Legendary USA skier Lindsey Vonn crashed out of the downhill event, getting airlifted out and receiving multiple surgeries. Teammate Breezy Johnson won gold, which promptly broke (a recurring theme at these games as it was in Paris two years ago). The medal was promptly replaced.

USA beats Canada in OT to win first hockey gold since 1980 'Miracle on Ice'

Forty-six years to the day after a bunch of unheralded amateurs stunned the heavily favored Soviet Union en route to winning Olympic gold, the U.S. men’s hockey team engineered another epic victory. The Americans won a battle of the sport’s superpowers on Sunday, toppling longtime nemesis Canada 2-1 in overtime to win their country’s first Olympic gold in men’s hockey since the famed 1980 “Miracle on Ice.”
...
The Americans forced overtime only because Connor Hellebuyck withstood target practice from Canada’s all-world forward corps. Hellebuyck made incredible save after incredible save against constant Canadian pressure, turning away 41 of the 42 shots he faced.

Congrats to the women that won 2/3 of the gold medals!!!

And to the women's hockey team that has in a few short olympiads won more Golds than the boy's teams have ever

I never understand the need to pit the women versus the men in these instances. Why the need to be divisive over something that isn't begging for divisiveness. The USA has always been at the forefront, and continues to be, in terms of funding and allowance for girls and women to be able to play sports. It's a huge accomplishment for our country to be pretty much, by a large margin, the leader in terms of giving these opportunities to girls and then women. It really sets us apart from the vast majority of the world. We should celebrate that, not take that and try to compare the women's accomplishments with the men's accomplishments. It should be a "yay" moment for America.
