Skiing star Mikaela Shiffrin's Olympic return didn't go as planned. Shiffrin and teammate Breezy Johnson finished just shy of the podium in the Alpine Women's Combined event, but Team USA still took bronze.

Americans racked up silver medals in Men's Cross-Country Skiing, Men's Ski Slopestyle, and Mixed Doubles Curling, a first for the US.

Meanwhile, all eyes were on the ice as US figure skater Ilia Malinin began his quest for individual gold. The quad god jumped his way to first in the men's short program, but it was American Maxim Naumov, who was moved to tears, making his Olympic debut after losing his parents last year in the midair collision over Washington, DC. As he took to the ice, a quote showed on the jumbotron. "Mom and dad, this is for you." Susan Hamel-Bottari is a figure skating coach and family friend. SUSAN HAMEL-BOTTARI: I've seen him go through the ups and downs, but he's always determined, he's always inspirational, and he's a fighter. Now, Tony, across town, the US Women's Hockey team trounced Canada in one of the biggest rivalries at these Olympics. While it was just a prelim match, it was likely a preview of next week's gold medal face-off. Tony, we'll keep watching. Kelly, thank you very
