2022 Winter Olympics Day 10: US claims medals in multiple events
Here's what happened during Day 10:
Figure Skating
Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva will be allowed to compete for a second gold medal at the Winter Olympics despite failing a pre-Games drug test.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled Monday that the 15-year-old Valieva, the favorite for the women바카라 게임 웹사이트s individual gold, does not need to be provisionally suspended ahead of a full hearing into her positive test for the heart drug trimetazidine. The positive test was Dec. 25.
The Russian team can still aim for the first women바카라 게임 웹사이트s figure skating podium sweep in Olympic history. The event starts with the short program Tuesday and concludes Thursday with the free skate. Valieva is the favorite to win gold.
The ruling only addresses whether Valieva can keep skating before her case is resolved. It doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트t decide the fate of the one gold medal that she has already won.
----------------
Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron of France broke their own ice dance world record to win the Olympic gold medal that narrowly eluded them four years ago in Pyeongchang.
The last figure skaters on the ice for the free dance, Papadakis and Cizeron scored 136.15 points to 바카라 게임 웹사이트Elegie바카라 게임 웹사이트 by the early 20th century French composer Gabriel Faure.
That gave them 226.98 points, beating their previous mark of 226.61 set at the 2019 NHK Trophy in Japan. It was enough to hold off Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov.
The Russian world champions took silver with 220.51 points while the American duo of Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue claimed bronze in their final Olympics. The two have already announced they plan to retire.
Another pair of Americans, Madison Chock and Evan Bates, finished fourth.
Bobsled
Kaillie Humphries has captured a third Olympic gold medal, and her first for the U.S.
The former Canadian bobsledder was an easy winner of the inaugural women바카라 게임 웹사이트s monobob event. It's the first sliding medal for the U.S. in seven events so far -- the others being four in luge and two in skeleton -- at the Beijing Games.
Elana Meyers Taylor of the U.S. was second. It was the fourth medal of Meyers Taylor바카라 게임 웹사이트s career, the most won by anyone in USA Bobsled history.
Humphries has four medals now as well, the first three of those for Canada. She began sliding for the U.S. in 2019 and got her citizenship in December. That allowed her to represent the U.S. in Beijing.
Christine de Bruin of Canada won bronze.
Hockey
Hilary Knight had a goal and assist, Alex Cavallini stopped 25 shots and the defending Olympic champion United States defeated Finland 4-1 in a women바카라 게임 웹사이트s hockey semifinal at the Beijing Games on Monday to set up the sixth gold-medal showdown between the Americans and Canada.
The cross-border rivals will play on Thursday after Canada erupted for five first-period goals over an Olympic record span of 3:24 in a 10-3 win over Switzerland earlier in the day. The two world powers have played for the championship in every Olympic tournament except the 2006 Turin Games, when Canada defeated Sweden after the Swedes eliminated the Americans in the semifinal round.
This time, the United States is attempting to defend its title following a 3-2 shootout win at the 2018 the Pyeongchang Games, which ended Canada바카라 게임 웹사이트s Olympic run of four championships.
Cayla Barnes had a goal and assist, and Hayley Scamurra and Abby Roque, with an empty-netter, also scored for the U.S.
Snowboarding
Reigning Olympic gold medalist Sebastien Toutant of Canada crashed hard during qualifying at men바카라 게임 웹사이트s snowboarding big air and won바카라 게임 웹사이트t defend his title.
Toutant needed to land a big trick on his third run to crack the top 12, but he slammed into the icy landing attempting a triple cork 1620 -- three off-axis flips with 4 1/2 rotations.
The 29-year-old fell on his back, and his head whipped back hard enough to knock his goggles off entirely. He remained down for several minutes before being helped up and walking away.
Max Parrot, the Canadian who took gold in slopestyle last week, leads after qualifying, followed by Japan바카라 게임 웹사이트s Takeru Otsuka and American Red Gerard, who won gold at slopestyle in 2018.
--------------
Slopestyle silver medalist Julia Marino of the United States has dropped out of the Olympic snowboard big air contest after a fall in practice.
The 24-year-old Marino was set to jump 23rd in the 30-snowboarder field during qualifying Monday, just ahead of 2018 gold medalist Anna Gasser of Austria. It was a surprise when she didn바카라 게임 웹사이트t appear.
Team USA snowboarding said in a statement that Marino fell during practice a few days ago and is 바카라 게임 웹사이트prioritizing her health.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Marino바카라 게임 웹사이트s scratch appears to have been a late decision. The Connecticut resident of herself practicing at Big Air Shougang on Instagram about 12 hours before qualifying began, encouraging followers to tune in.
Freestyle skiing
Eileen Gu has made it through to slopestyle finals in freestyle skiing. She overcame a number of bobbles in her first qualifying run to nail down a solid second trip down the mountain and secure her spot in the top 12.
The 18-year-old American-born freestyler is competing for her mother바카라 게임 웹사이트s home country of China at the Beijing Games. She won the gold medal in big air last week, and will also compete in the halfpipe contest later this week.
While Gu awaited her score after the second run, she stood at the bottom and ate a dumpling. Then, she rushed off to the halfpipe, where practice had begun about an hour earlier.
The slopestyle final is set for Tuesday.
