Snowboarder Su Yiming has delivered China its first gold medal of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics by winning the men's slopestyle final.
CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — Ami Nakai and Japanese teammate Kaori Sakamoto upstaged Alysa Liu and the rest of the “Blade Angels” from the U.S. to take the lead after the short program in the women’s figure skating competition at the Milan Cortina Olympics on Tuesday.
Frostad swiped the gold medal back from Forehand by equalling that 98.25 on his final run, giving Norway its 14th gold of this year's Games. While Forehand couldn't nab gold, he walked away with an impressive silver medal in what commentators called the best Big Air competition they've ever seen with outrageous scoring from the entire field.
Japan won its first Olympic pairs gold and Georgia earned its first Winter Games medal at Milan Cortina 2026, rewriting figure skating history.
