YANQING, China : Austria's Matthias Mayer made history on Tuesday at the Beijing Games by winning an Alpine skiing gold medal at three straight Olympics, leaving his awe-struck rivals almost speechless.
BEIJING : San Francisco-born Eileen Gu, who lifted the host country to the top of the medals table at the Beijing Olympics with a freeski Big Air gold on Tuesday, remained evasive on whether she was still holding an American passport.
YANQING, China : Few athletes shoulder the weight of history as easily as American skier Ryan Cochran-Siegle.
Eileen Gu said she was more interested in celebrating with a special bar of chocolate than wading into an argument about her nationality, after the American-born Chinese star won gold in the freestyle skiing big air event at the Winter Olympics. The 18-year-old is undoubtedly the most high-profile home athlete of the Games, and she got her bid to win triple gold off to a perfect start, beating Tess Ledoux of France by 0.75 points to claim the title. Britain’s 17-year-old Kirsty Muir showed her immense promise by finishing fifth.
BEIJING: Ding Hongtao, a doctor at the speed skating venue of the Beijing Winter Olympics, didn't think he would see his fiance for weeks once he entered the "closed loop" of the Games that separates staff from the general public.
A referee in the ice hockey match between Canada and USA was inadvertently caught in the face by a players’ stick. The incident happened as USA’s Amanda Kessel sped past the referee, who felt the full force of her trailing stick as it whacked her upper lip, causing a small gash.
Canada's Jennifer Hawkrigg very nearly cleaned out Poland's Weronika Biela-Nowaczyk in the first run of the parallel giant slalom qualifying round at the Genting Snow Park P & X Stadium. Hawkrigg, who was making her Olympics debut, was going nicely down the blue course before losing her balance on a turn and skidded off.
Figure skating great Yuzuru Hanyu says he was totally “shocked” after a disastrous short programme at the Winter Olympics handed momentum to Nathan Chen — who took full advantage by setting a new world record. Japan’s reigning champion is considered by many to be the greatest skater of all time but delivered a routine full of errors — with one big mistake, during an attempt at a quadruple salchow. After, he blamed the mistake on a divot on the ice.
