Olympic report
Alpine skiing American Lindsey Vonn settled for bronze in the super-G, Austria’s Andrea Fischbacher pulled off the upset, and Tina Maze of Slovenia was the surprise silver medalist. Vonn conceded she let up at the end – and it cost her. While many of the favorites struggled with a sharp right turn midway down, Vonn made it through that section without a problem. She then lost nearly half a second on the bottom section.
•Switzerland’s Simon Ammann won the large hill to become the first ski jumper with four individual Olympic titles. He used his disputed bindings again, beating four Austrians who weren’t happy about his equipment. Polish veteran Adam Malysz took silver, and Austrian Gregor Schlierenzauer earned bronze.
•Sweden’s Marcus Hellner won the men’s 30-kilometer pursuit, pulling away from three rivals. Germany’s Tobias Angerer finished 2.1 seconds behind for the silver medal. Sweden’s Johan Olsson took the bronze.
•The finals for women’s freestyle aerials will be missing defending champion Evelyn Leu of Switzerland. Leu fell on her second of two jumps in the qualifying round and did not make the final 12. Alla Tsuper of Belarus won the qualifying. Three Americans made the final: Emily Cook, Lacy Schnoor and 16-year-old Ashley Caldwell.
Speedskating A bronze in the 1,000-meter short-track final lifted Apolo Anton Ohno past Bonnie Blair as the most decorated U.S. Winter Olympian. Ohno has seven career medals, including a silver in the 1,500 from earlier in these games. His medals are the most of any short-track skater. Lee Jung-su of South Korea won the gold medal, and teammate Lee Ho-suk earned the silver.
•Shani Davis won silver in 1,500-meter speedskating for the second straight Olympics to go with the two consecutive golds he’s earned in the 1,000. His expected duel with fellow American Chad Hedrick never materialized. Hedrick faded and was sixth in a race won by Mark Tuitert of the Netherlands.
Bobsled Germany’s Andre Lange was the leader at the halfway point of the two-man bobsled event. Lange completed his two runs down the Whistler track in 1 minute, 43.31 seconds. Lange and longtime brakeman Kevin Kuske led by 0.11 seconds over countrymen Thomas Florschuetz and Richard Adjei. Americans Steve Holcomb and Curtis Tomasevicz are in fourth place, just 0.12 from medal contention.
Curling Both American teams are on winning streaks after rough starts. The women have won two straight matches after opening 0-3. Debbie McCormick’s U.S. team beat Britain 6-5 in an extra 11th end. The men also won in an extra end, beating Sweden 8-7.
Men’s hockey Switzerland defeated Norway 5-4 on Romano Lemm’s goal 2:28 into overtime. Tore Vikingstad’s third goal of the game for Norway sent the game into overtime. Norway and Switzerland will have to win their next games to reach the quarterfinals.
•Marian Hossa scored early in the second period, helping Slovakia rout winless Latvia 6-0. The Slovaks will have to win Tuesday to earn a quarterfinal spot.
