Beijing Olympics - Highlights:

-- Archrivals the U.S. and Canada faced off in the women’s hockey gold medal game and Canada came out on top, beating the defending Olympic champion Americans 3-2.

Finland won bronze, beating Switzerland 4-0.

-- U.S. skier Mikaela Shiffrin stunningly went out early in another race, missing a gate and landing on her hip in the slalom portion of the two-part combined event. She was in fifth place after the downhill portion. This was the third race in which Shiffrin was disqualified, after falling in the giant slalom and hitting a gate in the slalom, which are her best events. She came in ninth in the super-G and 18th in the downhill. Michele Gisin of Switzerland won the gold.

-- The defending Olympic champion U.S. men’s curling team made the semifinals with a 7-5 win over Denmark. They will play Great Britain in their semifinal competition.
