Mikaela Shiffrin has won gold in her final 2026 Winter Olympics appearance.
The most decorated Alpine skier of all time, Shiffrin dominated in the slalom, finishing a full 1.50 seconds ahead of her closest competition. It’s sweet redemption for Shiffrin, who hadn’t medaled in her previous eight Olympic starts and experienced PTSD from a scary crash in 2024.
The U.S. men’s hockey team begins the knockout round with a quarterfinal matchup against Sweden. The Swedes defeated Latvia 5-1 to advance. With a roster full of NHL players, U.S. winger Matthew Tkachuk called Sweden “one of the powerhouses in the world,” setting up a big matchup.
