Beijing Olympics -- Feb. 14 Highlights

Beijing Olympics - Highlights:

-- Lawyers for 15-year-old Russian figure skating star Kamila Valieva said during the hearing that ruled she could compete in the women’s competition despite a positive drug test in December that she failed the test because of contamination from heart medication her grandfather was taking. She is being allowed to compete, starting with the women’s short program airing tonight, because as a minor she is subject to different rules. But an investigation will continue, and if Valieva wins a medal, no medals will be awarded in the women’s competition until the probe is done, which could take months. 

-- The defending Olympic champion U.S. women’s hockey team with play archrival Canada in the gold medal game after the U.S. beat Finland 4-1 in their semifinal. Canada won its semifinal earlier in the day 10-3 over Switzerland. During that pummeling, Canada had five first-period goals over an Olympic record span of 3:24.
