After a thrilling day at the Milano-Cortina Olympics, attention now shifts to Day 13 of the games. Exciting matchups await in women’s hockey as rivals Canada and the United States compete for the gold medal. Additionally, the Canadian women’s curling team is aiming for a playoff spot, while the Canadian men’s curling team can secure a medal with a win in the semifinals. Other highlights include the women’s figure skating final, U.S. speed skater Jordan Stolz’s pursuit of his third title, and the debut of a new sport at the Winter Olympics.
The women’s hockey gold-medal game between Canada and the United States is set for 1:10 p.m. ET. This matchup has historically been closely contested, with numerous games decided by a single goal. Although the U.S. has recently dominated the rivalry, oddsmakers favor them to win. However, Canada, led by captain Marie-Philip Poulin, a three-time Olympic champion, is known for delivering on the big stage.
In curling, the Canadian men’s team has secured a playoff spot, while the women’s team is fighting for a semifinal berth. The men’s team will face the No. 3 seed in the semifinals, with a chance to secure at least a silver medal. The women’s team is tied with the United States and South Korea for playoff spots and needs a win to advance.
A new Olympic sport, ski mountaineering, will debut with sprint events. Jordan Stolz will compete in the men’s 1,500m speed skating event, aiming for his fourth gold medal. In figure skating, the women’s final round promises an exciting battle for the gold.
Despite no Canadian qualifiers in ski mountaineering events, the action-packed day at the Olympics is sure to keep fans on the edge of their seats.
