2026 Winter Olympics round-up: How the Americans fared in the opening days of the Games | amNewYork
"Team USA won 40 gold medals at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, en route to 126 total medals. Stephen Curry (basketball), Simone Biles (gymnastics), and A'ja Wilson (women's basketball) were among the top competitors to represent America. Fast forward two years, and Chloe Kim (snowboarding), Ilia Malinin (figure skating), and Jack Hughes (hockey) will look to lead Team USA back to the top of the podium at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics."
"Lindsey Vonn entered the women's downhill race looking to defy the odds after sustaining a torn ACL, among other injuries, earlier in the week. But her run came to a grinding halt when she clipped a race gate and twisted around until losing her balance. The 41-year-old Vonn fell down the Alpine Skiing Center's snow and tumbled until coming to a complete stop. After the crowd went completely silent, she was taken into a helicopter and airlifted to a medical center."
