Celebrating the 11th day of the
2018 Winter Olympics
in Pyeongchang, South Korea, today’s Google Doodle is more of a celebration of the games in general. Google does usually pick a sport of choice every day as part of its
Doodle Snow Games
series but decided to settle for a generic animated strip today. [caption id=“attachment_4357255” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]

blog page
, but going by what we can see in the doodle, it does borrow elements from a number of events taking place on Day 10 at Pyeongchang. These include speed skating, bobsleigh, ski jumping as well as snowboarding. In the Doodle we see an insect carry a giant snowball uphill and then starts running as it lets go of the snowball. The insect skates through the icy patch with the snowball catching up. Just as the insect approaches the finish-line, the ball finally catches up with the insect and rolls over it across the finish line. The Google Doodle series celebrated
cross-country skiing
on day 10 and the
spirit of ice hockey
on the ninth day of the 2018 Winter Olympics. Google is expected to showcase 17 doodles in total as part of Google Snow Games. Today’s doodle is spread across major parts of North America, a few countries in South America, all of Europe and Australia and also parts of East and South-East Asia.
