MILAN (AP) — Alysa Liu had the opportunity to cherish skating on the same Olympic ice where she won two gold medals one more time. Ilia Malinin had the chance to replace some disappointing memories with much better ones.

The 21-year-old won two golds to start the 2026 Winter Olympics but wasn’t satisfied with a silver and fourth-place finish in his final two events. The results could drive him to greatness.

Before the Winter Games began, speculation swirled about politically charged competition and possible anti-American sentiment.

Liu has won two gold medals at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, one in the women's singles and the other in the team event. Outside of the Olympics, she also won the 2025 World Championship title and the 2025-26 Grand Prix Final title. So, she's already a decorate skater at 20 years old.

The latest celebrity sighting from the live broadcast was Jackie Chan, who was seen in the crowd tuning in to the figure skating gala. The crowd cheered Chan, who held two panda plush toys in his arms, as he gave an interview.

Amid the tear-jerking victories and mind-boggling athleticism playing out for the 2026 Olympic Winter Games, Olympic speed skater Brittany Bowe and Team USA women's hockey captain Emily Knight just took our breath away with their swoon-worthy engagement.

It’s got a chance to be the biggest hockey game Team USA has played in a very, very long time and gives them every opportunity to take down their greatest rival.” – Eddie Olczyk on USA-Canada gold med

Kenny Albert and A.J. Mleczko nailed it for the network at the conclusion of Team USA's win in women's hockey, and Terry Gannon, Tara Lipinski, and Johnny Weir let Alysa Liu's gold-medal figure skating speak for itself.

With the Winter Olympics drawing to an end and its ice rinks due to be removed, joint host city Milan has unveiled plans for a permanent ice arena both to seal the Games' legacy and house a professional local hockey team.
