Team USA secured its second medal of the Games with a gold in the team figure skating in Sunday’s final event. USA came out of Saturday’s Day 1 with a five-point lead, but entered Sunday’s men’s free skate — the final portion of the contest — tied with Japan in first place.

The Olympic Team Event came down to the final skater on Sunday. In front of a packed house inside the Milano Ice Skating arena, the United States narrowly defeated Japan for its second consecutive team gold.

Thus, the battle for the gold medal effectively became a math problem between the United States and Japan. That meant Team USA’s Amber Glenn, in her Olympic debut, needed to keep pace with Japan’s Kaori Sakamoto, a two-time Olympian and two-time medalist.

Japan kept the pressure on the United States in the Olympic figure skating team event on Sunday with Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara pulling out their career-best pairs free skating performance.

LIVIGNO, Italy (AP) — That ever-growing bench of Japanese snowboarders runs deep. Jumps very high, too. The country that has steadily been asserting mastery over the halfpipe took that show to the Winter Olympics big air contest Saturday night,

The 2026 Winter Olympics continued with an action-packed Sunday that included a crash by Lindsey Vonn. Ilia Malinin later helped secure team gold.

In her Olympic debut, Amber Glenn overcame a tough start to finish strong in Sunday's free skate team event in the women's figure skating competition at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Games.

Malinin's score was 200.03. When Sato's was revealed as 194.86, it clinched the gold for the U.S. in this event for a second consecutive Winter Olympics and sent a bench full of U.S. athletes, including Madison Chock, Evan Bates, Amber Glenn, Alysa Lu, Ellie Kam and Danny O’Shea, hugging one another as they clinched the title.
