Sweden are undaunted ahead of a blockbuster quarter-final meeting with the United States on Wednesday, as the team wearing the three crowns grasps for more gold in an Olympic men's ice hockey showdown...

Canada has defeated Switzerland 2-1 in the women’s hockey semifinal at the Milan Cortina Olympics to set up a gold-medal rematch with the United States on Thursday.

Sweden enters this elimination matchup after a strong preliminary round, scoring multiple goals in each win and finishing with a 2-1-0 record, including victories over Italy and Slovakia.

Twelve years ago, under a black night sky in the Caucasas Mountains north of Sochi, Russia, 18-year-old American Mikaela Shiffrin skied to a gold medal in the Olympic slalom.

Mikaela Shiffrin, the most successful racer in Alpine skiing history, ended her Olympic medal drought in spectacular fashion Wednesday, winning gold in women's slalom at the Milan-Cortina Games.

It is Shiffrin's second gold in the Olympic slalom and third overall, tying her with snowboarder Shaun White and bobsledder Kaillie Humphries for second-most golds by a U.S. Winter Olympian.

Just eight teams are still standing in the quest to capture the Olympics men’s hockey gold medal.

And then there were eight.
