OLYMPIC ROUNDUP

MEN’S HOCKEY

Russia wins in OT

Russia rallied from 3-2 down to Germany in the third period of the men’s gold medal hockey match Sunday, scoring a short-handed goal with less than 1 minute left, then winning in overtime, 4-3. Nikita Gusev had two goals for Russia, known at these games as Olympic Athletes from Russia. It was the first gold for Russian players in the event since 1992, when Russia played as the Unified Team.

WOMEN’S CROSS-COUNTRY

Eighth gold for Bjorgen

Marit Bjorgen of Norway powered away from the field and won the women’s mass start race Sunday by almost 2 minutes. It was the eighth gold medal and 15th medal overall for Bjorgen, 37. The eight gold medals equaled the record held by two other Norwegians, Ole Bjoerndalen in biathlon and Bjoern Daehlie in cross-country. The 15 medals is the record. “When I look behind me and see what I have done, it’s incredible,” Bjorgen said. “It has been an amazing career for me; this is my last Olympics and to finish like this is incredible.” Teresa Stadlober of Austria was in second place when she took a wrong turn, dropping her back to eighth. She finished ninth.

MEN’S BOBSLED

Francesco Friedrich of Germany, driver of the winning two-man sled, added the gold medal in the four-man bob on Sunday. A second German sled and South Korea tied for the silver. Germany won gold in all three bobsled events at the games. It was Germany’s 14th gold medal at the games, equaling a record set by Canada in Vancouver in 2010. Norway also won 14 golds at these games.
