Lucas Pinheiro Braathen collapsed in jubilation onto the snow after crossing the line in the men’s giant slalom, the enormity of his achievement had hit. He had won gold, Brazil’s and South America's first-ever medal at a Winter Olympics, and beat the great Marco Odermatt in the process. A brilliant first run had put Braathen in pole position going into the second and final run. He was almost a second quicker than defending champion Odermatt and knew what he had to do for gold: go quicker than Odermatt again. And he did. The Norwegian-born 25-year-old’s combined time of two minutes, 25 seconds was 0.58 seconds quicker than the Swiss star, who had to settle for silver. Odermatt, widely regarded as one of the all-time greats of Alpine skiing, was denied gold once again at these Games. Though he has 53 World Cup titles to his name, Odermatt owns just one gold, from the giant slalom in 2022. More on the history made at the link in bio. Photo: Julia Demaree Nikhinson/@apnews

"I would tell 18-year-old Vozinha to be really proud of himself. He worked a lot." Vozinha's superb display was the culmination of decades of work. The 40-year-old's mother was not able to see him keep Spain at bay in Atlanta Stadium — but he has made her and all his compatriots proud.

Lindsey Vonn’s dream of reclaiming the women’s downhill gold medal on Sunday ended in disappointment, as the American Alpine skiing legend crashed on the Olympia delle Tofane slope at the Winter Olympics. Vonn, who had ruptured her ACL nine days ago, went off a jump and clipped a gate in midair, sending her sideways as she landed hard in the snow. She received extended treatment after the crash and was flown away by helicopter. The race was paused for about 20 minutes. It’s unclear if Vonn suffered further damage to her knee. She was originally scheduled to race the downhill, team combined and super-G at these Olympics. The latter two are still to come. U.S. teammate Breezy Johnson won the race — and her first Olympic medal — becoming the first American since Vonn in 2010 to win Olympic gold in the downhill.

The connection between Olympic snowboarders Choi Gaon and Chloe Kim extends beyond the medal podium. Kim began mentoring Choi nearly a decade ago and cheered Choi on when she passed Kim as the youngest X Games halfpipe gold medalist in 2023. "I feel like a proud Mom," Kim wrote on social media. Even as competitors at Milan Cortina, Kim encouraged Choi after she had crashed on her first run. “You got this,” Kim told her. “You’re a badass snowboarder.” Now the protégé has beaten her mentor as Choi became the youngest medalist in the Winter Games so far. "I’ve known Gaon since she was little," Kim said. "She won her first Olympic gold medal at the same age as I did. It’s such a full-circle moment."

The U.S. beat Canada in overtime in the final of the men’s Olympic hockey tournament on Sunday, winning the gold medal for the third time. With freshly broken teeth, Jack Hughes’ golden goal one minute and 42 seconds into three-on-three overtime delivered the U.S. team its first gold medal since 1980 and ended Canada’s dominance in best-on-best hockey. The Americans abided by the advice that “Miracle on Ice” captain Mike Eruzione offered when he had lunch with the team on Saturday: “Just leave it all out there.” Read more about the match at the link in @theathletichq's bio.
