"Moment of the day: Every Games needs its first gold medal winner, and Switzerland's Franjo von Allmen provided that moment in Milan, winning in men's downhill in what was the 24-year-old's first Olympic race. Day 2: Moment of the day: Breezy Johnson got the U.S. off the mark on the gold medal table on the Games' second day, providing a small lift for Team USA to cap off a downhill event that had been dampened by Lindsey Vonn's brutal crash earlier in the day."
"Day 5: Moment of the day: Jordan Stolz, 21, entered Milan as a contender in four different speedskating disciplines, and he got his Games off to a fittingly impressive start in the 1000 meters -- setting an Olympic record in a gold medal-winning performance. Day 6: Moment of the day: Chloe Kim entered Milan having won back-to-back gold medals in women's halfpipe but saw her bid for a three-peat upended by an unlikely suspect: Choi Gaon, a 17-year-old from South Korea."
