Canada's Curling Triumph and Olympic Highlights
In a thrilling showdown on the ice, Brad Jacobs and Team Canada clinched the gold medal in men's curling at the 2026 Winter Olympics, overcoming Great Britain 9-6. This victory marks Jacobs' second Olympic gold and Canada's fifth men's curling title, their first since 2014. Jacobs reflected on the match, acknowledging the early challenges: "We had to weather the storm initially, but I felt confident that we'd turn things around in the later stages-and we did."
For Great Britain's Bruce Mouat, it was another silver, echoing their runner-up finish to Sweden at the Beijing Games. Mouat remains undeterred, expressing his passion for the sport and his team: "I'm not done yet."
Meanwhile, Finland rebounded from a close loss to Canada by defeating Slovakia 6-1 to secure the bronze in men's hockey. This win adds to Finland's impressive Olympic record, including a gold in 2022 when NHL players weren't participating.
As anticipation builds for the USA-Canada men's gold medal hockey game, fans are reminded of the early puck drop at 8:10 a.m. ET.
Klæbo's Historic Feat
Norwegian cross-country skier Johannes Høsflot Klæbo made history by winning his sixth gold medal in a single Winter Olympics. His victory in the men's 50-kilometer race capped off an unparalleled performance, surpassing U.S. speedskater Eric Heiden's record.
Klæbo's dominance echoes his success at last year's World Championships in Trondheim. "It's unbelievable," Klæbo said, overwhelmed by emotions at the finish line.
Stolz Shines in Speedskating
American speedskater Jordan Stolz wrapped up his Olympic journey with a fourth-place finish in the mass start event. Despite missing the podium, Stolz's Games were a triumph, with golds in the 1,000-meter and 500-meter races, and a silver. His three medals are the most by any American at these Games, marking him as a standout star.
Bobsled Brilliance
Kaillie Humphries and Jasmine Jones claimed bronze in the two-woman bobsled, adding to Humphries' impressive medal tally. Competing in her fifth Olympics, Humphries now shares the record for most medals in women's bobsled with teammate Elana Meyers Taylor. Germany's Laura Nolte and Deborah Levi took gold, while their compatriots secured silver.
Team USA's Aerials Victory
The U.S. trio of Kaila Kuhn, Connor Curran, and Christopher Lillis successfully defended their mixed team aerials gold, outperforming Switzerland and China. Lillis, a key member of the 2022 team, delivered a spectacular final jump, sealing the win. Kuhn, motivated by a previous setback, played a crucial role in the team's success.
These Olympic moments continue to captivate and inspire, showcasing the resilience and talent of athletes from around the world.
