Finland has won its first Olympic ice hockey gold medal, beating the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) team 2-1 in the men's final at the National Indoor Stadium in Beijing.
Eve Muirhead can be considered as one of curling’s greatest ever skips after guiding Team GB to women’s curling gold at the Winter Olympics, according to her counterpart Bruce Mouat. At her fourth Olympics, the 31-year-old made up for previous heartbreak at the Games by securing her rink a dominant win over Japan in the Beijing final. Ad/> Mouat was watching on in the Ice Cube after an emotional few days, having won silver in the men’s competition and been told he had been selected as Great Britain’s flagbearer for the closing ceremony.
Figure skating signed off from the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games with a spectacular, star-studded exhibition gala. Before the official closing ceremony takes place on Sunday afternoon, a variety of medallists and competitors were on show to celebrate a wonderful couple of weeks of figure skating at the Capitol Indoor Stadium. Ad/> The first of the champions to take the ice was the Russian Olympic Committee’s Anna Shcherbakova, who won gold in women’s single skating.
With the Beijing Winter Olympics coming to a close, athletes who had previously held their tongues on China’s human rights record are now speaking out.
Bruce Mouat says having the honour of being Team GB’s flagbearer for the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics will be the “proudest moment” of his life, capping a whirlwind few days for the silver medal winning men’s curling skip. Mouat was in the Ice Cube to watch Eve Muirhead guide the women’s rink to gold by thrashing Japan in the final, less than 24 hours after an agonising defeat by Sweden in a match which went to an extra end. Ad/> Not long after, Mouat was told by Great Britain's Chef de Mission Georgie Harland that he had been chosen to carry the Union flag into the closing ceremony and he says it capped a rollercoaster day.
Finland took the final medal of Beijing 2022, winning the nation's first ever Winter Olympic ice hockey gold with a narrow felling of defending champions the ROC. The Finns became world champions for a third time in 2019 but had never won Olympic gold, twice reaching the deciding game in 1988 and 2006 but falling short. Ad/> But a powerhouse side, capitalising on the absence of the NHL stars, controlled the final, with Hannes Bjorninen atoning for an early, costly stint in the penalty box with the winner just 30 seconds into the last period.
Norway’s Therese Johaug won gold in the 30 kilometre mass start to secure a hat-trick of titles at Beijing 2022 and close her Olympic career with victory. Johaug had won the 10km classical and 15km skiathlon events earlier in the Games, and survived a ferocious wind to prevail after nearly an hour and a half of tough racing.
The last British curling gold at the Winter Olympics came 20 years ago in Salt Lake City — “what took them so long?!” joked the skip who guided them to that victory, after Eve Muirhead’s rink topped the podium in Beijing. Rhona Howie, better known by her previous name, Rhona Martin, has described Team GB’s dominant win over Japan as “phenomenal” for the sport in the UK.
