‘Quad God’ helps secure USA's second Gold
The Team Event came down to the Men's Free Skate.
Ilia Malinin, known as the "Quad God" for being the only skater ever to land a quad axel in competition, lived up to his reputation. He earned a score of 200.03 after attempting five quadruple jumps. He still had to wait as Japan's Shun Sato performed a skate so technically sound it made Americans nervous. Still, Shun scored 194.86.
Team USA won, beating out Japan by one point, 69-68.
Amber Glenn finished third in the Women's Free Skate, while Ellie Kam and Danny O'Shea finished fourth in the Pair Skate. Madison Chock and Evan Bates finished first in the Ice Dance.
Johnson secures USA's first gold on emotional run
Team USA endured a whirl of emotions in the Women's Downhill event.
Johnson secured the first gold for USA at The Games, but Team USA watched American skiing legend Lindsey Vonn get airlifted for medical care after sustaining a leg fracture following a crash. Vonn did not finish, ending her Olympic run that was already hailed with courage after she competed with a torn ACL.
Johnson finished her run with a time of 1:36.10. That was .04 seconds ahead of Germany's Emma Aicher, who finished second to claim Silver.
