Team USA freeskiers kept their Olympic medal streak going in men’s slopestyle Wednesday at the 2022 Beijing Games — in a big way.
(Looking for a recap of Tuesday’s events? We’ve got you covered.)
Americans won gold and silver in the event, earning Team USA a spot on the podium in the event for the third consecutive Olympics.
Alex Hall shot to the top of the leaderboard with an outstanding first run, and it stood up throughout the competition to earn him the gold.
Nick Goepper took home the silver and now owns three medals in the freeski discipline after claiming silver and bronze in the first two Olympic competitions in 2014 and 2018.
Meanwhile, the U.S. men’s hockey team got knocked out of the Olympics in the quarterfinals with a shootout loss to Slovakia. .
And in the men’s aerials finals, another American trio – Justin Schoenfeld, Chris Lillis and Eric Loughran – advanced for a chance at gold. Lillis and Schoenefeld teamed with Ashley Caldwell to help the U.S. win gold last week in the Olympic debut of mixed team aerials.
Figure skating has the night off (but NBC re-aired the women’s short program in prime time Tuesday night). The women’s competition resumes Thursday with the individual free skate.
