Winter Olympics Day 13 Recap: USA's Dominance in Women's Sports (2026)

Day 13 of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina was a day of thrilling victories and unexpected turns. The USA women's hockey team secured a stunning win over Canada in overtime, claiming the gold medal and cementing their dominance in Olympic women's hockey. But here's where it gets controversial... The victory marked the end of Canada's four-year reign, a streak that had seen them win four of the last five Olympic gold medals. Meanwhile, Alysa Liu, a 20-year-old figure skater, made a remarkable comeback, climbing from third place after the short program to claim the gold medal in women's singles figure skating. This was the first gold for the U.S. in that event since before Liu was born in 2005. And this is the part most people miss... Liu's win was a testament to her resilience and determination, as she retired at 16 after the 2022 Olympics and returned to competition two years later to reclaim her spot on the podium. In other news, the U.S. speedskater Jordan Stolz narrowly missed out on a 3-for-3 gold medal showing, settling for silver in the 1,500-meter race. And don't forget to check out the full medal count, where the U.S. is tied with Italy for the second-most gold medals behind Norway's impressive 16. So, what do you think? Do you agree with the results? Or do you have a different interpretation of the events? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
