女子曲棍球决赛:加拿大击败美国

The top story has got to be the United States women's hockey team's brutal loss to Canada in the gold-medal game.

The Americans had a 2-0 lead deep into the third period, but the Canadians pushed the final into overtime with two goals in the final 3:26 of regulation time.

In overtime, Canada's Marie-Philip Poulin scored the winning shot on a power play.

So the Canadians claimed their fourth women's hockey gold, the Americans had to accept second-best, and Switzerland earned their first ever medal in women's ice hockey after defeating Sweden 4-3.

In ladies figure skating, it was another last minute surprise win. Russia's Adelina Sotnikova won the first women's figure skating gold for her nation after passing South Korean favorite Kim Yuna by just 28 points in the short program.

In women's curling,

Canada won gold, after they defeated Sweden 6-3 in the final.

Great Britain rallied from their devastating semifinal loss to Canada by beating Switzerland 6-5 and taking the bronze.

Britain's skip Eve Muirhead said they had to pick themselves up after that semifinal loss.

"We had to. We had to regroup as quick as we could and really change our emotions. And as I said, I think that prove how great athletes we are because we managed to bounce back so I'm super proud of the girls. I think we did a fantastic job. Today was tough, I'm not going to lie, it was probably one of the toughest games of my life so I'm so glad that we managed to come out with that win."

And later today in men's curling, Great Britain will take on defending champions Canada in the gold medal match.

Up at the slopes,

The big event at the Extreme Park was the men's freestyle ski cross.

The final came down to three French boarders and Canada's Brady Lehman. The French swept the podium, with Jean Frederic Chapuis taking gold, Arnaud Bovolenta the silver, and Jonathan Midol the bronze.

Maddie Bowman of the United States won gold in the women's debut ski half pipe competition.

And Ukrainian skier, Bogdana Matsotska, has withdrawn from the Olympics in protest of the deaths of anti-government demonstrators in her country.

The 24 year old skier is refusing to participate in today's slalom event, her third and best event at the winter games.

In the latest medal count, Norway leads with 10 golds.
