On the fourth day of the Olympics, downhill skiing finally resumed with the men’s downhill. After a much-hyped Torino Olympics where Bode Miller came home empty handed, he finally returned to the medal stand with a bronze medal. Switzerland’s Didier Défago won the gold.

In women’s cross-country skiing, Charlotte Kalla won the gold medal in the 10 km individual race for Sweden. The last time a Swedish woman earned a medal in an individual cross-country event was at the 1968 Grenoble games, when Toini Gustafsson won a gold medal in the 10 km classical event (the Swedish team of Lina Andersson and Anna Dahlberg won a gold medal in 2006).

Seth Wescott won a second gold medal in snowboardcross for Team USA, after falling down in the initial qualification run. Since snowboardcross debuted in 2006, this means that the only person to have ever earned a gold medal in men’s snowboardcross is Westcott.

In the two other events where medals were decided, Switzerland took home a gold medal in men’s 15 km cross-country skiing, while South Korea’s Mo Tae-Bum won the gold medal in the men’s 500 m speed skating event.

So far, the United States has won nine medals, while France and Canada both have four. Switzerland, Germany, Korea, Norway, and Italy have each won three medals. The Czech Republic and Japan have each won two medals, and nine other countries have won one medal. My 2010 medals chart has been updated through today’s events.
