It was goose bumps seeing Canada walking out. I haven't seen that in my lifetime. It was surreal. This time around he will again be at home but also very much at the heart of the action in two cities that are dear to him.

We got a bit of an opening from their previous shot, and the coaches saw a possibility. I threw the weight we wanted; the rock ran the way we wanted, and I was just ecstatic to make that shot.

Men's four-person bobsledding made its Olympic debut in Chamonix, France, in 1924; women's two-person bobsledding didn't enter the Games until 2002 in Salt Lake City. Women's monobob arrived in 2022. While the earliest bobsleds were made of wood, the sport has been synonymous with steel for years, although in recent decades it has been replaced by carbon fiber, which provides greater lightness and strength.

No athlete at this level is 100% fully healthy, Gretchen Mohney, the director of medical and performance services for U.S. Figure Skating, told The Associated Press from Milan. It's about managing whatever it is that may be breaking down. The key for Olympic skaters is getting quick treatment. If a knee swells, the back aches or a sharp blade leaves a gash, figure skaters at the Olympics have physicians, athletic trainers and physical therapists to help.

When Salt Lake City hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics, Deer Valley was at the heart of the action - and in 2034 it will once again take centre stage as the venue for freestyle moguls and aerials. Today, guests at The St. Regis Deer Valley can connect directly to that Olympic legacy through an exclusive partnership with the Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation.

At 10 a.m. ET, Canadian Isabelle Weidemann will compete for gold in the 3000-metre speed skating final. Abigail Strate will compete in ski jumping normal hill at 12:45 p.m. ET.

the schoolkid's pink, heart-festooned backpack that Casey Dawson is schlepping around town as punishment for losing at fantasy football. It keeps me humble. It keeps me grounded. It puts a smile on my face every time I see it. It's kind of ridiculous, but it's fun. It keeps everything fun and light-hearted, said Dawson, a 25-year-old from Park City, Utah, whose first event at this Winter Games comes Sunday in the men's 5,000 meters.

It's the last full day of competition at the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Games. There's a pair of big curling games on Team Canada's schedule: the men will play in the gold-medal match at 1:05 p.m. ET and the women are chasing bronze at 8:05 a.m. ET. Canada also has a good chance for another gold medal in men's ski cross. The final race is at 7:10 a.m. ET.

The Canadian men's Olympic hockey team will play for gold after a heart-stopping 3-2 comeback win against Finland in a semifinal matchup that had fans sweating. Canada and the United States battle for gold in men's hockey at 8:10 a.m. ET. The two teams have only faced each other in the Olympic final twice in the years NHLers have taken part. Canada won both times. A big question hangs over today's game: Will Sidney Crosby be in the lineup?

MILAN -- Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid and Canada are rolling into the knockout round at the Olympics as the best team in the tournament. They may have put the top seed out of the Americans' reach. Crosby and McDavid each had a goal and two assists in a clinical, businesslike 10-2 dismantling of France on Sunday, which included Tom Wilson fighting the player who delivered a forearm to Nathan MacKinnon's face.

Curling fans, rejoice! It is only fitting that the one sport played every single day of the Winter Olympics is the one that opens proceedings at Milano Cortina. Dubbed chess on ice, curling may not have the brute force of ice hockey or the airtime of snowboarding, but it is a huge test in precision, patience and handling pressure. Enter mixed doubles, which has its own subplot straight out of a romcom, with husband-and-wife pairings representing Norway, Canada and Switzerland.

Olympic winter sports must be played on snow and ice, according to the Olympic Charter. But could a muddy field of play get its chance at a future Winter Games, even as soon as in the French Alps in 2030 or Salt Lake City in 2034? How about parquet in an indoor hall? Snow volleyball is ready and waiting. Those and other sports
