"Team USA men's hockey broke a 46-year drought when they won gold over Canada to help close out the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina on Sunday. Their overtime triumph came just three days after the women's hockey team downed Canada to win gold, also in overtime. Their respective successes put the finishing touches on an Olympic run in which the Americans won 12 gold medals, with Alysa Liu (figure skating) and Elaina Meyers Taylor (women's monobob) winning three of them."
"Team USA women's hockey faced an early deficit when Canada scored a second-period goal during the tournament final. There was no response for nearly the entire subsequent period, until Hilary Knight tied the contest with 2:05 remaining in regulation. Her heroic goal meant this game would be won in overtime, where Megan Keller took the puck down to the net for the golden goal. The women wore gold around their necks for the first time since 2018, after taking home silver in 2022."

Alysa Liu won the women's single figure skating gold, and Elaina Meyers Taylor contributed to the medal haul.
