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.
Friday was a day for final races. Apolo Ohno won the team bronze in what might be his last Olympic race, while Sarah Schleper raced in the slalom.
Today was a history making day for the US, with no US figure skating winner for the ladies competition since 1964, but the first nordic combined gold ever.
Upsets occur as aerialists fall, skaters are disqualified, and skiers crash.
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.
The ice dancing competition concluded today, as did the team large hill and the cross country sprint.
Bode Miller won his first gold medal in the Super Combined event today. Ski cross made its debut, and the ice dancers completed their second day of competition.
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.
