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.
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.
Shani Davis, Apolo Ohno, and Lindsey Vonn came home with medals for the US today, but none of them were gold.
Bode Miller is back on the medals stand with a bronze, Seth Westcott remains the only man with a gold snowboardcross medal, and a Swedish woman gets gold in an individual cross country event for the first time since 1968.
