So, get this: Norway and Germany? Not a single medal between them today. Canada wouldn've been shut out except for the final medal event of the night. Meanwhile, with a single silver medal, the United States pulled into a tie for first with Norway; each country has exactly the same medal count across the board. Your top six:
| COUNTRY | G | S | B | TOTAL |
| Norway | 4 | 3 | 6 | 13 |
| United States | 4 | 3 | 6 | 13 |
| Netherlands | 4 | 3 | 5 | 12 |
| Russia | 2 | 5 | 5 | 12 |
| Canada | 4 | 5 | 2 | 11 |
| Germany | 7 | 2 | 1 | 10 |

Ice Hockey:
| MEN'S GROUP C | ||
| Czech Republic | 4-2 | Latvia |
| Sweden | 1-0 | Switzerland |
Jaromir Jagr scored his second goal of the Olympics, which is amazing for a guy using a walker. Marek Zidlicky got his second as well; Martin Erat and Jakub Voracek added goals to lift the Czechs to a relatively pain-free win. Janis Sprukts and Herberts Vasiljevs scored for Latvia. Also getting on the scoresheet: Petr Nedved, with a Czech assist.
In the other Group C game, it took over 50 minutes, but someone finally found a way to put the puck in the net. Daniel Alfredsson scored, helped out by Erik Karlsson and Patrik Berglund, to put the Swedes clearly atop the group standings. They're assured of a free pass to the quarterfinals, as the worst they can do is tie with a team they've already beaten. Henrik Lundqvist kept the net clean for Sweden; but they got some bad news to go with their otherwise good day: team captain Henrik Zetterberg may be done for the Olympics, suffering from a herniated disc.
| MEN'S GROUP B | ||
| Canada | 6-0 | Austria |
| Finland | 6-1 | Norway |
Jeff Carter had a hat trick -- his first only ten seconds after skating out of the penalty box -- and Canada got goals from Shea Weber, Drew Doughty, and Ryan Getzlaf to roll over Norway. Patrick Marleau assisted on all three of Carter's goals; Weber and Getzlaf picked up assists, as did Sidney Crosby, finally appearing on the stat sheet. Roberto Luongo kept the net clean.
As for Finland, are you kidding me? Teemu Selanne scored a goal, and goalie Kari Lehtonen had two assists. Lauri Korpikoski added a pair of goals, Olli Jokinen had a goal and an assist, Olli Maatta had a goal and two assists, and Tuomu Ruutu helped out on a pair. Jori Lehtera also scored. For Norway, they only got one goal, a power play strike by Per-Age Skroder early in the third period.

Skeleton:
| MEN'S (after two heats) | |||
| 1 | Alexander Tretiakov | Russia | 1:51.99X |
| 2 | Martins Dukurs | Latvia | 1:52.55 |
| 3 | John Daly | USA | 1:53.58 |
| 3 | Matthew Antoine | USA | 1:53.84 |
No, not that John Daly. But by all means, go ahead and try to chase that visual from your mind. The third American in the competition, Kyle Tress, is in 21st.
| WOMEN'S (final) | |||
| GOLD | Elizabeth Yarnold | Great Britain | 3:52.89 |
| SILVER | Noelle Pikus-Pace | USA | 3:53.86 |
| BRONZE | Elena Nikitina | Russia | 3:54.30 |
| 4 | Katie Uhlaender | USA | 3:54.34 |
It was THAT close for Uhlaender, who had a fantastic final run and beat Nikitina by 0.18 seconds. The problem? She needed to beat her by 0.22 seconds. Uhlaender, who partially resides on her late father's farm in Atwood, Kansas, nearly snagged a medal for the Sunflower State.
Ski Jumping:

| 1 | Michael Hayobeck | Austria | 124.8 |
| 2 | Daiki Ito | Japan | 122.0 |

They're not in the medal positions, but three of the four Americans qualified for tomorrow's first round: Nicholas Alexander (30th), Nicholas Fairall (31st), and Anders Johnson (36th). Peter Frenette wasn't so lucky; he finished 43rd.
