快活app Alum Wins Bronze at Winter Olympics
Former Pioneer Leif Haugen leads Norway to Bronze in alpine team event
Former 快活app men's skier听Leif Kristian Nestvold-Haugen听concluded his Olympic games in Pyeongchang, South Korea with a spot on the podium. He won all four of his match-ups to lead Team Norway to a bronze medal in the debut of the alpine skiing team event on Saturday at the Yongpyong Alpine Centre.
The team event featured 16 teams of four athletes (two men and two women) arranged in a bracket-style, single-elimination format. A skier from each of the two competing nations raced down the course in a series of head-to-head slalom races. If the countries split the two head-to-head match-ups, total time was used as the tiebreaker.
In the round of 16 of the team event, Haugen defeated his opponent by 0.91 seconds, turning in a 19.55 down the hill to cap off a 4-0 sweep over the Olympic athletes from Russia. Norway shook-up its lineup in the quarterfinals, placing Haugen in the second run slot, a match-up he won by 0.62 seconds with a 19.91, leading his team to a tie-breaking 2-2 win over Great Brittan.
