Most of the Olympic events concluded today; the men’s 50 km cross country skiing race, men’s ice hockey final, and closing ceremony are all that is left.
Lindsey Vonn is one of the best alpine skiers in the world right now. She won her first gold medal in the downhill race, after badly bruising her shin.
On day 12 of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, the US won its first nordic combined medal ever; women’s ski cross made its debut without any US entrants.
Lindsey Vonn crashes and doesn’t get a second gold (today at least), but Julia Mancuso does get a second silver. Evan Lysacek wins figure skating gold, while Hannah Teter and Kelly Clark win half pipe silver and bronze.
Ski jumping – normal hill, men’s 5000m speed skating, and women’s 7.5 km biathlon occurred early on in the day.
