"I was jumping in excitement and it broke," American skier Breezy Johnson said after earning her first gold medal on Sunday. She warned other medalists "Don't jump in them." Johnson is one of several athletes who reported their medals detaching from their ribbon and in one case, breaking in half. At a press briefing on Tuesday, Olympic organizing committee spokesperson Luca Casassa said he was aware that there were issues with some medals. He added that a solution has been identified and encouraged athletes with faulty medals to return them for repair.

As the NHL's Board of Governors convened in Colorado Springs, Colorado, for their annual December meetings, the league was tracking construction updates for the Olympic ice hockey arena in Milan. One issue? Organizers had apparently signed off on a rink that didn't have the correct dimensions. Even more concerning: less than two months away from the tournament, the arena wasn't close to being finished.
