Team USA's Hilary Knight "channeling The Rock" and ready to go for gold in women’s hockey final

Hilary Knight celebrated Team USA's women's ice hockey semi-final win against Finland at Beijing 2022 by "channeling The Rock".

Knight got a goal and an assist as the U.S. beat Finland 4-1 to set up a gold medal match with Team Canada.

The final clash at Wukesong Sports Centre on Thursday 17 February (12:10 China Standard Time, 20:10 PST in Vancouver and Los Angeles on Wednesday night) is a rematch of the final at the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, where the USA emerged as winners following a shootout.

Knight has won eight World Championship titles and two silvers stretching back to 2007, a year after she made her debut at the 2006 Four Nations Cup.

Knight scored the crucial second goal in the semi-final against Finland, her fifth of the tournament so far, to set up the gold medal game against arch-rivals Canada.

Canada have been in fearsome form with a 100% win record and 54 goals scored.

They will be looking to wrest back the Olympic title which they won on four straight occasions between 2002 and 2014 until Team USA's victory four years ago.

USA also won the gold medal at Nagano 1998 when ice hockey was first included on the women's programme.

Canada beat USA 4-2 in the round-robin stage and Knight is looking forward to renewing rivalries.
