The International Skating Union is standing by a French judge for his scoring that denied the U.S. a gold medal at the Olympics

Now, the U.S. turns its focus on achieving the ultimate goal, winning the gold medal for a third time in women’s hockey, and the first since 2018. The team has made it to the semifinals in each of the first seven Olympic tournaments.

Team USA already has two figure skating medals in the bag at the 2026 Winter Olympics. At least one more medal will be earned by the Americans through Ilia Malinin in the men's singles event. A fourth medal is very likely in the women's singles, but which skater or skaters reach the podium is unknown.

Mixed doubles duo Cory Thiesse and Korey Dropkin have taken the U.S. further than ever before. Here's how to watch their gold-medal game.

MILAN (AP) — Handle with care. That's the message from gold medalist Breezy Johnson at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics after she and other athletes found their medals broke within hours. Olympic organizers are investigating with “maximum attention” after a spate of medals have fallen off their ribbons during celebrations on the opening weekend of the Games.

Breezy Johnson became the second American woman ever to win the Olympic gold medal in downhill skiing Sunday, hours after the first person to accomplish the feat, Lindsey Vonn, crashed violently on the famed Tofane course.

A downhill skier earned the United States’ first gold medal of the 2026 Winter Olympics. Breezy Johnson won the women’s Olympic downhill race in Cortina. It’s also the first gold medal of her career.
