In the final night (ET) of the 2022 Winter Olympics, Jessie Diggins earned silver in the 30km cross-country race — her third Olympic medal overall.
Mikaela Shiffrin, River Radamus, Paula Moltzan and Tommy Ford ended up just off the podium in the mixed team alpine event in a down-to-the-wire finish in tough conditions. And in four-man bobsled, Germany placed first, second and fourth, with Canada in third.
In progress tonight is the men’s hockey gold-medal game: Finland vs. the Russian Olympic Committee. ROC is the reigning champion, having defeated Germany for gold in 2018. The Russians return seven players from that 2018 squad, but scoring has been tough this time around. Russian goalie Ivan Fedotov has been the difference-maker as ROC has allowed one or fewer goals in four of the five games they have played.
The Beijing Games come to a close Sunday morning (7 a.m. ET) with the closing ceremony. We’ll have live updates on it all here:
Shiffrin and Team USA finish fourth
Mikaela Shiffrin’s hopes for an Olympic medal at the 2022 Games were dashed on Saturday night (ET) as Team USA missed out on bronze to Norway in the mixed team parallel event.

Shiffrin skied four clean races in each of the rounds, winning against Slovakia’s Rebeka Jancova and narrowly losing the other three on the slower red course.
During the individual races at the Olympics, Shiffrin recorded a rare “Did Not Finish” during the slalom, grand slalom and in the combined event. She finished in ninth place in the super-G and 18th in the downhill.
