CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — The U.S. women's hockey team had just won Olympic gold, and veteran forward Kendall Coyne Schofield summed the moment up perfectly. “We did it!” she exclaimed. Plenty of American women — more than ever at a Winter Olympics — had the same sentiment at these Milan Cortina Games.

The U.S. women's hockey team beat Canada 2-1 in the gold-medal game at the 2026 Winter Olympics on Thursday, Feb. 19, at Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena in Milan.

The Americans cemented themselves as unequivocal favorites at these Olympics with a 5-0 blowout of Canada in a highly anticipated rivalry showdown that likely doubled as a preview of next week's gold-...

Jordan Stolz was rather surprised that his Olympic gold medal streak ended Thursday. So was his coach. And so, too, was Ning Zhongyan of China, the man who beat Stolz in speedskating's 1,500 meters at the Milan Cortina Games.

Norway picked up its 17th gold medal, which set a record for most first-place finishes by a country at a single Winter Games.

Ning, who won a bronze in the 1,000 meters, was considered a podium threat but not the main challenger to Stolz.
