2026 Winter Olympics: Follow live updates Thursday from Milan Cortina
The United States women’s hockey team is golden after defeating Canada on Thursday at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
It required overtime, but the U.S. beat familiar foe Canada 2-1 in the gold medal game after a game-winning goal from Megan Keller. Team USA trailed 1-0 until captain Hilary Knight scored the equalizer in the 58th minute. It’s the third Olympic gold medal for the U.S. in women’s hockey. Since women’s hockey was introduced as an Olympic sport in 1998, the only two teams that have won gold are the U.S. and Canada.
The “Blade Angels” are back on the ice for the women’s free skate. Alysa Liu finished third in the short program, putting her in prime position to win the first Olympic medal for an American in women’s figure skating in 20 years. Isabeau Levito finished eighth in the short program for the U.S., while Amber Glenn placed 13th.
