have expected a gold medal for biathlete Denise Herrmann. While Denise Herrmann is rather behind the favorites in the World Cup. She proved her world class in the 15 kilometer race.In contrast, Nordic combined athlete Vinzenz Geiger was considered as the favorite in his discipline even before the Olympics. Especially the retirement of his Norwegian competitor Jarl Magnus Riber increased his chances for an Olympic medal. Despite a bad ranking after the jumping. Geiger fought his way up from 11th place to first place.<\/p>\n
