The sport of ski mountaineering made its long-awaited Olympics debut Thursday and crowned its first champion at the Milano Cortina Winter Games in Marianne Fatton of Switzerland.

There are two women's hockey games on Thursday, Feb. 19, and medals are on the line. Sweden and Switzerland will meet in the bronze medal game at 8:40 a.m. ET. Then the United States and Canada are meeting in the gold medal game at 1:10.

It is Day 13 of the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics and another eight medals are on offer. Heavy snowfall in Livigno has led to the postponement of the men's freeski halfpipe qualification, but women's qualification is still planned to go ahead later today.

For nearly 55 minutes, the Swiss men’s national ice hockey team looked poised to punch its ticket to the semifinals. Crisp passing, disciplined defensive structure, and timely goaltending had the Swiss in control of their quarterfinal matchup.

Nothing is inevitable in sports, but the United States and Canada have a way of finding one another on the international hockey stage. The Winter Olympics will feature the neighboring nations’ women’s teams duking for gold for the seventh time in history on Thursday.

Day 12 of the 2026 Winter Olympics was been a busy one for Team USA and a quarterfinal showdown for the men's hockey team against Sweden capped off the day in dramatic fashion. Th
