介绍:
The top story has got to be the United States womens hockey team's brutal loss to Canada in the gold-medal game. The Americans had a 2-0 lead deep into the third period, but the Canadians pushed the final into overtime with two goals in the final 3:26 of regulation time. In overtime, Canada's Marie-Philip Poulin scored the winning shot on a power play. So the Canadians claimed their fourth womens hockey gold, the Americans had to accept second-best, and Switzerland earned their first ever medal in womens ice hockey after defeating Sweden 4-3. In ladies figure skating, it was another last minute surprise win. Russia's Adelina Sotnikova won the first womens figure skating gold for her nation after passing South Korean favorite Kim Yuna by just .28 points in the short program. In womens curling, Canada won gold, after they defeated Sweden 6-3 in the final. Great Britain rallied from their devastating semifinal loss to Canada by beating Switzerland 6-5 and taking the bronze. Britain's skip Eve Muirhead said they had to pick themselves up after that semifinal loss. "We had to. We had to regroup as quick as we could and really change our emotions. And as I said, I think that prove how great athletes we are because we managed to bounce back so I'm super proud of the girls. I think we did a fantastic job. Today was tough, I'm not going to lie, it was probably one of the toughest games of my life so I'm so glad that we managed to come out with that win." And later today in mens curling, Great Britain will take on defending champions Canada in the gold medal match. Up at the slopes, The big event at the Extreme Park was the mens freestyle ski cross. The final came down to three French boarders and Canada's Brady Lehman. The French swept the podium, with Jean Frederic Chapuis taking gold, Arnaud Bovolenta the silver, and Jonathan Midol the bronze. Maddie Bowman of the United States won gold in the womens debut ski halfpipe competition. And Ukrainian skier, Bogdana Matsotska, has withdrawn from the Olympics in protest of the deaths of anti-government demonstrators in her country. The 24 year old skier is refusing to participate in today's slalom event, her third and best event at the winter games. In the latest medal count, Norway leads with 10 golds.
