Alan Shearer’ to make a cheeky header during his side’s defeat of Latvia in their first game of the 2022 Winter Olympics.Winger Max Friberg was lining up for the Swedes in their Group C encounter with Lativa, with both teams harbouring hopes of winning the gold medal.Friberg was the furthest player forward for Sweden with 11.33 minutes remaining of the second period when the puck was launched forwards.It was too high for the Frölunda HC star to bring down with his stick, despite him being 1.79 metres tall, so he employed a novel method to get the puck back on the ice.After the puck was played forward from deep on Sweden’s left, Friberg jumped up and headed it into the centre of the rink.Unfortunately for Friberg, none of his team-mates were far enough forward to capitalise on his header, with Latvia mopping up easily.While his fellow Swedes were unable to anticipate it, Friberg’s header delighted supporters watching on.And some even compared the 29-year-old to legendary Premier League striker Shearer.How many medals do you think Team GB will win at the Winter Olympics?

Manchester United have reportedly added Luis Enrique to their manager shortlist alongside Mauricio Pochettino and Erik ten Hag.The Spain head coach is believed to have the 'technical credentials' and 'winning track record' that the Red Devils are looking for in their next boss, as per ESPN.And he is the candidate which Cristiano Ronaldo was said to have put forward to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last year.However, Enrique, 51, is now in a World Cup year for his country, so United would have a big job on their hands to convince him to leave before the tournament kicks off in November.The other two men under serious consideration, Pochettino and Ten Hag, look much more likely to move than him.

Beijing Winter Olympics - and caught the whole thing on his helmet camera providing frightening results.The 28-year-old raced in a semi-final that included Canada's Eliot Grondin, Austria's Alessandro Hammerle and Merlin Surget of France - but finished last to miss out on a medal race.Later competing in the small final to determine his ranking among the unsuccessful competitors, Eguibar went up against American Jake Vedder and Tommaso Leoni of Italy as well as Surget again.Wearing a helmet camera in a bid to show those at home what it looks like for the riders, the footage had a different effect after he crashed.With Surget leading and Vedder taking a wide line coming up to a jump, Leoni slipped onto his back directly in front of the unfortunate Eguibar.With his camera still live on the broadcast, the 28-year-old couldn't avoid making contact with his fallen rival before bouncing off the back of Vedder.With the US rider somehow staying upright to chase down Surget, Eguibar did a full 180 before continuing the race to finish in third.Is snowboard cross the best event at the Winter Olympics?
