MILAN
The drama of the team figure skating final, where the United States holds a narrow lead, and a classic men’s downhill race will take centre stage at the Milan-Cortina Olympics on Sunday.
In figure skating, Americans Madison Chock and Evan Bates delivered a brilliant free dance Saturday night, giving the US a five-point lead over Japan heading into the decisive day of the team event.
The gold medal will be decided by the men’s, women’s, and pairs free skates, beginning at 7:30 pm local time (1830 GMT, 1:30 pm ET).
On the slopes, the prestigious men’s downhill—often considered the signature event of alpine skiing—will award its medal.
The field is wide open, promising a high-stakes battle for Olympic glory.
The day’s schedule also includes medal events in biathlon, luge, skiathlon, and speedskating.
