Biathlon:
The Men's 15k Mass Start was postponed for the second day in a row due to heavy fog at Krasnaya Polyana. It's been rescheduled for 4:30am tomorrow. The women's event, much later in the day, was able to proceed as planned:
| WOMEN'S 12.5k MASS START | |||
| GOLD | Darya Domracheva | Belarus | 35:25.6 |
| SILVER | Gabriela Soukalova | Czech Republic | 35:45.8 |
| BRONZE | Tiril Eckhoff | Norway | 35:52.9 |
Susan Dunklee, the only American entry -- indeed, the first American woman to ever qualify for the event -- finished in 12th place.

Ties are broken by head-to-head, except when that tie determines advancement to the semifinals... which means Norway and Great Britain have to play a match tonight to settle matters. Sweden will play the winner of that game in the semis; China will face Canada.

Great Britain needed only to score in the extra end against Denmark to avoid the Canadian buzzsaw in the semifinals; they didn't. Sweden will meet Switzerland in the other semifinal. And, well, Team USA... sigh. The Americans are 5-22 in round-robin play since finishing fourth at Salt Lake City.
Figure Skating:

Russia | 183.48 |
Finally, the United States captures a gold medal in ice dancing. It's only the fourth dance medal ever for Team USA. It was a great performance for the Americans in total; Madison Chock and Evan Bates finished in eighth, and Maia and Alex Shibutani came in ninth.
Freestyle Skiing:
| MEN'S AERIALS | |||
| GOLD | Anton Kushnir | Belarus | 134.50 |
| SILVER | David Morris | Australia | 110.41 |
| BRONZE | Zongyang Jia | China | 95.06 |
Mac Bohonnon, Team USA's only representative, escaped the qualification and quarterfinal rounds by the skin of his teeth, but bowed out in the semifinals, finishing fifth.
Ice Hockey:
| WOMEN'S SEMIFINALS | ||
| USA | 6-1 | Sweden |
| Canada | 3-1 | Switzerland |
Brianna Decker and Megan Bozek each had a goal and two assists, Amanda Kessel and Kacey Bellamy each had a goal and an assist, and the USA also got goals from Alex Carpenter and Monique LaMoureux to roll over Sweden and into the gold medal game. Anna Borgqvist averted the shutout with just under seven minutes remaining, but it was all over by that point. Team USA had 70 shots on goal to only 9 for the Swedes, who just didn't have the speed to attack; all too often, a Swedish skater would enter the attacking zone and find four Americans there with her before help arrived.
Canada jumped out to an early lead in their semifinal on a pair of Natalie Spooner goals, the second of which was quickly followed by a score from Melodie Daoust, and it turned out they sort of needed them. Jessica Lutz scored for the Swiss midway through the second period to close the gap, and Florence Schelling kept the Canadians out of her net the rest of the way. Switzerland couldn't make that pay off on the other end, though, and Canada advances to the gold medal game against Team USA. Switzerland and Sweden will play for bronze.
